The Book of Mormon Soundtrack

Confession - I've been addicted to getting musical soundtracks from the library. Some favorites have been Chorus Line, Rock of Ages, The Addams Family, and How to Succeed in Business. But, my favorite by far has been the Book of Mormon soundtrack. It's written by the creators of Southpark so you're expecting some good raunchiness. But, what takes you aback is the heart in the lyrics. Matt Stone has said, "This is our atheist love letter to Mormonism".

This is their performance at the Tonys, but I would really recommend that you listen to the whole thing.

Ricky Gervais!

I love every TV show Ricky Gervais has done. The Office and Extras are just brilliant! Looking forward to seeing Life's Too Short. Too bad I don't have HBO so it will probably take a couple of years for the DVD to come out. Right now I'll just enjoy the clips...

Real Housewives of Late Night

I'm not big of late night shows, but lately I've been loving the sketchy type of clips. They're just so of-the-moment. And let's face it, who doesn't love judging some Real Housewives?

Workaholics

Can not wait for season 2 of this show. I now it's a bit late, but a Happy Half Christmas to everyone!

Gojee

It's the summer. I'm not big on blockbusters and I'm already tired of the reality TV. So, I'm trying to cook more! I found this fabulous site - gojee.com. You just put in what you have in your pantry, tell it what you're craving and it comes up with easy and inventive recipes!

PBS goes to the CIRCUS

I am highly recommending the show Circus to everyone. It's a 6 episode documentary on a small East Coast circus called The Big Apple Circus. Who doesn't have a childhood dream of running off to the circus? It's nice to live it vicariously through this group.

It is streaming on PBS and Netflix.

Look for my favorite character - new clown Glen.

Bridesmaids Outtakes

I am highly recommending Bridesmaids. Kristin Wigg is officially a genius for writing it. 

And after seeing these outtakes, Jon Hamm is officially hilarious.

MUPPETS!

I have loved the Muppets since The Muppet Movie/Sesame Street/Muppet Babies. And I've been slightly obsessed with Jason Segal since college.
Why do we have to wait 6 months to see this movie?!?

Honestly I'm not big on Amy Adams, but I suppose there are worst things that could happen.

My Worst Fear Comes True

This was almost as good as

this...

A Happy Pilot

My favorite first-season show this year is Happy Endings. Don't listen to the name, it's terrible and is probably the reason this show will be cancelled. It's incredibly sit-comy and campy, but I think that's why I love it.

It has an ensemble cast, as all sit-coms do. They include a married couple, several singles and a token gay guy. Casey Wilson is the surprise favorite. She was fired from Saturday Night Live a few years ago, but she has really found her place on this new show.

Wet Hot Movie Recomendation

Wet Hot American Summer is a truly underestimated film. It's about the last day of camp, set in 1981. Features a Frasier-less David Hyde Pierce, a sober Bradley Cooper and knocked down Paul Rudd. 

Instead of showing you the trailer or letting you know that this is on Netflix instant view, I'm leaving you with a scrapbook of my favorite scenes.

Terrible Karaoke Songs

We all know the number one rule of karaoke - stay within your range. For me that means no American Idol winners, divas, or rappers. Here, I've made a playlist of songs that are perfect for the shower and car, but just don't work for most behind the microphone. Of course, I'm secretly hoping to hear them after that third gin & tonic.

Current Jam ~ MoneyGrabber

This might be the 2000s version of what Stax started.

Welcome

Here I am, coming back to the blog world. Sadly, I shut down xanga.com/kwajbeth years ago. Last time I was busy sharing news from college. Things have slowed down since then, so I'm certain I won't be rushing to the computer to share about every detail of my life these days.

Instead, I'm going to share my good taste with you. Simply, things that I like at the moment. Hopefully this won't turn into your mom's forwards with pictures of cats in silly poses. I'm known for my amazing mix CD's, hopefully I can introduce you to a new band. Approximately 75% of my TV and movie viewing time is spent on comedies, hopefully I can make you laugh.

Here goes - I always love the Correspondent Dinner's roast speech. I was delighted when I watched it Sunday morning. However, even during first viewing I thought that Obama was much too happy than he should be. He was openly laughing at jokes at his current rival - Trump. Then, when I was ironically interrupted during The Apprentice, it all made sense. This clip is so telling on the second viewing.
