Brilliant!

I'd wish you happy holidays, but first, I have an unyielding inquisition.  here's the question-- if Xmas lights are so beautiful and sparkly, and provide so much cheer, why don't we keep them up all year? Fuck, that even rhymed.  It's an omen, or a sign, or something equally as forthcoming.

Anyway, onward in true tradition. You all know how much I love this video/song, so here it is again. Sigh. It never gets old.

I'll spare you this year and won't rant about materialism and how the holiday themed media that I subject myself to is limited, at best. (Christmas is not a valid excuse for inadequacy and compromising quality, people.)  Instead, I'll let you enjoy your holiday.  Oh joy!



update 1/3/11- so Mollie got me derby socks and Sparking Apple Cider (the fancy multi Northwest Apple Blend), isn't Mollie the greatest! I drank the entire bottle out of this obnoxious beer glass my step-dad has with ducks and waterfowl on it. Reminded me of wearing camo and sitting in a blind for four plus hours of si...lence... I really do like hunting though. Despite the killing and bloody corps you have to haul away if you are so lucky, it really is very serince and peaceful. Speaking of dad, I just got a card in the mail from him today. It was a thank you card stating how much he appreciated my gift to him. I found a first edition (second printing) copy of Errnest Hemminway's Form Whom the Bells Toll for Hyde Park Books here in Boise. I'm glad he loves it.

here's the question...

why is that patience trumps impatience?

We're always told slow and steady wins the race and good things come to those who wait, and blah, blah, blah blity blah. I've been trying to listen to this "societal advice" for nearly my entire life. Not any more! the next time someone insists that I be more patient, I am going to tell them that THEY OUGHT TO hurry up and be more IMpacient!

here's the question...

why does Howie Mandel seem so familiar?

...oh that's right! It's because I used to watch Bobby's World religiously when I was little.


and so that's what I'm doing with my day off, being anti-social and watching Bobby's world on youtube.

here's the question...

why does popcorn have a higher caloric value when unpopped than once popped? This confuses me to no end.

So I read a little and have concluded...drum roll please...that I am still confused.

Since we are on the topic of microwave popcorn, I might take this opportunity to tell you that my new favorite snack to have at work are these 100 calorie popcorn bags. They are mini and adorable and, most importantly, delicious.

Hmm. I think I will bid adieu and go make some popcorn and watch Red Ridding Hood. I rented it yesterday and am excited because I quite fancy the lead actress. So adieu my friends.

here's the question...

why is is that love and dignity have such a hard time agreeing in my life?

shrug.
