I love the look on the guy's face in the Verizon commercial for the Red Hot something-or-other phone, wherein the 4 carolers go singing in front of this dude's house, and he comes out in his pajamas and all -- I just laugh at the reaction he gives, the little thin-lipped head-nod. I dunno why, I just love it.
Also, am watching the Jackie Moon commericals for Bud Light. "Bud Lite: Suck one." "CUUUUUUUUUUUUT!!!!!!"
I've got mixed feelings about Jimmy Fallon taking over for Conan O'Brien. On the one hand, I like him and I think he's hilarious, despite his Harvey Korman-like inability to keep a straight face throughout a single skit. I'm watching an old 2004 episode of SNL (Jennifer Aniston as guest host) and Tina Fey is just fan-fucking-tastic. Always liked her. Smart lady, despite the fact that she's clearly an ardent Hillary supporter. We all have our flaws.
My friend Niki mentioned the show "The Soup" awhile back, and tonight I watched it for the 2nd time. All I can say is, thank you SO MUCH for turning me onto this! Is this the same thing that used to be "Talk Soup" back when I was a freshman in college (which was 1996, and the first time I had access to cable TV, since the Family Formerly Known As The Helmeses of Canarsie refused to pay for any clear TV channels when they got 5 perfectly good fuzzy channels for free)? I love it! I also love "Chelsea Lately," which airs after the Soup. High-larious! And then I watched "Fatherhood" with Snoop Dogg again. Wow. He's so freakin' funny... and I'm actually totally serious when I say that. I know, right? I'd never have guessed it, either. But now they're advertising some Denise Richards show that's produced by, of all people, Ryan Seacrest (who's been theoretically tapped by Larry King to take over? Did I hear that right? Doth mine ears deceive me?), and then this whole Looney with Lohan show, or whateverthehell it's going to be... that's a waste of airtime if ever I've seen one. Mother of the year my ass.
Watched the Today show that I'd DVRd yesterday, and made poor Jason sit through it with me. The OGITC cleaned up rahter well, and Danny most notably looks better. Yup, I said it. Even more notable, however, is that I think 4 of them said they have CHILDREN! And Joey McIntyre is definitely married. And none of those things were ever supposed to happen. Boo to getting older. But yaay! to singing the Hangin' Tough/Step By Step/Please Don't Go Girl/Right Stuff medley -- dancing and all (it took balls. Ten of them, to be exact). Tip of the hat to singing "Tonight, Tonight" as the finale. Wag of the finger to the backup dancers who, at the height of the NKOTB's popularity, were ZYGOTES.
After this morning's performance at the cemetery (aka the Rave at the Grave), I came home and did a little minor cleaning around the house... then Jason came home from his buddy Dave's (they were working on Dave's car), and took what was supposed to be a short nap. After making myself a little lunch, I snuggled up next to him for what was also supposed to be a short nap. 4 hours later, we groggily woke up and could not BELIEVE how long we'd slept! It's so rare that we take a nap on a weekend anyway (and never on a weekday, obvs), but wow. It felt amazing. And now, for some reason, I'm tired again, so I'm off to bed.
Next time, I'll have to write about the Rave at the Grave -- which, predictably, didn't have nearly the turnout (about 7 people) as the Resucsitation of the NKOTB (about 7 trillion people -- 6,999,999,999,997 women and 3 gay men).
