Shatner Does Palin

If you haven’t seen this already, then you need to:

William Shatner performs Sarah Palin’s farewell speech as spoken word. Clearly, it was poetry just waiting to happen.

BORING… Let’s Glitterator!

Well Shucks, There Are Still Worthwhile Shows on TV

Yes, I’m even talking other than 30 Rock. Enter How I Met Your Mother.

If you’re never checked it out, How I Met Your Mother is an Emmy-nominated comedy on CBS in its 5th season. And if you have, well, good choice, friend. It’s a tale of five 20-something friends, and  ultimately, a love story in [...]

If U Seek Amy?

What? Listen to what it spells?

This Ain’t Yo Mama’s Jane Austen

We all had to read Pride and Prejudice in school, but perhaps Jane would have kept my attention a little better if we had tackled the revamped version, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an extended version of the original novel with bone crushing additions by Seth Grahame-Smith.

For those of you who don’t know, I work as an interactive tour guide at a museum. Basically, it’s leading groups of people, in character, through a one hour experience.
