Happy Happy Happy Friday!
I feel like I'm coming down with a cold or something. Still, it's Friday, and I have two days ahead of me to do whatever I want. And I don't even think there's anything I absolutely have to do except maybe some grocery shopping and laundry. Works for me!
That KFC commercial is on again -- the "they'll get used to dinner at home" one. Their big moneymaker slogan? "Bring back dinner." I still don't get how that's bringing back dinner. Takeout at home is still takeout! It cannot pass as anything else! Geez.
Ooh! The weather chick says it's gonna be warmer this weekend. It's fricking 37 degrees outside right now. Don't they know this is California? Of course, in Boston, where much of my family is, that's one degree colder than their high temp right now -- so maybe I should stop bitching. Plus, I don't work outside like my poor husband. He has to wear 50 layers of clothes every day so he doesn't freeze his ass off. Lots of laundry in the house this time of year!
Anyhoo, time for me to get ready for work. One more thing -- when are these damned olympic games gonna be over so Conan O'Brien is back on? Not to mention every other program on NBC that I watch and isn't on. I used to like watching the figure skating, but I just don't give a crap anymore and I don't care to watch any of the other sports. Sorry, I'm just not any more interested in that than I am any other sporting even that's constantly on!

The games are lasting a while. Damn.
KFC takeout is the bomb.
Right now I'm going through a Church's Chicken phase. Spicy recipe!
I wouldn't mind working outside even with 50 layers of clothes on. It has to be better than sitting in a freaking office all day. Oh, and I totally agree about the Olympics.
LBB: Don't get me wrong -- we do takeout, maybe even more than we should. But I don't ever try to pass it off like I've done something noteworthy because I brought it home and put it on some plates!
PM: Yes, sometimes it'd be nice to spend the day outside and not feel all cooped up. But I do like my space heater!
I think the "brining back dinner" compaign has to do with time management and getting your family to set down at the table and have a "traditional" dinner together. Traditional as far as the meal time customs go anyway, not the food per say. It desturbs me on many levels. First, it implies you cant have dinner together unless its pre-perpared, having a meal together during a weekday is so weird the mother of the friend needed confirmation from the mother of the house, and also, what does this say about American culture? That we accept this idea of needing fast food inorder to have a meal together, that the death of the family meal occured.. that nobody bothers to prepare a meal.. that this is an accurate portrayal of American food consumption and gastronomy today? The commercial really bugs me.
