The Boob Tube

I happen to catch the half hour news conference formerly known as the Golden Globes last night. Aside from the missing out on celeb watching and glimpses of movies I need to put on my Netflix list, what I missed the most was all the red carpet action. Usually, the day following an award show is filled with the Dos and Don'ts of formal wear. What is a fashion student to do?

Since broadcast TV these days is filled with reruns, I've been broadening my horizons online. Please understand, my intention with this blog was never to focus on television or media. I haven't had cable in 4 years and usually spend my nights reading or doing homework. However, it seems lately I've been promoting shows left and right. That said, here are two more MUST SEES~

Flight of the Conchord - I'm apparently way behind on this one, and just discovered this wonder after watching Eagle vs. Shark (which is also hilarious, Napoleon Dynamite's New Zealand relatives). I haven't laughed this hard since The Office.

Quarterlife - It's thirtysomthing meets My So-Called Life. Great for anyone stuck in their 20s wondering when exactly life as a "grown up" is going to begin. This show first premiered online and is expected to transition over to broadcast this season. You can catch the first 6 webisodes at NBC.com.

I'm sorry...but can a girl get a little credit here? I believe you were exposed to both of these through MOI! I seriously need to stop talking about stuff and start actually DOING things!

My sincere apologies... I need to give credit where credit is due, thanks Amanda for FINALLY sharing both shows AND E vs. S after keeping them from me for so long ;)
