Hulu Plus now on Tivo!

They've only been talking about how Hulu Plus would be available on the Tivo Premiere since it was introduced (at least a year) but it's only just this week that it finally IS available. It was announced on the Hulu blog last Monday and said it would take up to ten days until it was available on all machines. Well, it finally showed up on my machine yesterday! I'm such a huge Hulu fan and even though Hulu Plus has a monthly cost ($7.99), I still thought I might be willing to pay it to get all the Hulu videos played on my TV. Now I'm not sure. Because of this introduction to the Tivo, however, you get a free one-month trial so I'll be sure to try it out for that month, at least. I need to time it correctly for maximum TV-viewing. There are a lot of Hulu shows that are not available on Hulu Plus. Then again, there are a lot of shows available on Hulu Plus not available on Hulu. And if it keeps adding more shows, it's a considerably cheaper option than cable, which I've also been thinking about getting. I'll let you know what happens!

Unaired SNL Clip

This showed up in my Hulu queue as a bit that didn't make it to air Saturday on Saturday Night Live - unfortunately. I thought it was funnier than many of the things that did air. Justin Timberlake plays Mozart and the rest of the cast makes fun of him when he decides that he wants to move from music into acting.

Book Review: Bossypants

Bossypants is the new book by Tina Fey. It's more a collection of essays than it is a straightforward autobiography but I thought it would be perfect to listen to while I drove to Ohio and back a few weeks ago. Also, considering I haven't read a book since the first week of January, I thought it would be a good way to ease back into things. (Does listening to an audio book count as reading?) Anyway, it was a good way to ease back into reading. It was perfect for a road trip with enough funny anecdotes to keep me entertained but stories that weren't too long to make me lose concentration. I love comedians who are not afraid of making themselves look like fools and Tina certainly does this. She even includes some embarrassing photos of herself. I think I found most interesting the parts about Saturday Night Live because it gave a little insight to how the show is done. I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in some easy reading.
