So I was loving television the other night (see here) and stumbled across The Simpsons season premier.  I kind of lost a little interest in the show last year (it is still one of my favorite and have watched it since it was on The Tracey Ullman Show) but the stories just didn't jive with me.  I was totally blown away by the pairing of The Flight of the Conchords and The Simpsons for the premiere.  Truly awesome songs and fantastic story (although the Krusty/Nobel Prize segment was a little weak).  Anyways, my love affair with The Simpsons is back and I hope they can keep up the great episodes in their 22nd (WTF?) season!

So I watch entirely too much television.  Almost every night, a couple of hours.  I need to cut back but last night was scorching hot (a new record in Los Angeles: 113º!) so we were stuck on the couch trying not to move and make it hotter.  I turned on Top Gear, one of my favorite shows, and was excited to see that it was the BBC America season premier.  It was hilarious!  It had the standard stuff all the episodes do but what put it over the top was the segment Clarkson did on the Reliant Robin.  Only 10 seconds of driving the car, he rolls it and needs some passers-by to flip him over.  I has laughing so hard I thought I might wake up the kids.  I still can't fathom how people thought that the Robin was a good idea!  Anyways, check out the episode if you haven't seen it and if you have never seen Top Gear before, start watching it now!  Its the best show on the telly!

LEGO Star Wars story

So I thought this was great. Especially on Star Wars Day. "May the Fourth be with you!"
