Today’s obsession is something that I came across on YouTube. I watched it and found it hilarious. Then I showed it to some friends, who showed it to some friends, and so on. If you are having a rough day (like me, I'm a little under the weather today), this video is just the thing that will cheer you up.
What’s funnier than two little British boys, I mean really?
I’m obsessed and you should be too.

Today's Obsession: StumbleUpon
Procrastinators, prepare to be introduced to your worst enemy.
Yesterday, I walked into my roommate Lauren’s room to see what she had been up to all afternoon. She told me that she had been “stumbling for the past two hours.”
Um…what?
It turns out that Lauren had been “stumbling” — or rather surfing — the Web all afternoon, using a super cool online application she heard about. Stumbleupon.com is a Web site where you download a toolbar for your Web browser, choose things you like from a list they provide you (mine include arts, cooking and travel, to name a few) and then just click the “stumble” button! Your browser will then take you to a cool Web site that has to do with your interests.
It’s kind of a crapshoot, but so far I’ve found some really cool sites, including jacksonpollock.org, which is a site that lets you create Pollock-esque creations on your computer screen. I've also stumbled upon cookingbynumbers.com, where you enter in what food you have in your fridge and it spits out all kinds of recipes you can make.
I will warn you, however, that you’ll get sucked in by this thing. It’s so tempting to click the Stumble button and see what it gives you. So if you have a paper you need to write or research to do, stay far away from that Stumble button!

Today's Obsession: Clark and Michael
After quite a hiatus (for which I apologize – hey, I was on vacation!) I’m back at my blog, sharing with you things that I find awesome. Hopefully, if I’m doing my job right, you will find them awesome as well. But here’s the thing: I am sitting at my computer writing to you - an audience that I don’t know. I have no idea what you like, so feel free to leave comments about things I’ve posted or other cool things you think people should check out.
Ok, enough business. Now back to awesomeness.
Today’s obsession must be credited to one of my best friends Whitney, who showed me this Web site over winter break. Whit’s pretty cool, just so you know.
The site is clarkandmichael.com. Haven’t heard of it? “Superbad” and “Juno” fans, prepare to be amazed. The Web site is home to an online show (called “Clark and Michael,” obviously) “written/directed/produced/edited/scored” by Clark Duke and Michael Cera. Yep, I said it. Michael Cera.
You might recognize Clark from the ABC Family series “Greek” – which, by the way, is really entertaining and an obsession for another day. Clark began this whole project as a part of his thesis for college. He enlisted his BFF Michael Cera, who just so happens to be one of the hottest — albeit awkward — young stars in Hollywood at the moment. And that's how “Clark and Michael” was born. Before anyone knew it, CBS decided to fund 10 online episodes, each being about 10 minutes long. Ah, to have connections.
Clark and Michael star as themselves, or really more of a mockery of themselves. The show follows their ups and downs as they try to pitch a script in Hollywood. It’s full of so much awkwardy goodness that will mane any “Arrested Development” fan proud.
The site also has bios for both Clark and Michael and links to their blogs and extra videos. It's perfect to explore when you're procrastinating, goofing off in class, sitting at home on a Friday night. Whatever floats your boat.
Here’s a quick preview of the show posted by Clark on YouTube. If this doesn’t make you rush over to clarkandmichael.com immediately, well, I don’t know what will.
