After my consternation and babbling about Earth Hour, where I went so far as to put two badges on the post below to make it look all cool and like I was really committed to the cause, I totally forgot about it on Saturday night. I even wrote to city hall in my town last week to ask them to turn off this giant attraction with like 16000 incandescent light bulbs burning all year 'round, on top of our "mountain" (actually, really big hill.) Totally and completely forgot.
In my defense, I was doped up on Nyquil which seems to take about 24 hours to leave my system. The best cure for sickness along with Nyquil and soup is to watch at least two Law & Order episodes while covered with a Hello Kitty fleece blankie. It worked.
Yesterday at the coffee shop I was talking about movies with my doppelganger (we both showed up at work wearing black CBGB t-shirts - dork alert! It wasn't even my t-shirt, just one I grabbed from Salty D's clean laundry basket) we were swooning over Tommy Lee Jones and how we think he's a hot older man.
The shop owner heard our conversation and said something like, "Ew! Are you kidding me?"
"No, I'm not kidding," I said, "I also totally dig Harvey Keitel, Christopher Walken..."
"Is it a bad complexion thing?" he asked.
"Ummm...NO! - oh! Ray Liotta too. Yeah, you're right, it must be a bad complexion thing."
The skies turned that creepy green color they get when there are tornadoes and hailstorms happening around us and we watched ping-pong (oh sorry, I mean, table tennis) balls drop from the sky.
I watched Jim Gaffigan's new King Baby and even though I didn't laugh-until-I-cried like when he does the Hot Pockets bit, it was a solid hour of giggles. And, he's brilliantly using Twitter and Facebook to ramp up his fans - that was actually the first place I heard about the new material. Now I'll never think about bacon or bowling the same way again - not that my opinions of bowling differed at all from his, I just won't be able to get him out of my head next time I bowl, whenever that will be.
A couple of girl-friends wanted to start up a bowling league of their own. One of the girls' husbands is on this exclusive gay all-guy league so in retaliation she wants to start her own. So far we have three girls and a guy who are going to bowl. First the girls said "every Tuesday night." and I was like ARE YOU CRAZY? Let's shoot for once or twice a month.
That was two months ago and we haven't bowled yet, mostly because we can't come up with a name for our league and nobody has the time to coordinate which lanes to visit. If you can help with that I'd sure appreciate it.
I lovvvvved KING BABY beyond words! Beyond the Pale if you will. I just got the CD from Target and I'm in heaven b/c it has 30 minutes of stand-up not seen in the what will surely be classic stand-up special. I HIGHLY recommend getting KING BABY. We are living in a golden age of comedy.

Is it actually possible for Gaffigan to surpass his hilarious "Beyond the Pale"?? The answer is yes! "King Baby" was awesome! I've never appreciate bacon more than I do now, thanks to Gaffigan. I have my glorious "King Baby" DVD already. Just bought it, can't wait to watch it over and over. If you know what funny is, get this DVD you won't stop laughing, I still can't!
