You Don't Know Dick About Christmas!


The title of this post is what I’ve dubbed the new game my sister and I have been playing. My mom bought my sister Christmas trivia cards which are actually pretty fun except most of the answers are one of the following: Bob Hope, Bob Cratchit or The Lemondrop Kid.

Before my sister’s surgery I was asking her questions from the cards to distract her and the nurse asked if she was preparing to go on Jeopardy, which cracked me up.

In other news, I’m going to be on Red Eye on Saturday and I believe it’s going to be a special kind of episode.

But back to gameshows, I can’t understand Duel. And I don’t like melodramatic contestants.

Also, Tobey keeps throwing up.

Tobey it is!

Tobias Potato Rosen is the full name, although when I hold him a stream of names and jibberish starts coming out of my mouth, interspersed with the words puppy, baby and face, so basically I pick him up and then it’s “Tobey Puppy Potato Tobias Baby Face Puppy Tobey yes you are. Awwww…” If I werent so tired from the flight, I’d have lost all respect for myself. On the plane I watched Juno which made me cry a little, though it’s funny, and which I’d definitely recommend. I can’t even tell if I’m making sense anymore. I’m going to go stare at a puppy.

holiday movies

I’ll be doing a special segment airing tonight on Red Eye. Tune in or forever wonder what it was. (note: there may be some kind of hint somewhere around here)

Oh and also about the puppy: we’re thinking Tobey. Sorry Peter Paige!

Unnamed puppy's first night home


Last night my parents picked up the puppy. My sister and I called to hear how it went and my sister asked my mom to hold the phone up the the puppy so he could lick the phone. My mom said he didn’t know what to do with it. Not that I’m comparing this guy to Woofie, but Woofie would have known. Maybe not when he was a puppy though.

new puppy name

Emmett. What do you think? My sister and I are strongly supporting this choice. Perhaps because I hold a special place in my heart for Emmett Otter’s Jug-band Christmas. Also, Emmett from Queer as Folk.

Also, while talking a lot about Bob Saget this morning I found out that the Britney Spears biography I was interviewed for is airing Thursday at 9pm on the A&E Biography channel so if you get that channel, watch it!

Nerdy gripe

I just spent all this time importing clips only to go to play them and discover the audio was missing because I’d put the RCA cables in the output, not the input, because hey man, who am I to say there’s one right way to plug things? Also because I’m an idiot. Anyway, now I’m going to have to redo all those clips because I need my mellifluous tones, you know?

Also, we’re closing in on crucial puppy naming time.

Also, I’m being interviewed for a Biography Channel bio on Bob Saget on Wednesday.

Also, there’s a company party tomorrow night involving party-oke. Party-o-ke? Party-no-ke!

Also, Greg told me he hates when people add “tastic” to words. (“Oh God, you just did that thing I hate” is what he said.) This was after I said “scat-tastic” though, which I still think was the only applicable term.

Along the same lines, I think I’ve insulted a number of people with my publicly abhorring actionable. Seems quite a few people use that word.

Also, I overhead a guy on the street tell another one he’d been “rocking some serious, serious nausea” this week. I wanted to tell him I’d been “sportin’ some gnarly crabs” just to see what he’d say.
