And Happy New Year, too.

today, i heard a commercial for simon mall gift cards making fun of day of the week underwear. i had a pair when i was young, as most seven year olds do. the commercial was saying nobody would ever want day of the week underwear. i have to disagree. usually it is about 2:30 pm when i realize what day it is. if i had this life-changing undergarment, maybe…just maybe…i’d be a little more clued in, a little earlier in the morning.

would you wear them?

What’s your favorite Christmas tune?

Your favorite Christmas movie is………?

Today was a very Christmasy day.? I played with my twinkly Christmas lights widget.? I bought Bing Crosby’s White Christmas CD on iTunes.? I had a Peppermint Mocha Frappucino (it was rather warm out after walking to Starbucks).? I got a Christmas bonus from work in the mail and an invite to a Christmas party.? Just to let you know, you’re going to get really sick of hearing about Christmas because between now and then, it’s pretty much all I’m gonna write about. :)

I need your grace to remind me to find my own. (SP)

Please take the thirty seconds necessary to skim through this review of Tenacious D ? The Pick of Destiny. I am trying to save you from wasting 90 minutes of your precious life. In fact, this introduction in itself should keep you away from this movie. At this moment, if you are convinced not to see this movie, please move on to the next meaningful thing in your life. I refuse to let this movie even indirectly (via means of this review) steal away the sand in your hourglass.

If you are still thinking of seeing this movie, let me take a clear approach and encourage you by one simple word:

Don?t.

Jack Black is funny, yes. Nacho Libre, School of Rock ? all favorites of mine. I laughed and talked about and quoted them for weeks and months after seeing them. However, when Jack Black partnered with his Tenacious D buddy Kyle Gass on The Pick of Destiny, a strange reaction occurred that removed all humor and intelligence and wit from this film. I have been thinking on this movie for the last 10 days and still have not found words dumb enough to describe the complete disaster this movie ends up being. The plot is simple ? Jack and Kyle are on a search for the Pick of Destiny which will turn them into the most amazing rock stars ever. That is really all the plot entails.

I highly recommend you participate in one of the following events that will be a much better use of your time than seeing this movie:

• Help the Fall season along by climbing the tree in your front yard and plucking each and every leaf off. Watch each one fall to the ground slowly.

• Polish your mother?s silverware for Thanksgiving. Seven times.

• Speaking of Thanksgiving, try roasting your turkey with a lighter.

• Knit a scarf or two. For each member of The Rockettes. They always look cold.

Please. Save your 90 minutes. I give this movie a 0.25 out of 5. And that is simply for the fact there were no typos in the credits.

i talked with a new friend about his upcoming project. (you will need to click into this post in order to view and click on the links – they won’t show up on the preview).? all the juicy details (and i do mean juicy) to come on thursday.

sometime saying i’m sorry isn’t enough. so i don’t say anything at all.

(and i HATE that.)
