30Rock and Other Awesome Stuff I Don't Deserve

If you think you have a sense of humor (and hey, most people think they d0) and you're not watching 30Rock, you're missing the funniest show on TV since Seinfeld went off the air. Seriously, there are a handful of shows that come along in a generation that are so well written, so well acted, so perfectly put together, that even while you're watching it, you realize it's genius. For me the ultimate standard is, "Would I want this on DVD?" The show has such genius, it's almost like being able to see 10 years into the future to figure out which fashion trends to avoid now because you'll look back at pictures and see how big of a 'tard you looked like. Tight rolling comes to mind. I'm also reminded of wearing cardigans and turtlenecks together. What look again was I going for in middle school again? Grandpa? Librarian? Who knows what I was going for, but I achieved "jackass" with aplomb.

Speaking of awesome stuff, well, actually that's a bit of an overstatement. Speaking of things that are way better than you expect since you have extremely low expectations, I ate at McDonald's today...and it was not terrible. Katy Perry kissed a girl and she liked it. I ate a sausage biscuit (two, actually) and I liked it. I ate at McDonald's once in 2008 and that was for an afternoon ice cream. I ate there 2-3 times in 2007 at most. Anyway, we promised my daughter she could pick our breakfast location as sort of a pre-birthday treat. She picked McDonald's. After many, many attempts to redirect her to Chick-Fil-A ("Look, Katherine! There's a cow in pajamas!") she still picked McDonald's. But you know what, it wasn't bad. I got two sausage biscuits and a sweet tea for $3. The whole ticket was just over $12. Now that's value.

Another awesome thing: Syracuse pounded Notre Dame today, 93-74. For those who don't remember or just don't care, this is actually a rivalry that goes back way before ND joined the Big East. I'm talking the Digger Phelps days. I've always hated Notre Dame. This win feels good.

And finally, I spent some productive time at work today. It felt good to get in for a few hours and knock out some to-dos. Should make next week a little easier to handle.
