While checking out Mental Floss after the Golden Girls post, I found many things to waste my time reading.  They, like everyone, put together a list of the best videos of the year.  The above is my favorite.  And although I have seen the star wars trumpet before, it is worth another watch. (more…)

So being in Bloomington, Indiana the armpit of America the radio station selection is bleak. However since Lizzy does nothing with her life but play on  http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/  she discovered this little  lovely station,  Minnesota Public Radio  The Current. At first  I have been skeptical of  Lizzy’s obsession with the Internet because it causes her to get nothing done and stay up into the wee hours of the morning close to when I get up for practice but this is a definite plus to her narcoleptic tendencies.  So check it out, http://minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/services/the_current/, it plays in itunes or I’m sure other music players.

As the temperature drops (along with my bank balance) I find myself confined to home on a more regular basis.  Seeing as how I have little to do on a blustery winter day I turn to my TV to entertain me.  But since the ol’ girl only gets 5 channels it is no easy task to keep me satisfied.  That is until my dial flips to PBS, it is there that my thirst for knowledge is quenched.  Throughout the weekend I was able to see a Bob Dylan concert, numerous cooking shows and, quite possibly my new favorite show, History Detectives.  So if you haven’t tuned in since Sesame Street I suggest you give it another go.  PBS is sure to please no matter what you’re looking for.
