Well, dear readers, here it is, post-Thanksgiving, and I do not feel like a bloated water buffalo so perhaps, even though I strayed from the Eileen and Chet Atkins diet, I didn’t stray too far. I did eat a whole lot of turkey, but that was allowed. As to the stuff that wasn’t, with the exception of two helpings of creamed corn (which wasn’t that bad in terms of sugar) and a half a yam, and the rather large piece of coconut cake, I was a good soldier.
After dinner David showed everyone part of the segment I’ve been cutting (a little hidden camera shoot he directed) and I must say it got howls of laughter. The whole evening was very nice indeed, and there weren’t too too many people there, which is what I prefer in dinner parties. After we finished, we all got to tell what we were thankful for. This morning, Luckie was thoughtful enough to let me sleep in.
I watched the most recent The Sopranos last night and it wasn’t as good as the week before, which was one of the greats. It was still better than ninety percent of what’s on television, though, and I’m looking forward to the final two episodes of the season which are coming up in short order.
Well, why don’t we all cliquez vouz on ze Unseemly Button below, so we can get to ze next section. Mais oui? We may – oh, a Stephen Sondheim reference.
Did anyone notice how these here notes suddenly took a French turn in that last section? The French turn came out of the blue. It tried to come out of the orange but the orange wasn’t having any of it. Ah, well, now we shall have to continue en Francais. For example, today ze skies are gray, hence it may pluis, in which case I shall need my parapluis. Oui. Oui oui. Oui oui oui (that is trois ouis). I have now pretty much exhausted my knowledge of the French language, but that shall not stop me, oh, non, that shall not stop moi.
For example, I can say with a certaintly that Luckie is not a chat. I don’t mean a chat in terms of our Unseemly Live Chats, I mean a chat as in cat. Aren’t I so French today? Why, if I wasn’t on this fershluganah Eileen and Chet Atkins diet I might even make some French toast. Oh, and speaking of Live Chat, this week’s is on Sunday, at six p.m. Pacific Mean Time. Tomorrow, if I can figure one out, we shall have an Unseemly Trivia Contest, too, and of course, Donald will have a brand spanking new radio show up as well. Things are a hoppin’ and a boppin’ here at haineshisway.com, which is bon.
C’est moi, c’est moi, I’m forced to agree – oh, a Lerner and Loewe reference, en Francais. Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must run errands and then errands must run me, I must write until the cows come home, I must eat the proper foodstuffs and I must walk the non-chat known as Luckie. Perhaps I’ll watch a film of Jacques Demy or Francois Truffaut in honor of the French turn these here notes took. Today’s topic of discussion: Since we did this last night and I enjoyed it so much – what are you thankful for on this post-Thanksgiving day? Let’s have lots of post-Thanksgiving day posts, shall we?
