Summer for the hermit crab


So a few weeks ago I know where you were. You were looking up at the sky praying to thor/sam champion to make the heat not come. And yet like every year you found yourself walking the streets of baking concrete stumbling through your doorway with your shirt half off because the humidity levels are about twice as much between the cleave. So as to avoid the heat and those jolly ole' sun fun people this summer here's some stuff you can do to effectively preserve your shut in status.

Television:

Now if you haven't joined the cults of the office and Lost I don't know what to do with you and it is your social responsibility to take a few days in your pajamas and hagandaz to watch these two glorious contributions to the world but if you have then here's a few more shows you should be watching and referencing within your daily life.

30 Rock - Hey everybody, lets let Tina Fey change our lives. Man oh man, idol status.

Battlestar Galactica - Don't laugh this little gem of nerdfighter off. Yes it is a space show but that is hardly the biggest part of it. With a social message BSG successful gives the viewer corruption, sex and pure badassness in no gravity.

Weeds - I personally am marathoning this now. So good.

Arrested Development - Do you want to be the first analrapist? Join us tobias funkes of the world and pick this too good show too fast gone up.

Jon and Kate + 8 - This show is addictive. It's so wrong and so right and adorable and heart warming and goes great with a glass of milk and a smile.

Music

Well here's the thing friends I've been having quiet the summer beneath the sun, and you know the outside world. It was scary at first but you know it's good to know you can come home at night your tv waiting with a freshly prepared set of DVR'd goodness. When the two summer worlds collide it's pretty glorious.

love sun rays and computer rays
