Okay. Long ago, I swore I would never, ever, ever post...a cat video.
I hearby break that vow. Enjoy...

How, how oh how oh how, had I, until now, never experienced the joy that is 30 Rock? In my constant search for a series to obsess over on Netflix, I have heretofore only gone for hour long series, but the other day I thought "Hmmm. I wonder what all the fuss is about that 30 Rock show?" Well now I know. For the last week, I have been watching it every chance I can, and I absolutely love it. It's truly hysterical. Those of you who actually know me, know that I am not a LOL kind of person. I giggle. I snicker. I virtually never...guffaw. But I have been sitting in bed every night with my little earplugs on driving Jimmy crazy with my laughing. Howling. Making that gasping squealing noise. I may have even snorted. He keeps asking me what's so funny, and I can't explain it. He's just going to have to join the Netflix movement for himself.

I have a new favorite game app - 100 floors. It's a puzzle game, wherein each level of the game is a floor where you find a closed elevator door. You have to figure out how to solve the puzzle in order to get the elevator to open, allowing you to go up to the next floor. TOTALLY ADDICTING.
And the higher the floor, the trickier the puzzle. It's very clever! I highly recommend!

Last night, I took my friend Melissa out for her birthday. Which was in April. Don't judge, we're busy. Anyway, I had purchased a Groupon. Yes, I know, it's tacky. Not only did I buy her a Groupon for her birthday, but I bought her a Groupon for a Four-Course Martini Pairing for Two. And I intended to be one of the two. So we went to Lola's a rather famous LA martini bar. Here was the menu....
First: Bacon-truffle macaroni and cheese and apple martinis.
Second: Grilled chicken and avocado-corn salsa and cantaloupe martinis.
Third: Annie’s favorite pizza and lemon-drop martinis.
Fourth: Chocolate-honey jack tiramisu and clockwork-orange martinis.
Yes, you may officially be jealous. And since Lola's claim to fame is having invented the Apple Martini back whenever that happened, here is...
Lola's Famous Apple Martini Recipe
1 ounce vodka
1 ounce apple schnapps
splash sweet and sour mix
In a shaker filled with ice, combine the vodka and apple schnapps. Add a splash of sweet and sour. Shake, and strain into a martini glass.
Lola's garnishes with a slice of green apple. Which I must say was very refreshing in our 90 degree weather!

I always appreciate a good puzzle game; I am totally going to check that out!

I'm going to give that game a try--it's free and sounds entertaining.
OK, now I'm just jealous about the martini bar. the best place in town for martinis closed this summer. A new place opened up but they don't do martinis like the old place did.

30 Rock is hilarious. JR has been watching it much longer than I have but I feel as though I'm catching up.
Mmmmmmm...martinis.

That brings back some of the trauma of explaining things to my 9 yr old (then 8), who said, "WHY WOULD HE DO THAT? DID YOU HAVE TO DO THAT WITH DADDY?"

My goodness it amazes me the amount of people who did not get on the 30 Rock bandwagon immediately. I LOVES IT SO!
OK 100 Floors, it's on (why, Gretchen? Why would you do this to me? I have one called unblock me that I piddle around with with my oldest daughter but I finish them too quickly for her liking. I need no more addictions!) You know I just downloaded it, right? Ha.
Officially jealous of that menu.

Netflix has made my love affair with trashy reality TV blossom. It's genius. AND NO COMMERICALS!! That menu makes me wish I loved martinis! I don't get it: I love olives and vodka. Together not so much. Also I love girly fruity stuff. With straight vodka? Again not so much!

Jason is a huge 30 Rock fan. I find it mildly amusing. I'm weird about sitcoms. Some I *adore*, some I simply don't find funny (ahem, Seinfeld). I do get why 30 Rock is popular.
Martini dinner = awesomesauce. (literally!) I love flavored vodka martinis so much.
You should totally teach CPR courses.

Those CPR instructions are hilarious!
The martini bar sounds wonderful...hope you guys had a blast!
Here's my spin on exercise (or perhaps the lack of it!)

Oh, no...all I can do is hope that game is not available for the Droid. I am a puzzle game ADDICT.

I absolutely love 30 Rock. Alec Baldwin was MADE for Jack.

I really love your random tuesdays. Where do you find all these videos? I mean I know You Tube but do you start out looking at a commercial and then find yourself way over all over the place?
We are famous for jumping on sit com bandwagons way late--we have been watching 30 rock for a year now.
I am enjoying Homeland on Netflix dvds.
