Still sick. Not the "cancel all my plans I'll be dead any minute" kind of sick, but enough sick to keep me from visiting Jon, Laura and "the 'mac attack" as Chris B. calls him (he reserves all rights for any animation that might result from this monicker).
I just want to say that I'm super pissed at whoever gave me this cold. I'm also confused because I have never in my life had more than one cold per cold & flu season and I'm pretty sure I already filled my quota for this round.
Anyway, we watched the SNL Christmas special last night. My two favourite moments:
1. Dick in a Box, by Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake. No need to explain that one, it's possibly one of the best SNL sketches from the last decade.
[Between that last sentence and this one I had to take a 15 minute break to go scratch my dog. She wreaks enormous havoc if her routine is not followed. Normally, she lays on me while we watch Canada AM for about 45 minutes in the morning. We didn't do that today as I went directly to drinking expired Neo-citran and paying all my attention to the computer. I sensed she was just about to eat my lip balm but managed to avert any disaster. She's like a bully. She's tough as shit on the outside with the Pit Bull-like jaw muscles and a terrifying hump lock* to back it up, but inside she just wants some scratchies.]
2. The Hanukkah Song, by Adam Sandler. I think the best part of that song is when he points out that O. J. Simpson isn't a jew. I am actually an Adam Sandler fan. For example, Punch Drunk Love, Spanglish, Reign Over Me and The Wedding Singer are all pretty good movies. I also liked Big Daddy and I think everyone can agree that Happy Gilmore was excellent. So there. Bet you didn't know you like Adam Sandler, but trust me, you do.
*Hump lock: Griff's ability to clamp her front paws around my forearm in a frenzy and assault me. Normally she does this while we are playing fetch with her humping dragon. She really just wants to hump dragon, but if I'm holding him in my hand then my forearm will do. As long as she has a clear visual of Puffy. Puffy is her dragon. Based on Puff the Magic Dragon...who lived by the sea...and frolicked in the autumn mist...in a land called Honah Lee.
