Wish Me Luck...

All right, everyone. I'm getting ready to leave this morning. I'll be back Sunday. Try not to miss me too much!

To sort of tide you over until I return, here's a little video for you to enjoy. It's a promotional video for my sure-to-be new favorite comedy that starts this Fall.

(Yes, it hasn't even started yet and I already love it!)

(It's not that crazy. I was right about LOST.)

(And Dollhouse.)

Anyway, this new show is called Community and it stars Joel McHale as a former lawyer who sort of, kind of lied about his educational background and has to go back to Community College.

(See, you love it already too, don't you??)

So enjoy the clip and I'll see y'all on Sunday!

You know I've already seen this clip like a hundred times, right?

Kristina: Only a hundred?? I figured it was closer to a thousand by now!

Kathie: No problem! The fact that I work at a community college makes me that much more excited about it!

Had not heard about this show, but anything with Joel McHale should do pretty well.

Have fun, Karen! Stay calm. ;)

Oh yeah. I loved the clip so I am on board. It'll be weird to watch something other than my Food shows, but Dang that was good. I foresee an addition to my collection. Can they Top my Will & Grace though? Hmmm.

What I Just Watched at the Theater

Dark Shadows--This movie was just plain delightful for me. Funny and campy and I think I've finally found a vampire to love.
The Avengers--Good movie. Lots of fun. Some of the fight sequences felt like they dragged a bit, but the characters came together perfectly and Joss Whedon's dialogue is perfect. Saw it in 3D and it was worth the extra 3 bucks.
The Cabin in the Woods--This takes that creepy-cabin-by-the-lake story and gives it a big, weird twist. It was a fun movie to watch, but not my favorite project from the Whedon-verse. Again, great dialogue, though. Plus, Chris Hemsworth. I mean, hello.

What I Just Finished Reading

The Drawing of the Three by Stephen King--I just am having a really hard time getting into the Dark Tower series. I know people love them, but I'm not so sure they're for me.
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson--It took awhile to get into this, but once I did I could NOT put it down. Great mystery. Fascinating characters. A great story overall!
The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin--A pretty simple and straightforward memoir, but a really nice look at happiness, what it is, and how to have more of it in everyday life. I really liked this book and read it just when I needed to.
Twitterpated by Melanie Jacobson--A fun story with great characters, witty dialogue, and situations that are believable without being mundane. It's a perfect choice if you want to kick back with a happy story that will surely make you smile.
