Remember, several of you asked for it.
6. Much like K's problem with apples, I'll eat things with peanuts in them (brownies, Snicker bars, chewy granola bars), but I can't eat peanuts straight out of the can. Yech...
5. I have several CDs full of TV Theme Songs, that I sing along with, memorize, and can recite word for word, note for note. Yet it took me ____ to pass the stupid bar exam, which is just a big memorization exercise. Which is why when I put regulations and policies to theme songs, I passed. True story.
4. I can listen to a single song all day long and never get tired of it.
3. I love commercials. Sometimes, after we've watched a program on Tivo and finished it, and a certain someone goes to do something else, I'll watch the show again, but watch the commercials and speed through the show.
2. I secretly act like my life is a TV show, complete with where cameras would be, who would appear during the main title as opposed to after the main title (in the Special Guest Star portions), and what would be good cliffhangers.
1. I always read the manual for anything that I get that has a manual...and more than once.

All Good
After tomorrow, we may not get a chance to talk for awhile, as the Boys and Girls are coming back, so I'm thinking tomorrow should be another "List Day", 'cause I love me some lists!
And it gets you up on my current faves, likes, dislikes, etc...so come back tomorrow, gawk at my answers and fill your own in.
Everybody's gonna do it.

I saw a Metro bus this morning that had "Scrumptilious" on the side, and it was all brown, as if to appear like a giant Snickers bar.
Unfortunately, it looks like something else, which I don't think they were aiming for...

A Tale of Two Churches
Have you ever been the only one dressed up in a suit on Sunday Morning? I have.
Have you ever been the only one not dressed up in a suit on Sunday Morning? Just had that pleasure too.
Hope your Thanksgiving was as full of surprises as mine!

Child's Play
The Child in Me is not giving up without a fight.
He's been under wraps this week while the 33 (oh man, I forgot I'm 33 for the last post!) year old has been "taking care of bizness" on the H. It's been long hours, but thanks to the graciousness of some family friends, I've been walking to work. I've kidded that maybe I should consider Manassas as my weekend home and live out here...
The adult Me has enjoyed several perks this week that the Child is not amused with...such as, being called "Sir"...and liking it...
Seeing a stroller at Union Station and making a mental note of it...for when the time for such an item is needed...
Having an amazing Samsung LCD TV for his own personal use this week to relax with...and turning on the captions, to feel more at home...(that's not a sign of being old, but I thought a certain someone out there might think that was cute)
The Child is feeling snubbed, and like I said, is beginning to act up. The Child desparately wants to find a line tomorrow night and stay up with the teens and Dads that can't say no to little Johnny, in the fleeting hopes of buying a PS3...
The Child almost hopped on the Metro to go see Borat at the theatre and then eat an entire Matchbox pizza by himself, but was persuaded to go play a 9pm soccer game...no clear thinking adult would have done either, mind you...
So with all this "being an adult" behavior I've been going through, I expect the Child to throw a tantrum soon...he really wants to play PSP right now...but perhaps the Adult will read a couple of chapters in his book before that. Then maybe we'll hunt the Helghast on the planet Vekta for a couple of minutes.
PS. What would you camp out for?
I once camped out for tix to a Virginia Basketball game with some residents...turned out it was one of the best I ever attended. I did it for Madden 07, with some incentive from L, and I'd probably do it if the Fat Boys had a reunion tour (the "one of them is dead" thing would be pretty hard to get by though...)
Peace.

