Laugh it up

My allergies are wreaking havoc on my poor eyeballs. I think it's a combination of the smoke in the air, the heat (it was 90+ degrees here yesterday - isn't it almost November?) and the on-again-off-again Santa Ana winds. My eyes are so itchy!

On a happier note, do any of you watch Big Bang Theory on CBS? It's about two very geeky scientists who live across the hall from a hot blonde. One of the scientists has a crush on the neighbor. It's surprisingly funny. Being somewhat of a nerd myself (not nerd in a super smart way, but more of a nerd in a liking-nerdy-things sort of way), I dig the nerd humor on the show. As an added bonus, the show's theme song is by Barenaked Ladies! What's not to love?

I also found myself in hysterical laughter when I saw a skit on SNL a couple of weeks ago, during the show where Jon Bon Jovi hosted and Foo Fighters was the musical guest. (That combo was a dream for me, let me tell ya. I love me some JBJ and the Foo. Someday JBJ, Dave Grohl and I are going out to tea to discuss our fondest childhood memories and our favorite sushi.) Anyhow, you'll either love or hate this skit. I've watched it over and over again. I think it's the music that really gets me.

And yesterday Whitney at Pop Candy posted a link to the upcoming Judd Apatow movie trailer, which you can see here. Hopefully the movie will live up to the hilarity of the trailer.

  4. Nanette, my eyes are itchy and dry as well. I think it must be because of the smoke in the air. I came out of my house this morning to leave for work and the air smelled like musty cigarettes, a very weird smell, not like previous fires.

  7. I love that SNL skit. I saw JBJ live last year and had 10th row seats. I felt like a 16 year old teenage girl all over again. I loved it!

  14. I heart Big Bang Theory also in a nerdy guffaw type of way. I'm just hoping it's not one of the shows to be cancelled this season.

    Allergies killing me too. Have been wearing glasses instead of my contacts. Here's to relief soon!
