What is the deal with Matt Lauer? Is he trying to do serious news on the Today show? Is he the straight-man to everyone else? The other day they did a story on dodgeball. The crew threw balls at the talking heads. Matt’s response: “Nice”. This morning while outside hyping Counting Crows (Adam–the hair was awesome) he refused to wear Shrek ears (although who can blame him) but he barked to the substitute weatherperson to just read the weather. I can only imagine after every show he goes to his office and wonders when cold-hard news will return to morning television.
The movie 28 Days Later was pretty good. I watched it last night and found it to be much better than the typical zombie movie and I think that fact had a lot to do with the fact there were no actual zombies in the movie.
Tonight we’re having what the acronym-loving better-half likes to call TSPV. No, that’s not kinky freaky sex but “Top Secret Polly Visit”. His aunt is coming over for dinner and she’s going to spend the night. We’re pretty psyched about it because Polly is one cool woman. The Top Secret part is that we aren’t telling the MIL because she’d break out with a fit of jealousy. Polly and the better-half actually made plans over the phone to expressly not tell the MIL so it is a Top Secret Visit all around.
I read in the NuYawkThymes yesterday that some people have a real addiction to their blogs. One guy hid in the hotel bathroom while on vacation with his wife so he could blog. She caught him on the john with the laptop over his knees. I think possibly he was on a p0rn site and just used his blog as an excuse but who can know for sure. Anyway, I’ve decided to not blog over this holiday weekend. I’m sure you’ll be sad and dismayed by this information. All 1 of you.
I will have lots to report on Tuesday. Because we’re going to a surprise 50th birthday party for the better-half’s uncle. Because we may sleep on the porch this weekend since finally it isn’t going to be hazy, hot and humid. Because our friends R&J are getting married on June 1st (if Massachusetts doesn’t cop out to peer pressure). Because I will have all kinds of keen observations to pass on.
Please enjoy your long weekend.
