DAILY DOSE: "You and I, We'll Fly Home"
Some randomation from my drive home with My Chemical Romance's "Headfirst for Halos" stuck in my head:
-As much as I love "Christmas Time is Here" by Alvin & the Chipmunks, and as much as pretty much adore any lyric-less version of "Carol of the Bells," THREE Pittsburgh-area radio stations playing nothing but Christmas songs all month has gotten to be a little much.
-Nothing of consequence happened today, but it may have been one of the best days of work yet. I tackeld a complicated research problem, got some help from a great attorney, figured it out, made a guess, turned out to be right, and also had a bunch of randomly good moments with people in the office. Thoroughly Enjoyable Day.
-December 13, and I'm 97% done with my Christmas shopping. It's a Brave New Knipper, folks.
-I'm already sick of winter.
-I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the incredible luck the Stillers had Sunday, what with the Chiefs and Chargers both losing games that, on paper, they should've walked away with. It's about time.
-Reason number 348 why I love Pittsburgh: standing in a Dick's Sporting Goods watching the end of Cowboys/Cheifs with a half-dozen random Yinzers, and every Tom, Dick, and Harriet, and their kids, in the entire store, totally understood the playoff ramifications of the situation.
-Boo to whoever decided to charge Fifty Bucks for a screen-printed PSU-Orange Bowl sweatshirt.
-Paul Posluzny- Be. My. Dad.
-Standing on the bus from D'ahn T'ahn to Crafton sucks.
-We're quickly approaching my first ever Office Christmas Party. Someone please call me Saturday and remind me to behave myself. I am, after all, the new kid.
-Watched two movies over the weekend:
1) The Wizard of Oz. -- Good flick. If you've not seen it, check it out. Anyone remember "Return to Oz?" the one with the Wheelers and Tick Tock and that Jack Skellington guy... scary. frakkin'. movie. I don't remember if it's good or not.
2) Mr. & Mrs. Smith -- Totally entertaining mindless shoot-'em-up. Angelina Jolie, who normally I find hot, but not attractive-- was both. If you don't understand the difference, let me know, I'll go into detail.
-All girls still look cute in scarves.
-22 Days until Season 2 1/2 of Galactica- you DAMN right I'm excited. KLE- have you gotten your hands on the "Official Companion" yet? Good stuff.
And FINALLY:
It's high time I give praise to the wonder that is Breugger's Bagels. Not only does their breakfast sandwhiches give Sheetz a run for its money (and dare I say it: Bacon/egg/meunster on a meunster bagel beats anything Sheetz makes) the best fast-food sandwhich I've ever had is the consistently great Cuban Chicken Sandwhich on a Asiago/Parmesan Softwhich. Like the NBA, it's FAN-tastic. We're talkin grilled chicken, Swiss cheese, ham, chipotle sauce, dijon mustard all on a softwhcih bagel. Get your pickle on the side, and live it up for 6 bucks. It's better than anything you'll get under the Arches, at Arby's or at Subway. Trust a Brother.
and with that, I leave you.
I know it wasn't earth-shattering, but it was a post nonetheless.
peace out, homies.
