Favorite Things: Skype

Two years ago, when my brother moved back to Bosnia to pursue an MBA degree, we lost our main form of communication — our cell phones. We resorted to e-mails and phone calls on Sundays.

About six months in, he told me about Skype and how we can use it to talk to each other for free.

For free!?!?

I obviously didn’t believe him, but soon joined and sure enough I was back to talking to my brother everyday.

Now, that I’m in Bosnia I use Skype  to stay in touch with my family and my friends. It has a chat feature and you can buy credit to call people’s landlines or cell phones. The best part for me is the video feature that allows you to see the person you’re talking to and vice versa. As far away as we all are, Skype makes the distance not seem as great.

Favorite Things: Flight of the Conchords

Hi my name is Marilyn and I’m addicted to television. I know it’s wrong and it’s killing off my brain cells, but what’s a girl to do? Without my weekly dose of Steve Carrell and Chelsea Handler I’d end up slowly rocking back and forth in the corner, crying myself to sleep every night. Okay, perhaps it wouldn’t be that dramatic, but who knows? With the advent of DVR and online episodes I’ve fortunately been able to avoid that scenario and stay abreast of all my faves on my own schedule–which is how I stumbled upon this little nugget…Flight of the Conchords.

My new addiction is a musical comedy series on HBO featuring a couple of New Zealanders who start a band. The writing is riduculous funny and the concept is event better–a mix of blunt, sarcastic humor witch random, catchy tunes about rapping hippos and business socks. Just go with me on this one…

If you missed the first season, check out clips here. It’ll give you a nice preview for the second season which starts January 18th!
