smacky and bucky

Tree's up! Here's a close up of one of the ornaments. Who does it belong to? Me or the wife?

Such excitement! Oh, no, not in my life. I'm just following the routine until Christmas is upon us. I'm talking about these folks:

• De wants to kill people on the radio, while drinking chocolate butch.
• Lauren makes me want to quote that old ad for women's cigarettes: "You've come a long way, baby."
• Kate was almost run over by the truck from Maximum Overdrive, and didn't even get the courtesy of a cameo from Emilio Estevez.
• Monstee, like De, has media rage. He (it?) wants to kill the ad agency execs that created the Coke commercial with the penguins and polar bears bonding over the Beach Boys and artificially colored sugar water.

We ended up getting about three inches of snow. Pretty, but not dangerous, unless you were determined to make it so (driving 30 on the highway, for example). Then the hazard was you, and not the weather.

Arrested Development was another classic last night. I'm hoping against hope Fox (or some other network) will save the show somehow. Hilarious but low-rated is a bitch position to be in. I'd like to see the DVD sales justify keeping it on the air, maybe at least long enough to get enough episodes for a syndication deal? That has to be on some execs' minds. Keep it on long enough to make some money back on it someday.
