Can't. Stop. Watching.

Do you have actors that you only grow to appreciate more and more as their careers continue? That how it is for me with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. I enjoy them. Right now I am addicted to the work they've been doing for Jimmy Kimmel. I think it shows their versatility, their dedication, and their commitment to the betterment of the profession. I've been watching the Matt Damon video for a couple of weeks--it makes me laugh every time and I was thrilled that there was a response (as it is only fair). I have been making everyone I know watch them. Enjoy, but beware....the song will stay with you for much longer than you ever imagined it would.

Disclaimer: There is a lot of the bleeped f-bomb. Some of you may not like it much.

2. And the response.......Josh Groban...holy mother...

A Couple Things to Check out

Here is what I have been thinking about lately.

1. I find this pretty inspiring. It makes me want to go out and vote....again.

2. Upright Citizens Brigade. I've seen the Assscats show twice in the last few weeks and it is an awesome way to spend a chilly Sunday night (except for the waiting outside to get in part...that's pretty cold). A group of funny and sometimes well-known folks doing improv--tonight's version contained a mix of SNL, 30 Rock, Colbert, Conan folks. An added bonus: it only costs $9. I'm seeing a different show this week for $5 so I will let you guys know how that is too.

3. I hear the writer's strike may be over in the next day (thank goodness...come back Office!). In the vast wasteland of television programming the last couple of months Eli Stone has appeared as a breath of fresh air. Check it out....it looks like it will remain being pretty inventive.
