Yesterday I went out to lunch with my buddy Mike and his family, upholding sacred Jewish traditions by going out for Chinese food. I don’t know if the new Chinatown in Portland (down on SE 82nd) was open, but all the restaurants I saw in the old Chinatown were open. We went to Powell’s as well, where I got to read two books to his son. The books weren’t as bad as I’d feared, at least not the ones from the “magic bus” series.<\/p>\n
After I got home I watched my triplet of Xmas movies, Comfort and Joy<\/b>, A Christmas Carol<\/b>, and Love Actually<\/b>. I think Love Actually<\/b> is the only romantic comedy I have since I gave Next Stop Wonderland<\/b> to my ex. I may have to buy another copy of that movie. Of course, I have Top Gun<\/b> which might actually be a homoerotic romantic comedy, but I hardly ever watch that even though it was one of the first DVDs I ever bought. (Blade<\/b> was the first.)<\/p>\n
Today I went to the gym and watched football. I think I had some other things I wanted to do, but I thought I was coming down with a cold yesterday and I figured napping and being lazy didn’t require more excuses than that. I also caught up on the episodes of Cougar Town<\/b>. After Courtney told me it was funny I started looking for episodes and then Sean told me I had to start watching. I actually think it was worth it. Now to see if Parks and Recreation<\/b> (Sean and Il’s suggestion), and Community<\/b> (Sean’s suggestion), are also worth watching.<\/p>\n
I also seem to have killed my bottle of Laphroaig in the past two days. It is one of my favorites, but I had Aardbeg a few times and wonder if that won’t be even higher on my list. I’ll have to get a bottle to make sure.<\/p>\n
Today it seemed like I didn’t actually get a cold for Xmas. I only got one gift this year (besides all the cookies) and it was something from my janitorial job at the gym. Otherwise I got bupkis. I was going to make a point here, but I think the Laphroaig I had is limiting any more thoughts I could possibly have tonight. Andiamo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
