It is,however, my first full day off in 2 weeks (and I'm not patting myself on the back for that one...I'm an idiot). I stayed up late watching an $0.88 movie (to be honest I slept through most of it). The kids are playing the Wii. My wife is out for coffee. I spent most of the morning at Improv Everywhere (some very funny stuff).
Funniest quote of the day will go to Matthew Good who was describing one of his teenage jobs at a fine dining establishement:
First, there was Bonanza, an interesting establishment that tried to cross fast-food with grilled steak, the result of which probably kept the local hospital busy with food poisoning cases.
Why does this strike me as funny? I loved Bonanza. I remember visiting Regina in years gone by where I would team-up with Brad to try and get our wives to join us for a meal at Bonanza. I believe somebody got sick one year from eating there, but I'm fuzzy on the details. Then again, it seems that most people who have ever eaten at Bonanza have gotten sick. Except for me.
Other random observations of the day:
- Bryan Adams is still making music
- GI Joe will be a movie. And this is Snake Eyes. Cool.
- This video cracked me up more than most.
- Yay for bubblewrap.
- I'm currently reading Clapton: The Autobiography
- I am now losing the reading contest...but my wife doesn't play by the rules.