Thr33
I'm noticing alot of 3s these days.
This Friday, the Playstation 3 launches its assault on the world, and against the Xbox 360 in particular (at least they'll be plenty of Wiiis...)...
This Saturday, if you know what's good for you, put down your Sixaxis and turn that TV to ABC (three lettered network) for Ohio State vs. Michigan at 3:30...lovely!
This being Monday the 13th, I'm sad I've only got 3 Prison Breaks left, and 3 months til the return of LOST...
Three is the loneliest number, three's a crowd, three dog night...
In other news, there's a new Fantasy League that may be the shape of things to come...it's at Fantasysoapnet.com, where you have a team of Soap Opera characters that get points for getting slapped, staring into space, removing articles of clothing, etc...just the speed for those who aren't football junkies, or for "men" who have wives that know more about sports than they do.
This could be a great trend for our favorite shows, like a Serialized Series League, where you could have Jack Bauer, Sawyer, and Lorelai Gilmore on your team, and score points for their various antics...or Fantasy Church...where you can score points for the last person to leave, who remembers their bible, teen to show up in the most inappropriate outfit...
Fantasy Blogger? Hmm...well, tim3 for bed! Lat3rs!

The Votes Are In...
...in more ways than one. Thanks for all of you who have expressed your concerns, I know you're looking out for the Java, and the Java feels warm and fuzzy, just like he does as he is sipping his Gingerbread Latte (the Holiday flavors are back at Starbucks, get yo'self in the spirit of the season!) I'll be sure to let you know what the next chapter is for me, but it's not time to get ahead of ourselves, so no need to worry. If you really need to worry, worry about K-Fed, and how is CD got an F in Entertainment Weekly....the Gravy Train for him has definitely come to an end.
K-Fed. Playa.
Truth be told, you all had great ideas and expressed good thoughts about my GPs, and I will most likely do all 3, but according to the votes, it looks like I'll be taking DIY classes at Lowes...I'll let you know which ones I take, and marvel at what I learn once I apply it! Dirty hands, indeed!
Have a wonderful Thursday, those of you in the DC area, all I have to say is, 70 degrees y'all!

Your Vote Matters
Guilty Pleasures, we've all got them. But today, in honor of Election Day, I am going to give you the opportunity to vote on which one I will let go! This is as real as it gets, people, so let your voice be heard!
GP#1. Star Wars. Down in my own "Sithsonian," I've accumulated enough SW SWAG (stuff we all get) from all over the place, but this ride has gone on for about as far as it can go. Sadly. If you vote here, you are voting that I will take the top 21 items of my collection to keep, and EVERYTHING else will be sold or given good homes to collectors. 21, you say, that's an odd number? It's my fave, and from the proceeds, I'm thinking a pretty nice sound system can compliment my movie habit!
GP#2. American Idol. Every year from its beginning, I've given a lot of time to following the highs and lows of America's finest (and infamous) crooners! Much love goes out to Kelly, Ruben, Fantasia and a little to Carrie, who's got a bit of attitude...but her version of Alone still gives me goosebumps. Anyway, a vote to eradicate this GP will mean NO AMERICAN IDOL all season long, and only watching the last 30 minutes of the finals. (This same thing happened when I purged Survivor from life). You're thinking, this isn't hard...why bother? My answer is a (sheepishly) given, "I love this show, so much so that I am about to tell you something not many of you know...I have been to a concert." There you go, now you know how much of a sacrifice this will be.
GP#3 Not a DIYourselfer. I am not a do it yourselfer...I hate handy projects that have anything to do with hammers, glueing, toolbelts, almost anything that's not a gadget that you might find at a Home Depot or Lowe's. If it's not from Target or IKEA, I'm probably not going to get into doing it. I take great pride in not being interested in getting my hands dirty. But your vote to do away with this GP will bring a change. A vote here will mean I have to attend 3 classes at the aforementioned HP or Lowe's, and use the skill that I learn at one of the classes to better Stately Young Manor. This is going to be tough...if I had a choice to install a garage door opener or go to the dentist, I would go to the dentist. Seriously.
GP#4 Phil Collins. Easy Lover, In the Air Tonight, Something Happened on the Way to Heaven...on second thought, I'm taking this off the ballot. Sorry, I just can't give up PC.
Alright, polls close at midnight, and majority rules, no matter what. And you can only vote once!
ps. Make sure you vote for real, in the real election today.
pps. Almost scored in soccer last night, so close, baby! There were so many hands on me from the other team, I feel like I'm owed at least a couple of dinners.
