Since Arrested Development was cancelled, I watch anything that has the Bluths in it. Michael Cera has been keeping busy since the show with Superbad and his webshow Clark and Michael. He is so good at being the awkward kid that he never plays anything else. In this video, Sweet Tits, I think that they try to play off of that. It is from a very funny show directed by Bob Odenkirk called Derek and Simon.

Dexter
An HBO series whose main character is a do-good serial killer (oops, this is actually a Showtime production). Although not quite up to par with the Sopranos, this series is definitely worth a watch. The first couple of shows were so-so but now that I’m into the 3rd disk of season one I can’t seem to pull myself away. Dexter, a blood expert for the police, soothes his killer addiction by getting rid of the scum that falls through the cracks of our legal system. Editing, camera work and the storyline become more and more complex as the series continues.

Rumble Strips
While I am lukewarm to their other songs, Motorcycle, by the Rumble Strips is phenomenal. They are finally going to do a tour of the US with the Cold War Kids, but Chicago ain’t on the tour. I first fell in love with them from their music video for it. Check them out.

Pray for Goulet
So I know that most of our posse has been alerted to Goulet’s condition, but what about other people who are reading this freaky blog (do those even exist?). It only seems right to honor him in an open forum where we can swap stories and sponge baths.
www.robertgoulet.com has the most information, and also ways to contact Cedars-Sinai Medical Center or post prayers and support for Vera. Brice will be sending Goulet a pub crawl t-shirt to lift his spirits, which we beefed up to high priority on her task list. You can get involved by sending a nice note, wearing your Goulet gear, or purchasing a home-made live strong bracelet from Al.
While I was searching for my favorite Goulet video (if anyone has the tv funhouse video that involves triumph, please share — it is honestly the funniest thing ever), I stumbled across this gem, which is essential in any good Goulet repertoire:

Enjoy, and keep Goulet on your mind.
PS Details of the transplant party will be posted soon, basically, keep your entire schedule cleared.
