Weekly Reader – 23 November 2009

Best TV of the ’00s
The Onion’s AV Club does a rundown of the best television of the decade. While I’m of the opinion that this decade has had some of the best television in history, and while I wholeheartedly agree with the inclusion of such personal favorites as Veronica Mars, Firefly, and Futurama, not to mention such obvious choices as 30 Rock and The West Wing, there are some notable omissions. Buffy (arguably more of a ’90s show than ’00s) but no Angel? No Wonderfalls? No Malcolm in the Middle? Oh, well; TV geeks will disagree, after all.

Beer In A Box
YEAAAHHH! USA! USA! USA! USA! I think that with the advent of Beer In A Box, our country has completed some kind of transformation, from one type of society into another, wholly unrecognizable one, but the specifics of our new world are too terrifying to postulate.

New Cookie Baking Method
I am SO doing this for my Christmas party. That means it’s time to go get my waffle iron from the shop. Stupid waffle iron’s been in the shop forever.
