December 2007 Archives

This Christmas vacation I've been drinking coffee, espresso, and hot chocolate; playing The Avett Brothers with my own brothers; making butterhorns; watching a Michael Jordan highlight DVD, including an entire Celtics-Bulls game from the 1986 playoffs; eating ridiculous amounts of Yorkshire puddings; watching my nephews play with their new iPod shuffles; sitting around the bonfire in the backyard; listening to family give Christmas readings; watching Charlie Brown Christmas; did I mention eating?

I've concluded that I like coffee better than espresso, Yorkshire puddings can't be matched as a Christmas dish, the humor on Charlie Brown is random and quirky, and Michael Jordan is still the greatest living athlete, even though he is retired. Also, women are better at Trivial Pursuit than men.

Quote from the Writers Guild of America: "NBC forcing Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien back on the air without writers is not going to provide the quality entertainment that the public deserves."

So now I deserve quality entertainment? Perhaps we should use this strike to rethink our priorities as a society.

On that note, I must say that a lot of laughter is gone from my life now that Stephen Colbert is out of it. Plus, I have tickets to The Daily Show for March 17, so this argument better be resolved by then. Why? Because I deserve it!

(By the way, I'm back after a long hiatus. Writing notes on my Facebook profile just isn't the same. Hello again, blogging world.)
