Thanksgiving and the Ice Age

So thanksgiving was this week. I think it went pretty well. Or pretty good, whatever one is proper English.

Here are some funny things.

I went to the Muppets movie with my sister and her family. It was a good movie, and very much like the TV show. Well worth the money (I didn't spend, since it was my sisters treat).

The other day (in fact, yesterday) I was at Fred Meyer with my sister. We weren't shopping at FM for "Black Friday", but because it's nice to sometimes just people watch. Of course, I ended up buying crap (including a present for my niece, who didn't want it).

As we were walking by the board games, I noticed "Scategories". So I mused "Sweet, a game about animal poop". There was some guy there who laughed and said he was upset that he didn't think of it. So I said he was welcome to take credit for it with his family. So if any of you had a father say that to you recently, it was because of me!

You're welcome.

I think it would be neat to take a week long (or maybe longer) trip around Oregon this summer. Although god knows I've talked about doing this EVERY summer for the last like 5. I think this summer though, I might actually do it. I have a tent, my car, a camera and hopefully gas won't be 5 bucks a gallon then.

Of course, hopefully my car will be starting by then...

Sounds like the NBA lockout has ended (and for those who are reading this months from now, the NBA was on a lockout in 2011). Although there are still a few hurdles to jump. But I just can't get myself that excited about it. I had secretly (well, not so secretly) hoped they cancelled the whole season. I actually haven't missed it at all. It afforded me the chance to fake giving a crap about other things.

I'll end on this.

Futurama was brought back. Family Guy was brought back. Mystery Science Theatre should be brought back too.
