Happy thanksgiving!
For those of you missing out on Oregon action today — it’s cold, but sunny and clear. One of those days. Seems like winter is going to be like that this year. According to local news agencies, we aren’t to expect snow on Christmas… which plays right into my plans.
I’m watching the parade. I’ve come to this conclusion: musicals are dumb. Really, Legally Blond: the musical? Did we need that? I guess musicals aren’t dumb, they just need to stay on stage. Musicals don’t translate to lip-synced street performances very well. The parade is neat, though. Good to see the Broadway actors, you know, working.
Update: I have now watched performances from Young Frankenstein: the musical and Xanadu. I was right the first time, musicals are dumb. Xanadu confirmed this.
Also: Bob Saget is my hero.
Well, today there will be yams and pie. Real mashed potatoes, made with extra butter. Rolls of potato bread. That green jello salad thing. Yams are my favorite. Pecan pie. Pumpkin pie. Really, Thanksgiving is the best holiday because of its relationship with pies.
Also, I will be participating in Buy Nothing Day tomorrow. You should all think about it. Usually I don’t buy anything on “Black Friday” anyway, but MTV’s refusal to air the Adbusters Buy Nothing Day PSA gave me the motivation to promote for them.
I hope everyone has a happy holiday. Here’s to Brett Favre still being alive.
i want thanksgiving.
