My Favourite Sitcoms

I was watching my Friends DVDs while having lunch. I never ever tire of that show. It's one of those few shows I can watch over and over again, and still enjoy tremendously. I don't tend to want to rewatch dramas as much as sitcoms.
My favourite sitcoms:
1) Friends
2) NewsRadio
3) Cheers
4) Arrested Development
There are a lot of other sitcoms that I enjoyed a lot at the time (Seinfeld, Mad About You) or that were guilty pleasures (The Nanny, Full House, the whole TGIF lineup), but nothing beats the 4 mentioned above.
Care to share your favourite sitcoms/TV shows?

Funny Old TDS Stuff

Well, as I was mentioning to Gina last night, I'm not posting much because I don't feel like writing so much. But when I find something funny, I can't resist to post it for everyone's enjoyment. YouTube is the best thing on the web these days. I can watch clips when I take breaks in marking... :) Anyway, I found old Month Python skits, and some Daily Show stuff I had never seen. One TDS clip stood out particularly. It is a parody of Schoolhouse Rocks, and features explanations on midterm elections. (As an aside, I'm not American but I totally remember seeing Schoolhouse Rocks on PBS as a kid. The one about the bill that becomes a law anyway! LOL)

Enjoy:

Cool Link

Before I forget about it, I wanted to share a cool website: Guess The Sitcom Character or The Dictator. Prepare to be amazed by a powerful algorithm. LOL

Just a Little Announcement

So I got the internship I wanted! Yay!!! It also means I need to get a lot of stuff done by September to be able to start said internship, which is frightening. Just wanted to say that I am going to be blogging very little for the next few weeks/months. The dissertation pressure kicking up a notch or two or twenty is all I can handle. As much as I needed a kick in the butt, for those who remember the last few months of my Masters, it's also not too much fun. LOL Anyway, I'll try to post stuff every so often but I'll see. Emails will be greatly appreciated, and will be answered promptly. Write to me even if only to tell me silly stories or send me virtual hugs. I'll need them.
As a parting gift ;), here is one of my favourite jokes. It's a mindless joke from one of my favourite French-speaking comic who used to do these really deep monologues but would make silly jokes like that from time to time. I'm not a great joketeller but I think it translates fairly well so enjoy. :)
On a cold autumn afternoon, a guy who was walking on a country road found a little bird on the side of the road. The poor bird was really cold, and appeared dead. The guy picked up the bird, and heard a faint heartbeat. So the guy decided to try warming up the bird by rubbing it between his hands. After a few minutes, the guy saw that it didn't seem work. He then saw some fresh horse dung close by. He figured that this might work in warming up the bird. So he put the little bird in the dung, and after a few moments, the bird appeared to come back to life. The bird was gaining back his strength and started chirping away. A cat that was walking by heard the bird singing. The cat took the bird out of the dung, and ate it.

There are 3 morals to this story.
1) When someone puts you in shit, it is not always done with evil intent.
2) When someone helps you out of shit, it is not always for your own good.
3) When you're in shit, SHUT UP!
Love you all!
