Mr. Universe

finding good comedy, these days, is really hard.

(and by good, i mean family friendly, won't-make-you-blush or feel like

you need a shower afterwards.)

that's why i've kind of fallen in love with mr. jim gaffigan.

he makes family friendly, ordinary topics like fast food, large families

and even hot pockets wildly entertaining and hilarious.

you can watch two of his stand up specials on netflix.

"mr. universe" just became available to stream this week and it's hysterical.

(disclaimer: he does use a few mild swear words and reference pornography a couple of times, but

not in a way that we found overtly distasteful. but because of those things i probably

wouldn't recommend for really young children.)

confession of a new sad addiction

ugh.. you guys.

every once in a while, i get hooked on ridiculous shows on hulu.com... ridiculous shows that i have to watch sneakily while olive is taking a nap and matt is working upstairs. i think my lowest moment was my short lived addiction to the freak show known as "the bachelor" (the jake season. it had the strange appeal of watching a multi-vehicle car wreck.)

now it's "the voice." it's a step up from "the bachelor" but it's still pretty ridiculous. and addicting. and i'm on team Dia, if you're still reading this silliness. :)
