Happy Hump Day: Jason Schwartzman

Having a pretty irritating night as I write this up, so excuse if I am not as bubbly as usual. Jason has been a favorite of mine since Rushmore and it was basically solidified after I Heart Huckabees. He the ultimate “cool yet nerdy kid.” I absolutely loved him and Zooey Deschanel together. It basically broke my heart when they separated and then was stomped on yet again when he became engaged and married to clothing designer, Brady Cunningham, last month. He’s probably best known as Wes Anderson’s golden child: appearing in the majority (if not all?) of his movies and for that infamous line from Rushmore: “These are OR scrubs. O R they?” Jason is now the star of HBO’s new series, Bored to Death, which premiered this past Sunday and I found to be completely hysterical. Also, he has his own band, Coconut Records, which I find to be amazing. Basically, he is the perfect man for all those indie hipsters out there (and me). Enjoy the spam, ladies!

Looking Forward to Fall

I don’t think it’s a secret: I love TV. A lot. The hubs and I have quite the DVR queue and we are proud to list off all our favorite shows, often to other’s complete horror. It’s hard to believe that a few years ago, I never watched TV. In fact, the only way I would get hooked on a series was if a friend let me borrow their DVD’s. Now I can’t live without it! There really is nothing like coming home, cracking open a beer and disconnecting from reality for a good few hours.

That brings me to summer. Summer is usually an amazing time filled with sun, fun and friends. But it is a terrible time for an avid TV watcher: no new shows. I have to admit, it’s been pretty difficult. We’ve had to fill the void by adding new series to our Netflix queue (The Tudors, Mad Men, Flight of the Conchords, etc.), but it just isn’t the same. I miss my shows. And thankfully the wait is almost over (well, except for LOST)! September is right around the corner and with it brings new programming!

What am I the most pumped for?
