Aw, Peeps!

Tangents

I watched Elf over the weekend for the first time in years and it was sort of weird to see Zoey Deschanel with blonde hair. Did you know that her sister is the person in Bones named Bones and not the guy who played Angel? I’ve never watched that show, but I always assumed Angel was Bones. What is Zoey Deschanel’s sister’s name? I feel like it’s something weird. Bijou? Chynna? Mackenzie? No, wait, those are all Phillipses. What the fuck is it? This is going to drive me nuts.

Ladies and gentlemen, Merry Christmas.

A Muppet Family Christmas Part IV. First Sesame Street, now the Fraggles. Pretty cool! (and unlikely to ever happen again since the family has been broken up)

Check my page for the previous three parts if you’ve missed any. The conclusion for you tomorrow.

Happy Holidays!

This is my all time favorite Christmas movie as well as my all time favorite Muppet movie. I was convinced that my sister and I were the only two people who knew this existed. Muppets, Sesame Street, and Fraggle Rock. Swedish Chef + Big Bird. Just think about it.

Oh, and watch out for the icy patch!

A tiny preview of The Masek Family 2009 Christmas Letter.

P.S. SB, I need your London address.

It’s always interesting to see if my name, all of three letters long, is ever still available on these things. A strange gauge for how fast you are at adopting new formats. Apparently, I was too slow on this one, and this is totally not me. Honestly I would have no idea if I’d rather sleep with Shin or Ruki. Or if that is even a question about anatomy.

I’m not even sure what this site is, but I signed up for the hell of it. /tracie was already taken, too. /whiskeyfingers was available, though.

I need this on a keychain.

I clicked this in response to getting selected for a jury yesterday. Week long trial. Noooooooooooooooooooooo.

I just mistyped the word “adventure” as “dadventure,” which I think is how Ice Cube’s agent must pitch all his movies.

I just typed my Twitter name as “whiskeygingers,” which I think is how Danny Bonaduce’s agent must pitch all his movies.

well, I want this on a t-shirt for christmas. Tracie, Zan, are you with me?

Completely with you. If it were possible, I’d make my entire wardrobe Ohio-themed. I think I’m about 15% there.

How to by-pass Time Warner Cable's automated phone systems and get directly to an operator as quickly as possible:

Instead of responding with a polite “yes” or “no” when the machine asks you a question, scream the following into the phone as loudly as you can:

“YOUR MOTHER SUCKS COCKS IN HELL YOU FUCKING MOTHER FUCKER.”

Also, tonight I found out how to talk to a live person ASAP at Fed Ex. Try this line when calling Fed Ex’s customer service number:

“I JUST WANT MY PACKAGE. I HATE YOU.”

Works like a charm.

Chris won’t stop singing this. It’s been stuck in my head for days. Get it out. This theme song completely freaks me out. That maniacal laughter in the middle is the stuff of nightmares. Kelsey Grammar is one of the most terrifying people ever to me. He’s always drunk, and he gives off a bit of a rapey vibe, no? At least a subway-groper vibe.

P.S. I have terrible hearing and over the weekend, I thought I heard my sister say, “I watched an episode of Fraiser yesterday”, but since my hearing is notoriously terrible, I assumed she actually said “I had a seizure yesterday.” It turns out she really did watch an episode of Fraiser. I can’t decide which is worse.

P.P.S. Okay, full disclosure, I have, in the past, enjoyed an episode or several of Frasier. But only for Niles and Daphe and Roz. And the dad. And Eddie the dog. I have always hated Kelsey Grammar/Frasier. Rapey.

To get you all in the holiday spirit. Megan and Dad do a duet of favorite Christmas songs during Thanksgiving break 2008. Mom loves “Little Drummer Boy” and Dad loves the song that goes, “who who who who who who who”. There is a series of these that we made while drinking lots of wine and playing cards. I think Part IV might be my favorite.

Saturday night

Chris and I stopped into the Abbey around 3:30 this afternoon to have a beer while we waited for our laundry. The plan was to have one. Then we were going to go home and fold the laundry, pack for Thanksgiving, and have a nice dinner together. That was the plan. But then we decided to have two, and then we decided to have five. We ordered Thai food to the bar, bought the bartender dinner, and had a sixth. Now it’s 8:15 pm, our clean clothes are in a pile on the floor, Chris is asleep next to me on the couch, and I’m thinking about walking to the corner deli in my Batman pajama pants to buy some ice cream.
