Entertainment Ave!

Yes, I admit, it’s been a while since my last blog.  It is, for me, that
time of year when the holidays seem to get in the way of consistency, but from
tonight until the Christmas/New Year’s time frame, I’ve got a couple of weeks of
trying to get back to normalcy, only to have it thrown out the window for a
couple of weeks at the end of December, and then comes January, the "New Year,"
when we are supposed to start again, come up with new goals, and screw them up
within about a week.

Such is life, except my last week.

My last week of not
getting things posted was about seeing friends, and isn’t that what the Holiday
Season is about?  Now, because it is a Sunday evening after a long, weekend
reunionish thing, I’m just trying to get back into the swing of things, and I
will list a bunch of topics that I may not revisit, which seems to bug the crap
out of my sister, who still wants me to explain the resolution of
my
mom’s issues in buying a new microwave.  So, here we go, with some
topics from this past weekend which will probably fall by the wayside.  If
you would really like an explanation, use the comment link at the end of this
blog, and maybe those might get to a higher priority of explanation.  So
here’s some things from my last week:

–  I met someone who might be the
great or just grandson of Colonel Sanders in an elevator.  He was wearing a
nice skull-cap and had a very cute dudette with him (I hope this doesn’t get him
in trouble if it wasn’t him, or if it was him, and his normal dudette wasn’t
with him in Chicago last weekend, well, hell, I don’t know, like I said, it
might be the great or just grandson of Colonel Sanders, or just some dude with a
skull-cap with a very cute dudette).  She was skittish about being in an
elevator, and he liked to joke around by faking jumping up and down in said
elevator.  As do a lot of my other friends.  But not me.  We all
survived the elevator ride.

–  The reason I might have met the great or
just grandson of Colonel Sanders is because of dude named Lonnie, who seems to
know about everyone, or has one of the smallest degrees of separation I have
ever encountered.  Kevin Bacon might have six degrees of separation, but
Lonnie seems to have about two or three.  And that now includes some rugby
team members.

–  Tequilya:  Is that a good or bad way to start a
weekend of being with friends?  And Karen, or maybe it was Caron, or maybe
it was Carin.  All I know is she had a fantastic smile and nice boobs.

– 
Farmers vs. Dudettes in Short Skirts:  Who is sticky-shocked?

–  A
friend of ours got married, and no one seemed to know it.  It was a small
ceremony, only family, so should your life-long friends, or just people you now
just seem to know, feel slighted that they weren’t invited to the ceremony? 
I say, "No," but someone else I know says they should have been invited.  I
just hope my pledge-bro is happy, and like the heathen I am, I wouldn’t have
made the ceremony anyways.

–  Should smoking be banned from bars and
restaurants, or should you at least voice your objection to people you know whom
you wish wouldn’t smoke?

–  If you were in a bar, and really, really,
really, really, wanted to hear a song, would you drop three bucks into a virtual
jukebox to get it to the head of the line. (I have my answer.)

For those of
you out there in internet land, if it were up to me I’d like to explain the
entire Colonel Sanders story, but if you you really want to know about "Farmers
vs. Dudettes in Short Skirts," that story is great, too.  At least if I
ever get to it.

In the end, I had a great time this "Holiday Weekend" with
friends.  I hope you do/did, too.

That’s it for this one!  I’m The Dude on the Right!!  L8R!!!

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.
