With each passing year I feel like I'm becoming more and more into Christmas. In early October of this year I can remember driving with Jenn somewhere and just blurting out "I can't wait for the holidays." Sure as a kid I always loved the gift aspect of the season but now I'm starting to care less about that and more just the joy of the season. A big reason for that is Jenn's hard work in making our home into a Christmas wonderland.

Jenn and I have never been shy about our love for Aaron Sorkin's Newsroom on HBO. Over the last couple of years when we've sat down and talked about our favorite TV shows, Newsroom has been a staple. When the show was renewed for its third season earlier this year, HBO also announced that it would be the shows last. Newsroom started with one of the most hooking scenes I've ever seen a show start with. Will McAvoy (played by Jeff Daniels) goes off on a five minute monologue about why America isn't the greatest country in the world. 

One of my favorite movies of the last couple of years was The Spectacular Now. If you haven't seen that movie you really need to do yourself a favor and go see it. Miles Teller who before that movie was known more as a comedic actor provided one of the best performances I've ever seen. It was a great movie. So when I saw the trailer for his newest movie Whiplash I was in.

Recently I discovered that people who consider themselves board game enthusiasts really look down upon Monopoly. They say its a bad game. I disagree and love Monopoly. However its a long game and getting Jenn to agree to play it more then once every couple of years is unlikely. However when at church, Pastor Kenton mentioned a Monopoly Card game I immediately (after the service of course) went on Amazon and purchased it.

I'm a big fan of Christopher Nolan's movies. I loved his entire Dark Knight trilogy and really enjoyed Inception. When I first saw the trailers for Interstellar I knew I was on board. So a couple weeks back not only did Jenn and I go see Interstellar but we decided for the first time in both of our lives to go see it in IMAX.

As you probably know by now, Jenn and I love The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. They're vastly different shows but both make-up two staples in our household. They're a nightly ritual for us. When we found out in April that The Colbert Report was coming to an end in 2014 we were both devastated. Sadly the end of the line is coming soon and Colbert is not going out without a big send off.
