U is for Underrated

Are you ready for another round of Alphabe Thursday? Let's go!

I'm switching things up today for Alphabe Thursday. I'll have another round up of photos for my V theme next week. Today I'm sharing a short list of things that I think are really underrated. Enjoy.

Archer
 Seriously one of the best shows on TV right now. So funny and so ridiculous. Why is it not huge?

ridiculous socks

For many years, most of my sock collection was actually much more ridiculous than polka dots (think: Popsicles, cats, penguins, ducks). I still rock a lot of socks that look just like this pair here. On more than one occasion, I have been caught wearing them under boots with fancy outfits during the winter when I went inside somewhere and took off my boots.

sleeping in
 There are a lot of really fabulous some ecards about sleeping in. It was hard to pick just one. There are a lot of reasons that I don't miss teaching, many of which are much bigger than sleep, but not getting up at 6:00 a.m. most days is definitely on that list. A good vacation or just a good weekend for me and Jake always includes extra sleep in the morning.

the color orange

 I have talked about how I think that orange is an underrated colors a number of times over the years on the blog. It's still underrated.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
It's Always Sunny is another underrated show. I have no idea how awful sitcoms on major networks that aren't funny at all do so well, and shows like this have a cult sort of following on a cable channel.

black cats

 I buy into the whole black cats are actually good luck, not bad luck, thing.

Peep Show
 A Netflix user left a comment once about how Peep Show is the best sitcom right now period, British or otherwise. I don't know if I'd say THE best, but it's certainly up there. Whether or not you like British TV, give it a try.

I'm Not a Pilot
I know that I plug I'm Not a Pilot a lot on this blog and elsewhere online. They are so much more than my favorite local Milwaukee band, and they deserve to be huge.

Do you agree with any of the items on this list? What would you add?

revisiting an underrated color

There are several colors that I think are very underrated.  Red is one of them.  I don't wear a lot of red, but I love little touches of it.  I listed this new pair of simple but fun button earrings this week: Button Dangle Earrings - Red/Brown.




I have an orange/brown pair currently available, too.  I don't have any more in the works right now, but if there is a color combination that you'd like, please let me know.

On the subject of red, bayanhippo included my Beaded Bracelet - Chain Links - Red, Green, and Blue in her garnet treasury this week.  Stunning collection!
