JJ Sugar Volume 3

Every year around this time, Charles and I send out a double CD filled with mp3's to all of our closest friends. For us, the holidays are about more than just receiving presents. They're a great opportunity for us to share our favorite music. Some songs are new, some are old, but for whatever reason, these are the songs we couldn't get out of our head in 2007. This is our 3rd annual compilation and here's the tracklist. You can definitely see our eclectic tastes. If anyone out there in blog land would like a copy, feel free to comment or email me.

Funniest TV Clip Of The Year

Sorry that the posts haven't been frequent lately. I've had a tough week and have been behind on my TV watching.
My posts for the next few weeks will mostly highlight the best of 2007.
Here's my favorite TV Clip from 2007. On 30 Rock, Liz begins to suspect that her neighbors are terrorists. She sees a map of the U.S. in their apartment with thumb tacks stuck in various places, she sees them working out in the park and filming it. Here's a clip of what they were actually doing.

P.S. This clip comes from www.hulu.com. Everyone should definitely check it out. It's basically the networks answer to YouTube and has a lot of full episodes and clips from many shows. It's very easy to use also.
