A KFC Christmas


Merry Christmas everybody! We'll be heading up to Salt Lake City again for the holidays. Our high has been in the upper 60's here and I have been freezing so the twenty degree highs scare me, but I must admit the cold and snow are still synonymous with Christmas for me, so it will be good. We're going to go to some Jazz games, see some movies, play some games, hang out with fam, and eat lots of Christmas goodies. Whit and I will also be celebrating our 5th Anniversary while up there. We made it. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Are you havin' a laugh?


Last night we watched the Extra's Special and it was amazing. Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant have done it again, it was masterfully written, so funny, uncomfortable, sad, sweet. Ashley Jensen is wonderful. Stephen Merchant is crazy funny and Ricky proves, again, that he's got a lot going on underneath that absurd laugh. Another fantastic series and lovely special.

Come on.



Watching this I had more goosebumps than a 12 year old girl with the complete works of R.L. Stine (that's the best I could come up with right now).
Watch

Each Sold Separately

It seems fun to be a child again, playing with Star Wars figures, doing mock British accents. The Chewbacca impersonation, however, leaves something to be desired:

Fortune Crookie


Today I received this fortune - so I guess I will be inexplicably compelled to go into my parents basement only to have a huge monster jump on me when I reach the bottom of the stairs. That or I'll have to try to make a bed that is like a hundred feet tall. Sucks.

Takes a licking . . .

Come on, Steve Nash is just so tough.
