Don’t Need Nuthin’ But A Good Time June 9, 2009

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming of churchy musings, life as we know it, random references to Kings of Leon (Ha!  Like right now.  Did you see what I just did?  That just happened!),  and movies I’m dying to see to bring you this extra special bit of fabulousness from Sunday night’s Tony Awards.  Yep, I know it’s all over the internet, but after watching it at least 28 times yesterday, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this never stops being funny.  So I’m putting it here so I can watch it anytime I want.

You know, Bret’s right.  It don’t get better than this.  Alright, please continue.

I want to go to there… May 28, 2009

One incredibly productive use of my abundant free time has been spent watching a few episodes of 30 Rock each day on Netflix streaming and then harassing Tina (co-author of this blog KrisTINA not Tina Fey)  while she tries to work by emailing her constantly with my favorites lines.  Since I am too lazy to think of an actual post these days and since my entire personality is basically a collection of pop culture quirks I’ve co-opted over the years anyway, I might as well play to my strengths.  Here are some of the funniest lines from 30 Rock…a completely subjective list of course.

Tracy Jordan:  What is this, Horseville? ‘Cause I’m surrounded by naysayers. Wordplay! (Kristina’s personal fave)

Cerie:  Did he just talk to me like I’m ugly?

Jack to Liz:  What did your mother mean when she said you were a beautiful genius?  Was she taunting you?

Kenneth: I’m a real good sex person.  I do it all the different ways.

Dot com:  What is the world’s only egg-laying mammal?

Tracy:  The Easter Bunny!

Jenna:  You know, I’ve always reminded myself of Grace Kelly.

Liz:  Why are you wearing a tux?

Jack:  It’s after six.  What am I, a farmer?

Jack:  I get my hair cut every two days.  After all, your hair is your headsuit.

Republican Congressman:  I can’t support that.  Dam is a swear word.  I’d support it if instead of a dam we called it a God finger.

Jack:  Are these people your family?  Why are they all smiling?  Who’s being ostracized?

Kenneth:  Science was my most favorite subject, especially the Old Testament.

I can’t do this all on my own May 7, 2009

Eric & I were both a touch misty last night as Scrubs took a final bow.  I sent season 1 of it to Eric while he was in Iraq & he reciprocated by sending bootleg copies of the remaining seasons to me (one cool thing about Iraq was the ridiculously copious  pirated DVDs).  I know it’s trite but this silly little show helped us through a rough time, and for that we’ll always have a soft spot for it.  It’s as likely to make me cry as to laugh, and that’s a huge admission from someone who hates to cry.  I think Scrubs possesses an uncanny knack for capturing the truth about the mundanities and small triumphs that comprise everyday existence;  an honest acknowledgment of the necessity of tragedy along with the comic and the desire we all have to have made an impression, to have mattered.  Take this from last night’s episode:

Endings are never easy. I always build them up so much in my head, they can’t possibly live up to my expectations, and I just end up disappointed. I’m not even sure why it matters to me so much how things end here. I guess it’s because that we all want to believe that what we do is very important: that people hang on to our every word, that people care what we think. The truth is, you should consider yourself lucky if you even occasionally get to make someone, anyone, feel a little better. After that, it’s all about the people you let into your life.” -J.D.

And honestly, it’s just a lot of damn fun.  Here are some of my favorite moments.

Twilight Cake=suckage April 28, 2009

This is just funny.  God, I hope Ethan doesn’t want a Twilight cake for his birthday. (Cake Wrecks)

Recycling Matthew McConaughey April 17, 2009

Damn you Kristina, for sending me this while I’m trying to eat!  I choked on my pecan roll.  Too funny not to post.  Here it is:  Matthew McConaughey’s next ten movies.  I can’t wait for “Down for the Count”.   (Cracked)

And since it’s slightly related & because we love Matt Damon: his absolute spot-on impersonation.

And to be fair, a time when McConaughey was not a giant cheeseball (Yay for Cheeseball Day!)
