The Wire: Season five

There are some oasises (oasi? oasium?) in the barren landscape of new programming. For instance, we can already look forward to The Wire. In fact, here’s the trailer for season five right here.[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/O7HoWd7mY8E" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

Time to share

So, let’s get to know each other a little bit, shall we?

One thing you may not know about me is that I menstruate.

Not actually, but close enough.  Despite (or maybe because?) I have no experience with babies (I’m the youngest of two), I’m completely fascinated by them.  One day, I hope to acquire a few, Jolie-Pitt style.  For now, though, I’m looking forward to someday becoming an obsessively doting uncle.

On that note, I thought I’d share this commercial I am obsessed with because it is so fucking cute. It’s for Giant — the mid-Atlantic grocery chain — and features this baby spontaneously making weird-ass growling noises. Take a look.

I’m dying for Gabe and Jenny to be my friends so we can feed ducks in the park together

In case you’ve missed Cristin’s recaps of The Hills, the good folks at Best Week Ever have sponsored a one-minute video recap of the entire season. Admittedly, it’s not laden with pirate references or meta-pop culture touchstones, but it is pretty damn funny. Have a look-see.

The pair you see are comedy duo Gabe and Jenny and I am in love with them. They’ve got the gay boy/straight girl dynamic down, but instead of making it all Will and Grace-y, they’ve opted for a more absurd take on comedy. And I really think that absurdity is where it’s at these days — sarcasm and cynicism need to take a break.

Anywho, while you’re thinking about them take a look at this sketch that they made about online dating.

Don’t watch this at work if, you know, you don’t want to get caught/fired/sold into prostitution.[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/P4TUQ9MpT94" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

Side note: I just want to say that Best Week Ever is a really great blog and you should be reading it constantly. That and Go Fug Yourself. Two really smart, really funny blogs that redeem the blogosphere for the shit it continually churns out.
