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).

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.
