There's another show that I really enjoy that I didn't include on my list, its called 'Chelsea Lately' and its a late night talk show on E. The host is the same age as me and i think the writers are of the same generation, so I think its hilarious. Then they had to go and do a spoof Facts of Life reunion. Oh, the joy. It's actually not that funny, but at 3min30sec we all get a special treat (this is for you Hollie)

Best Songs of 2009
My exposure to good new music is limited cause the radio stations in SC suck anus, but here are some of my favorite songs of this year. (Yay! I figured out how to embed videos - so I updated my previous TV shows post with clips of all the shows)
"Uprising" - Muse (I especially like the sharp guitar noises - and the psycho teddy bears from the video)
"3" - Britney Spears (that's right, I like a Britney Spears song - back off!)
"Paparazzi" - Lady Gaga (I wouldn't even listen to this song when it first came out, but when I did, I really liked it)
"1901" - Phoenix (you might know it from the Cadillac commercials)
"Last Dance" - The Raveonettes
"Down" - Jay Sean
"At The Bottom" - Brand New (had to include them since they're my favorite band, but there is no video - just the song)
"Fallin' For You" - Colby Caillat (thought the video is kind of icky)
"My Life Would Suck Without You" - Kelly Clarkson
"21 Guns" - Green Day
"Uprising" - Muse (I especially like the sharp guitar noises - and the psycho teddy bears from the video)

What A Jackass
Yesterday, as I was driving home through the backwoods of South Carolina, I saw something I have never seen before. I saw a man hugging a donkey. And maybe I was imagining it, but I'm pretty sure the donkey was super-excited to see that man.

Best TV Shows of 2009
I decided to compile a list of my favorite shows of this year and I came to the realization: I watch A LOT of TV. And I have a lot of shows that I really like and its very hard to rank them but I made an effort to do it. But I had to make it a top 15 instead of a top 10.
1) Glee - As a rule, I don't like musicals or dancing, but I love this show. I laugh and smile the whole time.
2) Lost - I have no idea what's going on, but I'm always completely enthralled.
3) Chuck - Its been on for a couple of years, but I only started watching it this year but its so entertaining and so much fun. I recommend it when it starts up again in January.
4) Greek - I watch 44 episodes over 2 months this summer while studying for my board exams before the new season started in September (it starts again in January on ABC Family). I don't think I've ever done that with another TV show and the more I watched it the more I liked it.
5) 24 - This season started off really strong, but kind of let up towards the end, but still, its Jack Bauer. (Here's a preview of Season 8)
6) Breaking Bad - Cancer-stricken high school chemistry teacher cooks meth to make money for his family when he dies. So good.
7) Parks & Recreation - I actually haven't met a lot of people who like this show, but I think its because they never really gave it a chance. Its really funny.
8) Modern Family - Just watch it for the big fat gay guy Cam, he's hilarious (and actually straight).
9) Community - Yay Chevy Chase!
10) The Office - When Michael went to the shareholder meeting in NYC, I have never been so uncomfortable watching a TV show. I was cringing, closing my eyes and plugging my ears all at the same time.
11) The Middle - Oldest son that is too cool for his family, middle daughter that doesn't fit in, youngest son that is just weird. I really like this show.
12) Mad Men - Don Draper is one of my favorite TV characters ever.
13) 30 Rock - I really like Tina Fey and and insane Tracy Morgan. (This clip is old, but i can't find any new ones)
14) FlashForward - It has also lost a little momentum, but I still find it very intriguing.
15) Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia - Oh so wrong, but oh so funny. (probably the funniest clip of all)
This list could probably use some rearranging (though the top 5 are my favorites) and I would probably have included Big Love on it if I had seen it (I don't get to see it until it comes out on DVD), but these are my favorites. :)

Shirley: "Jeffrey, I have two boys and when we have a serious discussion I find that a brownie helps them to relax...So, why do you hate me and Jesus?"
Jeff: "I don't think my brownie's working"
