How I Spent My Flu Season

While being sick slash dying hasn't been aiding in my being productive, it has introduced me to the TV show Arrested Development. I'd heard a lot of friends talk about how hilarious it was, and how disappointed they were when they learned it had been canceled, but I'd never seen it until boredom brought me to hulu.com where all the episodes are online.
I never laughed so hard at different variations of calling someone a chicken, or the lack in using the word "the," but it is really all the tiny details that make this show so funny.

Big Tree

I've developed a habit over the years where I'll find a new band, become completely obsessed with them, and listen to the constantly until all my friends want to murder me. AND SO I'M SHARING THIS NEW OBSESSION WITH YOU!
I went to the Middle East a week or so ago to interview Sarah Rabdau and the Self Employed Assassins, and while I was sticking around for their show after the interview, I saw the band Big Tree. Holy God are they great. If you imagine yourself walking barefoot through the set of a live action Bambi movie, this is probably what would be playing in the background. All of their songs are so pretty and catchy, I just want to listen to them all day. That's why I have been doing just that.
