Hello, Friends. Happy New Year! Here’s to a great 2009….
December 2008
WatchRivers Cuomo covering Don’t Worry Baby with an a cappella group from Dartmouth College, the Dartmouth Aires, on his Stereogum Decomposed session. The video ends a little awkwardly, but at least they seem happy with the performance. It’s a fun version of the classic tune.
CAFETERIA J.D. anxiously sits across from Elliot.
Elliot: [laughs her head off, then finally...] No. Oh, what’s the matter, J.D., freezer got your tongue?
J.D.: That doesn’t even make any sense!
Elliot: So’s your face!
J.D.’s Thoughts: Dammit! Walked into that one!
I enjoy watching Steve Carell sing and dance. Especially with Will Ferrell, Rainn Wilson, Paul Rudd, and Stephen Colbert (as well as many others). I don’t so much enjoy seeing him sing and dance with Dane Cook though. Yep, I got sucked into Dan in Real Life tonight. I was pleasantly surprised that Dane Cook didn’t break out the super finger after he punched Steve Carell in the...

From an article about Scrubs moving to ABC:
“Attentive viewers may notice some other changes. Mr. Lawrence said a popular character nicknamed the Todd is no longer allowed to wear the thong-style swimsuit he occasionally wore on NBC.
‘That was an actual edict from the head of standards at Disney,’ he said.”
(via nytimes)
He said edict!
Sure did. Bill Lawrence, everybody! ...

Tonight I watched three episodes of The Cosby Show and just finished my first of two back-to-back episodes of Scrubs on TV Land. Awesome. All I need now is a box of pudding pops. I could really go for one of the chocolate / vanilla swirls.
It was a very quiet day in the office. Most of the productions are on hiatus and many of my colleagues took off this week. Today was my only official day in so I thought it would be a good day to clean my desk and organize my email. When I got here I found out that my Entourage was down. My tech worked on it all day, but it turns out that it’s in need of some major assistance (hope it...
Someone just played Rehab on the jukebox in the bar downstairs. I couldn’t quite make out the song when it started to play. Through my floor and windows the initial drumline sounded like the percussion demo from my old Casio keyboard.

I finally made it to the gym this weekend. After working out I decided to sit for a while in the sauna. It was quite pleasant, relaxing, and detoxifying. At least that’s what they say. I don’t really know how many toxins fled from my body but I do know that I sweat out about a glass of whiskey, a couple snifters of brandy and port, and the delicious Five Guys burger I had for...
This year I bought lots of hats as gifts for my family and friends. I can’t explain why I bought them except that I got into a hat kick and decided to buy everybody something they can wear on their heads. I think it turned out to be a pretty good move. No matter where they live, people seem to like hats. I say that because a good portion of the people I bought hats for live where...
The La’s - There She Goes
Simple and sweet.
WatchBen Folds & Inara George covering Nobody Does It Better on Jimmy Kimmel. A very sweet version of the Carly Simon classic, the guy playing the saw is pretty awesome.
Instead of going to the gym and dropping off my dry cleaning, I just sat through an episode of American Idol Rewind. I never watch the show live so why did I sit through the Rewind show? I have no idea, but I now have a craving for karaoke, k-town, and fireworks. I need a nap.
I recently discovered coconut water. According to the back of the Harvest Bay coconut water box, this water is “Nature’s hidden secret to hydration!” Bonus! It’s not only tasty, light, and refreshing, but it’s good for you too. I also like that it comes in a box. One might say that a box of coconut water is the adult version of a kid’s juice box. ...

Back home in Clifton, I finished wrapping the last Christmas gift about an hour ago. After placing the gifts under the tree I marveled at the awesomess of said tree. My pops really outdid himself this year. The tree isn’t super tall or angular anything. Quite the opposite actually. It’s of medium height and really round with a pointed top - kind of like a green ornament with...

The Ting Tings...
The South Park episode where the boys build the ladder to heaven was on late last night. If I ever tried to build a ladder to heaven I’d probably only get a couple stories up. I’m not that handy and I’m kinda scared of heights. It’s actually more a fear of falling and I wouldn’t want to fall that far from the ground. It would probably be hard to build and climb up...
Late night TV choices: Poker After Dark or The Jeffersons. I’m going with The Jeffersons. It’s a Christmas episode and (spoiler alert!) Jenny and Lionel just got married. Hooray!

Some favorite snowmen:
Frosty
The snowman from Raymond Brigg’s book (great movie too)
Burl Ives
WatchAmy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, and Kristen Wiig singing a love song to Santa. A classic Christmas SNL cold open. Needless to say, I’m quite jealous of the man in red.
It’s 1a and I’m starving. I should just go to sleep but I’m afraid I might eat my comforter. That wouldn’t be a good thing. I’m sure it’s really dry and would probably need lots of salt.

Sunday Night...
Isn’t it great when you find treasure in your pockets? The other day I found $6 in one of my jeans’ pockets. And last week at work I found a bacon band-aid in a pocket of one of my cardigans. The money soon found it’s way into my wallet. I think I spent it on dinner. The band-aid I placed back into the pocket. It was a pleasant surprise (I started to crack up in the middle...

Rick: Good times last night, but I'm paying for it today.
Me: I just woke up and my head is screaming at me.
Rick: I blame you.
Me: I blame Mr. Whiskey.
Rick: I hate him.
Me: But he's so damn smooth.
Earlier at the Gap I saw this kid dancing in the staircase. Frank sang as this kid danced down the stairs. It felt like a movie. The kids was smiling. His dad was ecstatic. And it was awesome. The joy in the air was incredible. The kid was proud of his moves. His Dad was even more impressed. Honestly, it was one of the best things I have ever seen. I just hope his Mom saw it. It was...
