New Favorite Thing: She & Him

She & Him: A band consisting of M. Ward and the marvelous Zooey Deschanel. So far they have 2 cds out, Volume One and Volume Two.

Pros: Their music videos are the best. My personal favorite is the one they did with Joseph Gordon-Levitt for (500) Days of Summer. Their newest one involves dancing and hula-hoops and is pretty great, too.

Cons: I cannot sing like Zooey or play the guitar like M. Ward.

Verdict: My favorite songs are "Sentimental Heart," "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here," "In the Sun," and "Lingering Still," but really I love them all.

New Favorite Thing: John Krasinski

John Krasinski: An adorable actor best known for his role as Jim in The Office. He also stars in Here We Go, and wrote, directed, and acted in Brief Interviews with Hideous Men. He's so talented!

Pros: Just look at him! He's the best thing about The Office.

Cons: Well...he's taken. But the lucky girl is none other than Emily Blunt so I suppose it is fine. They are a very cute couple.

Verdict: If he were really working at an office, I would definitely want to work there too, no matter how dull it would be. I could be Pam!

New Favorite Thing: Torchwood

Torchwood: A spin-off of the absolutely fantastic new Doctor Who series.

Pros: John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness. If you like Firefly and Nathan Fillion as Captain Malcolm Reynolds, you may very well feel like he is re-incarnated as Captain Jack. Burn Gorman is also a definite plus.

Cons: You'll be hooked after the first episode and will have to watch all three seasons. When you've finished them all, you'll be crying. Unless you are an alien with no feelings, in which case: watch out for Torchwood.

Verdict: There are rumors that Fox will be doing a spin-off set in America. It will absolutely NOT be the same, but I will have to watch it nevertheless.
