I am officially finished with Christmas shopping.
Now, all that’s left to do is pay off the resulting hole in my credit card statement. Still, it’s nice to get everything all squared away for now. Thanks for Mele, Jenn, Giahn, and anyone else who inadvertantly helped.
Next up on my tremendous chore list: Dora’s tattoo, our wedding website, anniversary on Saturday, getting a passport, and cleaning the bathroom.
OH, AND I TOTALLY SAW TENACIOUS D ON SUNDAY, thanks to Leina’ala incredibletude. They are showmen, and the concert is definitely entertaining…multiple sets, characters, all the best songs, and an acoustic cover of the Flash Gordon theme. It was pretty fascinating; thousands of kids singing along, doing air guitar, drinking…I feel as if the D may have become what they parodied for so long, which is sad. Thankfully, this element was offset by the appearance of the inimitable Neil Hamburger, an act so deeply misunderstood that it brought back our senses of Cool Cred. Neil was booed, loudly decried, and pelted with beer cups, but he still continued his intolerable act of extremely bad, long, offensive jokes. He dragged out a joke about Courtney Love (timely!) for about 6 minutes, demanding audience participation at each repetition of the setup.
“Why won’t Courtney Love be eating any CRANNNNNberry sauce with this year’s Christmas dinner? Why won’t she have any CRANNNNNNNNberry sauce to go with her glazed ham? Why is this? Why won’t the widow Love have any CRANNNNNNNNNNberry sauce to go with the feast on this, the holiest of days? Why won’t Courtney be eating any…what? That’s right, CRANNNNNNberry sauce, with the figgy pudding and warm apple cider with cinnamon sticks drifting in it? We won’t actress and singer Courtney Love, formerly of the band Hole, have any CRANNNNNNberry sauce paired with the Christmas treats of this holiday season? Why? Do you know why?”
“Becauuuuuuse…she’ll be dead by then. Of an overdose.”
GUY NEAR ME: “You suck!”
