At 27 years old and living in Southern California my entire life I have no excuse for never making the short journey (distance wise) to both Beverly Hills and the Griffith Observatory. Better then late then never. 

Jenn and I love Orange County so its not very often we journey out of our nest, but last Saturday (8/17) we decided it was time. We went first down to Beverly Hills and managed to get there without much traffic. Our iPhone's got us lost (nothing new there) but we managed to get there and even got free valet parking right on Rodeo Dr.   

This evening Jake and I got back from seeing The Spectacular Now an indie movie about High School kids falling in love. From the trailers you would have thought that this would have been a typical romantic comedy, but it was far from that. Within ten minutes you have some extremely deep and dark topics that make for a really interesting and engaging movie. 

A few days ago I posted the first Daily Show clip to ever hit WorldofJoel. Today I am going to break the same barrier but this time with The Colbert Report. A few nights a week Jenn and I sit down with our dinner and watch The Daily Show and if we are in the mood we also catch The Colbert Report.  

I cannot believe this is the first Daily Show video I am posting. For the last year or two Jenn and I religiously watch The Daily Show. It has become our go to dinner show. How can you go wrong, political satire, comedy, and a great interview.

Today is my birthday. I'm 27 years old and I'm in a reflective mood. A few weeks ago (7/17) I woke up in the middle of the night feeling dreadful. I knew right away given my chills that I had a fever. I went back to sleep hoping that would be the cure, but woke up with a 102 fever. 

Outside of video games, audiobooks, and TV shows, I'm also a sucker for a great movie. With each summer there seems to be even better movies to get excited about, and the summer of 2013 is no exception.
