weekend recap

Yes, kiddies, here is your weekend recap. This weekend was fun, but wasn't anything hugely (is that a word?) exciting, so you get a little bit of recap and a little bit of my random thoughts. Enjoy.

Okay, well first of all, I should tell you this was a weekend of firsts (or at least firsts in awhile). I went to my FIRST ever comedy club on Friday, which was so much fun!!! If you can find a place around you that offers free tickets and lots of laughs, I vote you give it a try. This was also the FIRST Saturday I've worked in a loooong time. I had forgotten how early the 5am alarm comes! It probably doesn't help to stay out until 2am the night before, but that's a whole different story... And lastly, this was the FIRST Sunday in about a year and a half that I went to church in Virginia Beach. It was kind of odd too, because when Steph brought up the idea, it was something I had been thinking of anyway. Plus, it would be nice to meet some new people, as long as they're Christians as in us rather than in, say, the Grover sense. We shall see. Either way, my Mom would be proud. Anyway, the rest of the weekend was spent working, shopping, brunching, gymming, and otherwise vegging. Sunday night, though, was a little lacking due to the absence of Desperate Housewives this week. booooooo(l) :)

Okay now a few other issues, in the form of a couple of rants. FIRST of all, did anyone watch Ken Jennings lose on Jeopardy this week? Well, I saw it, and I was absolutely appalled that the question he lost on was so ridiculously easy! I mean really. And then I wondered-- WHY has no one else made the connection between Ken Jennings and the 1950's Twenty One scandal???? Has anyone else seen Quiz Show? Now, I know a few people have made the connection, but it is all just a little too coincidental to only bring up only a few nods on Google and no major articles. This link was the only focused one I found! Not that I have any real data to back any of this up, but I think it's worth looking into. I mean c'mon-- the perfectly loveable contestant that just keeps winning and winning, leading to better and better ratings for Jeopardy and a national phenomenon, who finally overstays his welcome and loses on an EASY question? Anyway, for now I will shut up about this, but I may be back. :)

Okay next rant: WHY can't there be EAGLES games on in VA BEACH???? Now I know they are not exactly the local team, but there is actually a large following here. And plus, football is such a popular sport this time of year, why not televise an extra game or two? I am really annoyed that for two weeks I have not been able to watch a game. But, I'm more annoyed at the replacements: last week's Minnesota vs. Jacksonville (who the F cares?!) and this week's only game in the 4:00 slot: Washington vs. New York (YAWN!) Yes, I know Washington is for some reason considered the hometown team, but still! grrrrrr. Luckily, Philly easily won 47-17, so I guess I am okay with missing this one. Probably wasn't that great a game anyway.

In other news, work is both good and bad right now. One one hand, I have an absolutely fantastic and ridiculously loyal team, but does that become a bad thing when they start telling other supes how things are done with us and why they should be done that way? I am a little worried about this one. They are all absolutely fantastic, but I am somehow worried that I have created some monsters... We'll see. In other news, I may finally have some good schedule news! I won't share yet though, because nothing is anywhere near set in stone, so for now it's just a lot of wishing and hoping.

Anyway, as a last note, since tonight's word of the post is "FIRST," I was trying to find my favorite ever Far Side comic to share with all of you on the subject. But, then I remembered Gary Larson getting pissed and going after everyone that had his comics posted online, so I couldn't find it. oh well. so, I guess I'll just end here. hehehe. gnight all!
