Che, that Thanksgiving was not only memorable for us, it was also memorable for Bill Corbett, the 2nd (and bitchier) Crow. He was watching it, discovered the program, wrote to them to say that he was a writer and was impressed by what they were doing. They started a correspondence and he ended up working for them! And becoming Crow no less!

You just never know what a Turkey Day Marathon will bring.

And yes, Heroes sucks ass this year. Fortunately, the producers know it sucks ass, and promised to wrap everything up before Xmas so that next year (provided the writer’s strike ends) it will be like season 3, not the second half of the shitty season 2.

I would love to have an all-day holiday of just watching MST3Ks (or their modern counterparts, The Film Crew and RiffTrax). Sitting around in comfy clothes with warm drinks, eating carbs and laughing my ass off. Perfect Day.

But, alas, it is not to be most of the time. Meh, could be worse. At least Richard’s fam are good guests and fun and not TOO demanding…

So glad KK is reading. Reading books like the Golden Compass is a very good thing too. The movie looks good from the previews I saw this weekend. I have to say that Nicole Kidman is great casting as the ice princess mother. I have to assume the others are great casting too. I like the witchy-woman on a broom (whose name I forget), or at least the graphics of her flying. Should be good. Definitely subversive, though I imagine they tamed down some of that for our bland stupid American audience.

I sure hope the christians make a big deal about boycotting the movie. That will surely raise the attendance.

I remember one Thanksgiving when Richard and I were distracted all day, for 24 hours straight. That was the MST3K marathon, of course. I mention that every Thanksgiving, because it was my most meaningful and memorable Thanksgiving.

Oh and KK is insisting we go see the Golden Compass movie, which I’m all for anyway. She dragged me into her room to see the commercial tonight, she was all excited about it. Hell, I’m just glad she’s reading. I was beginning to lose hope that she’d ever read.

You’re right about TV. Not many distractions there. Good thing cuz we have a lot of distractions getting ready for Thanksgiving, given that we’re hosting it. It’s usually a good time (overall), so I guess there will be some payoff, but still.

Glad the writing is going well. That’s a lot of writing!
