RIP Richard Pryor [link]
Oh, that is sad.
oof, long day today. I got to the hotel in Phoenix just after a huge rush of people, so I didn't get checked in and in bed until close to 1:30 last night, then I got up and on the road for the two and a half hour two hour drive (this is me, after all) to Tucson. Much shopping with Mom has happened since then, including a trip to Target where I found one of those Isaac tulle skirts Betsy mentioned.
I did some Christmas shopping too.
Now to nap.
yeah, I still have not left the big comfy chair. and I am still watching Ellens. Yes folks, I had 11 episodes on my DVR. But given that I've seen 7.5 and have done that in 5 hours is pretty good. Thing is I am getting hungry, so I might have to stand up.
Can't you get someone to bring you food to your chair, msbelle?
the cats aren't that trained yet. It's ok, i had to get a phone call, so i got up anyway.
I'm shocked at myself...so much killing and I haven't weighed in.
I think Bunk on The Wire tried to kill a mouse with his police revolver once. He was very drunk and I don't think he got it.
RIP, Richard Pryor
David Boreanaz is getting Punk'd. Supposedly his wife cut her mouth on broken glass in her salad. He was so pissed at the waiter.
I liked that one. I like when you can tell they are freaking out, but they don't act badly.
There's a whole lot of Newcomb College and Tulane College tradition that they're getting rid of there.
That's a shame. And it is all the individual things that make a big disaster, you know?
I way overslept this morning, which turned out to be awesome. I still got to my noon meeting on time, AND got an extra hour of sleep. So it's all good.
That obit understates Richard Pryor's importance, I think. I think he's the greatest standup who ever lived, and one of the great comics in any medium. Absolute genius in his ability to dig into the pain of the human comedy, and utterly gifted at physical comedy/acting to express everything from a cheetah to a heart attack.
You know what makes me laugh? SantaCon: [link] also [link]
Oh, David, my annual request: any book recs for my cousin who I'm pretty sure is Emmett's age?
