East Bound & Baby

This past sunday I helped host a shower for my friend rebecca celebrating the impending birth of baby Raughley. It was great getting together with friends that are from out of town, and even those who are in bham that I dont see often enough. Bec got tons of cute stuff for the baby, now we just cant wait to meet him!

On another note, I have a new favorite show on HBO called East Bound & Down. This one is a winner, and not because it makes fun of southern people, but because most of the jokes are pretty true. Its also a bit crude, but what can you do? Plus, any show will Will Ferell making comeos is a winner to me. Check it out, here is the bio and a link to a clip:

(this one is relatively clean, but watch others at your own risk!)


"Relief Pitcher Kenny Powers was poised to rule the Big Leagues, but two things got in the way: his fading fastball and his insufferable personality. After a spectacular career flame-out, Kenny came home to Shelby County, NC and picked up a job as a substitute gym teacher (mostly so his brother Dustin would stop threatening to kick him out). He's spent every moment since then cashing in the last of his dying fame while plotting his inevitable comeback... one beer at a time.

'Eastbound & Down' is the latest project to come out of Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's comedic goldmine Gary Sanchez Productions, which also launched FunnyOrDie.com. Starring Danny McBride ('Pineapple Express'), Katy Mixon ('Four Christmases'), John Hawkes ('Deadwood') and a host of other talented comedians, 'Eastbound & Down' was created by McBride along with two friends from film school: Jody Hill and Ben Best. The hilarious new series was shot on location in North Carolina and also includes a few guest appearances by Ferrell as a local car dealer with marvelous hair."
