My Thanksgiving Recap

Another Thanksgiving come, another Thanksgiving go.
Here are some of my higlights and low-lights from yesterday:
T-DAY HIGHLIGHTS:
Four Pittsburghers celebrating Thanksgiving in a small NYC apartment.
The homemade meal was strong, and because I haven't puked within the last 12 hours, it means I didn't undercook the turkey (whew).
(left: I'm thankful for 1. Me not cutting off a finger while carving the turkey, 2. Trimmings, trimmings, and more trimmings, and, 3. Spending T-Day with these three lovely ladies!)
Foo Fighters as the special guests on Top Chef. Dave Grohl critiquing Thanksgiving dinner equals television gold!
Green bean casserole with french-fried onions on top (a suburban classic...mmm).
Not having to go downtown to see the Thanksgiving Day Parade.
T-DAY LOWLIGHTS:
Missing the Thanksgiving Day Parade (as you can see I'm torn on whether I like or dislike this yearly tradition).
Popping in a new Christmas CD, Booker T. & The MG's In The Christmas Spirit only to realize that track #7, "Merry Christmas Baby" is the song used in a Cialis commercial. I'll never be able to listen to the song without thinking about erections lasting longer than seven hours.
If you asked me to tell you my 5-favorite things in life, music, food, and sports would be strong contenders. Unfortunately, yesterday I only got one out of the three. The two yearly Thanksgiving football games (excluding the one shown exclusively on the NFL Network) were total lopsided blowouts and the half-time shows, featuring Jesse McCartney and the Jonas Brothers, were equally as horrible. I don't know why, but after witnessing a bad pop music performance I just get really angry.

Looks like you had a great Thanksgiving!
If you're in Pittsburg and want something to be thankful for in music, see Brad Yoder perform. He's great and he lives there.
