Holiday Priorities: Christmas Displays, Website Postings, or Porn and the Computer Industry.
By:
The Dude on the Right
I seem to have painted myself into a dilemma corner of prioritizing. It's
early Saturday evening and I've recently gotten back from visiting the old
country and an interesting Capon Day holiday. I would say Turkey Day, but
instead of turkey for Thanksgiving, Mom decided to revert to the old days when
we always had a capon for Thanksgiving instead of turkey. Back in those
days turkeys tended to come out very dry, or at least I think I remember that is
what Mom told us, so we had capon instead. We didn't care that a capon was a
castrated rooster, mostly, maybe, because we didn't really know what a capon
really was, but it was always tasty and moist, like chicken (duh). Then,
for whatever reason (I guess man perfected the turkey so that when cooked, it
was juicy instead of dry), we switched to turkey. And for the past bunch
of years, turkey was the meal, and I always butchered the shit out of it while
trying to do my best at carving. This year my butchering the shit out of
the capon was no different than my butchering of our turkeys, although the capon
seemed to come out a hell of a lot more greasy than juicy than I remember.
But that's not having anything to do with my dilemma of prioritizing...
My dilemma of prioritizing comes because of things like this:
- Stu wanted me to take a picture while I was at home, sort of a homework assignment, and instead of one I took a few, all having to do with this picture at the right. Now I'm supposed to write a blog about my photos. But when?
- I would like to get in the Christmas spirit by getting my display and tree put up, but do I do that and sacrifice postings to Entertainment Ave!?
- I would really like to do some cleaning around the Dude-Pad.
- I have to do some Christmas shopping.
- My movie-viewing is all screwed up because of both Thanksgiving Day weekend and this upcoming weekend when some of my friends are having a Christmas Party Weekend.
- I came up with a blog idea about a funny story at home this past weekend.
- I also came up with a blog idea about porn and the computer industry, over 25 years old.
- I also came up with a blog idea about when you play a "bad photo" trump card.
- I also have some consulting work to do before the end of the year.
- And Lord knows with everything else getting in the way, I'm wondering when I'm going to find the time to catch up on my TV watching.
- And, oh yea, I have a blog about how I'm a bad Uncle.
- And, oh yea again, there are the Chicago Bears to watch.
So many things to do, so little time, and that's not even bringing up the fact of trying to write a review of "The Pick of Destiny," let alone doing a Stu & The Dude Movie Review of the movie, nor I have a couple of new CD's to review.
November and December are so complicated. I just don't know where to start.
That's it for this one! I'm The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!
