Over the holiday, Clay and I visited family in San Francisco. While there was plenty of food and games to go around, we also saw a handful of really entertaining shows. We visited Cobb’s Comedy Club to see the Daily Show’s John Oliver, with Alex Koll and Drennon Davis opening.

I’m happy to say they were all hilarious and it was probably one of the best stand-up shows I’ve seen live. Drennon Davis does the Imaginary Radio and it’s not only musically impressive, but super freaking funny. Here are two songs we couldn’t stop giggling about. And I dare you to get the baby deer song out of your head.

Just because.

After several years of waiting, I finally saw the first installment of The Hobbit. Even with all the anticipation and the anxiety about the story being broken up into three films, it was truly excellent. The magic and fun of the story are easily captured and the epic scale of the original trilogy is well maintained.

Especially wonderful is the opening scene, showing an interaction between Bilbo and Frodo just moments before The Fellowship of the Ring begins. It’s a perfect nod to the trilogy we all love and shows how this new series of films will fit right in. And the very best part is the magnificent Martin Freeman, portraying the simple, yet courageous Bilbo as we always imagined.

This ad series for the Cape Times is brilliant. It features newsworthy and iconic photographs as selfies. The ads say, “You can’t get any closer to the news. Know all about it.” Quite awesome.
