Undeclared by Judd Aptow

Again it’s the funniest, smartest, most poingant shows that get canceled.  Judd Aptow’s second ill-fated television series follows the freshman year of Steven and his friends in the same style as Freaks and Geeks.  What would have happened to Aptow’s carreer if these series had gotten the full run they deserved?  Would there be The 40 Year Old Virgin or Knocked Up?  Eh, who can say.

Steven is your typical geek in high school looking to shed his old image for a much cooler persona at college.  He doesn’t quite succeed.  What he does though is to develop a series of friendships that are meaningful and taxing just like real life.  Steven is shacked  up with the hottest guy on campus which doesn’t make his quest for a girlfriend any easier.  As the show progresses so do the charectors.  This is an all around hysterical show!

Three stories you can read to your dog by Sara Swan Miller

So normally I don’t review books for kids but this one is too cute to pass up! Especially if you have a dog! Collected here are three tales you can read aloud to your favorite quadruped. All the stories are told from the point of view of the dog, and your dog will appreciate it. These really are laugh out loud funny if you own a dog, like the story of the burglar who knocked at the door but when the door was open no one was there (obviously the work of an excellent guard dog).
