Whenever anyone says high praise, I think of Samberg's Nic Cage. Iran So Far seems to be really underrated by everyone, but it's just so damn funny, I had to put it up there.

Remember how many years ago Robert David Sullivan did his top 100 sitcom episodes? It's got 2 fantastic entries there, and an amazing 1 hour special on how PMs really come to be PMs.

Didn't the whole thing crash last time?

It's one of the best political satires out there, and inspired The Thick of It. It's highly regarded by politicians - UK politicians voted it as their favourite political…

After 3 assessments in 4 days, a 3000 word essay that had a bibliography longer than the English essay I wrote and a final German exam, I am done for the semester!

Pretty much any game of Risk. My most recent game saw me play the Europe Massive board and somehow rack up a 100 troop lead over my next closest opponent. At this point, the remaining 4 players decided to team up against me, which did not bode well for me over the next few rounds, but the now strongest player instead…

This is why I'm kind of happy that the productions I'll probably get to see are in London and Australia: totally new cast so I won't be disappointed if someone leaves.

Lin Manuel Miranda's leaving Hamilton on July 9:

I am really excited for #1 and #6. I am even more excited as they're both coming out in June here, which is a trend I can hop on board with.

Wait, he hasn't been in a coma this whole time?!?

The Larry Sanders Show. I just hear Hank after that intro.

Been rewatching some Arrested Development while trying to write an essay on Alexander Pope (1/3rd of the way there! Woohoo!) and oh my goodness it is so unsettling to see the Bluths in Season 4 … build. a. wall. on. the. border.
