love a man in tails

from tv guide online:
Box Office: Amazing Feet Bests James Bond
A group of penguins and one guy in an actual tuxedo set a box-office record this weekend. With No. 1 finisher Happy Feet taking in $42.3 million, and Casino Royale following closely with $40.6 mil, it marked the first time that two films have earned $40 mil-plus on a non holiday weekend.

GO OHIO STATE!

two jokes via my father today:

One day in an elementary school in Ann Arbor Michigan , a teacher asks her class if the Michigan Wolverines are their favorite football team. The whole class says yes except for Little Jimmy.

The teacher asks, "What's your favorite football team Jimmy?"

Little Jimmy says, "The Ohio State Buckeyes."

The teacher asks, "Well, why is that?"

Little Jimmy says, "Well, my dad is a Buckeye fan, my mom is a Buckeye fan, I guess that makes me a Buckeye fan."
The teacher angered by his reply says, "If your dad was a moron and your mom was
an idiot what would that make you?"

Little Jimmy says, "Well, I guess that would make me a Michigan fan."

and

Four college alumni were climbing a mountain one day: an Ohio State grad, a Michigan grad, a Penn State grad, and a Notre Dame grad. Each proclaimed to be the most loyal of all fans at their alma mater. As they climbed higher, they argued as to which one of them was the most loyal of all. They continued to argue all the way up the mountain, and finally as they reached the top, the Notre Dame grad hurled himself off the mountain, shouting "This is for the Fighting Irish!" as he fell to his doom. Not wanting to be out done, the Penn State grad threw himself off the mountain proclaiming, "This is for the Nittany Lions!" Seeing this the OSU grad walked over and shouted "This is for the Buckeyes!" and pushed the Wolverine off the side of the mountain.

Bill liked this one better than the first.

yelling

i don't know where or who but i can hear the echoed yelling of what sounds like a rowdy hide and go seek game. but this yelling has been going on for over an hour... no protest out the window, no march scheduled down my street, yet the yelling continues. i just want some peace and quiet so that this head ache leaves me.

weekend in review

Friday night:
we sloshed our wet selves over to pf changs for connie's b-day party. after waiting for 12 people in our party to appear the seatingnazi allowed us up to our table. food was great service totally not worth the 18% that is tacked on. The waiters know that they are going to get the 18% so they don't pay attention to the table at all. Bill's coke went un-refilled the entire night. The waiter tried to pass over frank in taking orders. And, in general they weren't on the floor if you needed them.

Cool thing... I saw a classmate from HB, actually she saw me. but really cool.

Saturday:
went to costco land of giant containers of food. walked out for under 100$ and that included the second season of lost.

Had lunch at the new rock bottom at yorktown. everyone liked their food. and the service was good.

Went shopping at the oc. that was not good. not good at all.

went to see stranger than fiction. good movie... cool to see the lasalle flowers shop cameo and some other familiar down town sites.

Sunday:
started prepping for the big turkeyfest. bought things that are needed for such festing like stuffing and cranberry jelly and pumpkin pie stuff and frenches onions.

made some ice cream... might have to toss said ice cream and try again.

made yummy pork tenderloin.

died of exhaustion.

cuppa tea?

some calm in the storm.
