And another thing

I had a few things I forgot to include in yesterday's blog. At the rate I put this stuff in I figured I'd forget about these seemingly important events if I didn't do it today. My little girl Izabella likes football. Not just watching it, but actually playing w/ her football. I was so proud of her even after I figured out why she likes her football. If she holds it in the middle and points the end towards her mouth, it looks and feels like a big breast. She may not get any milk from it, but years from now when we are getting ready for a big game I'll make sure I compare football to mother's milk.

I watched A Clay Aiken Christmas the other night. From the commercials I thought it might be that perfect holiday time combination of cheese and B-list celebrities (yes, those are two separate things). When I flipped it over there, the lady from Will and Grace who plays perpetually drunk Karen was singing some song. The baby was crying uncontrollably so I couldn't hear anything, but I would bet a million dollars she was lip synching. It also had Barry Manilow, who could be Clay's dad or uncle b/c you know Barry's kids can afford nose jobs, and a gospel singer named Yolanda. It was ok. They tried this break the 3rd wall stuff where you hear the director's cues to Clay and camera shots that include another camera and cameraman. Certainly revolutionary for an American Idol contestant, but I'd rather see Clay pretending to bake cookies in his pretend kitchen w/ the real life Tom Landry.

On the subject of not doing much other than watching tv, I was watching Fox News Saturday morning (actually this was while I was getting my car serviced, but still I couldn't avert my eyes). They were talking about the guy who shot "Dimebag" Darryl from Pantera/Damageplan. When they come back to the 3 hosts for Fox and Friends, the old white guy asks the young white girl if she knows what a dimebag is. She stammers and stutters while he matter of factly says "It's $10 of narcotics." The lady then says she thought it was $100 of narcotics, but claims she hasn't bought any narcotics in a while. I don't quite get why he brought this up. A guy was murdered while playing his music on stage. I don't care if he had been high since he was 16 years old. Let him rest in peace. These people probably never listened to Pantera/Damageplan, and more than likely they never even heard of them. Do you want the rest of the crew to think you're hip b/c you know some drug slang? It was just weird, but that's Fox News.

Finally, the most important tv news, my friends David and Sally Reich are going to be on the Dr. Phil Show. I think it has something to do w/ organizing your house, but I've watched enough of these shows to know that it could be some kind of crazy love child stuff that they are going to spring on Dave or Sally on the show. I can't wait.
