The week of my 21st birthday, I decided to catch up on two shows I thought I would enjoy but had missed out on due to scheduling. The first was 30 Rock. The second was Parks and Recreation. I don’t need to go into any of the issues faced with the first five episodes. Many … Continue reading
I spend a lot of time in the car. My office is 72 miles away from where I live, leaving me in the car for roughly four hours a day. Instead of plugging in my iPod or listening to CDs, I like to listen to the radio. I like leaving the tone of the drive … Continue reading

He probably meant to make a harmless, campy, fun movie that left people reminiscing about big hair and rock bands and isn’t “Don’t Stop Believing” … Continue reading
When Jimmy Fallon took over Late Night during the Late Night Host Debacle of 2009, he made certain efforts to make the show younger. These efforts included games with guests such as basketball with Jennifer Lawrence and beer pong with Betty White and the addition of some new impressions not seen during his Saturday Night … Continue reading
I drove to work yesterday morning with the urge to listen to The Lonely Island. This was a strange phenomenon, since I hadn’t listened to most of my collection in a couple of months, but I was glad I did when I got home. After months of rumors, Andy Samberg has officially announced that his … Continue reading
