Something that appeals to the TV addict in me...

Way back, when I first got into "The Office", I started visiting a website called "Give Me My Remote". I really enjoy it. It has got me into a bunch of shows that I may have never watched without it. The recaps amuse me and the writer has access to a lot of background info that really interests me. One of the things that she does is a podcast with another TV blogger from "Ducky Does TV". I had listened to one of their podcasts last year but that was pretty much it. They then started podcasting regularly this past season of "So You Think You Can Dance" which I tended to listen to more regularly. I enjoyed hearing what they thought of the particular dances. I also started to listen to their regular podcasts particularly if they were going to be talking about "True Blood". So today's favourite thing is the "TV Talk Podcast with GMMR and Ducky".

Monkey see

A few months ago, my sister introduced me to a blog by sending me a link to this post. Since then, I occasionally go back and check out the posts. It does tend to get me laughing. It's pretty much a pop culture blog. I especially like the abundance of lists. To honour the blog, I am going to make a list of links to some of my favourite posts.

• Wii Injuries
• Songs for a "Sleepless in Seattle" musical
• Stuff to never discuss on the internet
• Absurdness of the "Hoedown Throwdown" (apparently it was in the Hannah Montana movie)
• Inappropriate jobs for Wolverine
• Fundamental plot truths
• Missing Bea Arthur
• One of my absolute favourites - Caution signs for movie characters
• Common causes of death in TV Hospitals - heeheehee
• Better uses of 30 minutes than watching a particular show
• Lazier potential movie sequel titles than "Fast and Furious"
• A plea against viewing vomit in movies and tv
• Movies more appealing than "17 Again"
• Why real moms are better than TV moms
• When to get snacks during certain TV shows
• The longest running fictional character - mainly here because of a rather amusing "Buffy" mention
• Why the Idol winner won

Mind you, these posts only came after the first post I read and I am sure there were probably ones before that that I would have enjoyed, but these posts definitely amused me. There are other posts that were good as well, but these ones, to be honest, are easily and quickly readable, for the most part. Many of them contain the afore-mentioned lists.

Anyway, today's favourite thing is NPR's Monkey See blog.

Fail!

A few months ago I found out about the website Failblog. The name pretty much tells you everythng you need to know about it. It features videos and photos of some things that didn't exactly go right. If you have some time to kill, this website can keep you entertained. Some of the content may be a bit off colour but it's generally pretty tame. Occasionally they feature something that had a more positive outcome, but generally it's about stuff that went very very wrong.
What can I say? It amuses me.
