TOP STORY
Nothing really happened over the last week. Basically, it was the busy season, and I found myself doing nothing entertaining. Basically, when you save up your sick days, you get the period between Christmas and New Years off every time. However, that would mean getting all the work done before you�re gone for the year. That�s what the following week will feature, which explains why I�m CHILLIN� for the Christmas Show. Also, Bob Barker�s birthday bash was on tonight. Over 300 grand was given away tonight; no million tonight. Fortunately, there�s another special Thursday night. That�s basically all the Price is Right I watch. It�s not the same anymore; it�s not as good as it used to be.
Speaking of Christmas, I get to laugh at everyone shopping, because I am done baby! WOO HOO! That part of my busy life is done with. Seriously, I should have gone out, but there�s too much to do. If there was more time and less procrastination, I�d be gone, and the rant would not extend into Saturday.
Edited to add: Breaking News.
Normally, whenever I do the rant, I hardly go into Saturday, since the bulk of things occur during the week. However, I have never gone into Sunday, and today has got to be an exception. Sadaam being caught? Whoa. It caught everyone by surprise, in addition to the fact that it was done without killing him.
Not only am I glad and shocked, I'm glad that it didn't happen, like, yesterday late afternoon, early evening, of all possible times that he could have been caught.
I really hope that we don't boast too much about this. I'm praying that we don't see a scenario a la Air Force One and 24; especially since Bin Laden is still out there.
This is good for Bush, as much as everything goes. IMO, it's a major boost toward a re-election. I'm just hoping that if and when he gets elected, we don't fall back to where we've been in mid-to-late 2005.
The preceding were just my views and opinions, that I may or may not share with others.
It's a great day, no matter what.
WEATHER
This actually helped me make the decision not to go out. Again, there is snow in the forecast, and I�m not taking any chances. That, and I�m trying to save money for a lot of stuff.
SPORTS
Let�s see. All Baltimore has to do is to win one more game and then Pittsburgh�s out of the playoff race. All Pittsburgh has to do is lose one more game, and then they are out of the playoff race. Even if neither one happens, it�s still mathematically possible that Baltimore (or even Cincinnati) can take the title. Speaking of titles, Jason White took the title, rather, he took the Heisman Trophy from Larry Fitzgerald. I believe he�s the first quarterback in his section to get the job done. Despite breaking several records, Fitzgerald was denied the Heisman. Maybe next year, Larry!
MY GAME
It�s all tallied up. Barring no one actually tallied the scores up on his or her own I know who won. To break it down, it�s someone who has already won the game this season. For the most part, the scores were decent this time around. I�ll have the results up on my web page and everywhere else within the week.
THE SHOW
So, Elijah is hosting. I guess anything can happen. Maybe an SNL TOON or ice skating on the rink. Anyway�
�And now, the review
HARDBALL
Yes!
100/100
MONOLOGUE
Chris! What are you doing here? Yeah, former CM made cameos, but not so often, especially after they were in the cast earlier in the year. Only Jon Lovitz and Jan Hooks made it work. Also, Jan didn�t really surface in 1991-1992.
60/100
AHAHAHAHAHA
At first, I thought this was a skit that was trying to follow the footsteps of Will and Ana�s run, but then it went downhill. However, Will saved it from total disaster, until the end, where it actually picked up a little.
83/100
BRAVO PRESENTS: QUEER EYE
This was alright, I guess. It could have been better, IMO.
77/100
SNL TOONS
Yay! I so predicted this. And it�s Fun With Real Audio. That�s the thing about these; the more bizarre, the funnier. This was such an example.
99/100
WAKE UP WAKEFIELD
The Rachel and Maya duo are back. That�s right; I�m talking about Wake up Wakefield! It�s like Wayne�s World, except, kind of bad.
50/100
AND NOW HERE IS TONIGHT�S VERY SPECIAL MUSICAL GUEST
I really used this period to catch up on some things. Since I could hear it by the ear, I figured that I�d give points based on what I heard. It was okay.
89/100
SATURDAY NIGHT NEWS
This started off strong, but then it slid. The thing that had me laughing was the opening joke on how Dean was as upset as Leiberman for Al Gore endorsing Dean.
John Mayer wasn�t really that great. I pretty much spent time focusing on whether people would get the points for their picks for how many people would appear on Weekend Update.
Fortunately, people got this right, but thanks to Bobby Brown, the focus on possible winners went from people who could use a win to people that already have.
80/100
VERSACE
Get out!
70/100 = Original score plus 30 for not being a long Versace skit
HOWARD DEAN
Thank you TPTB. We finally see Darrell do something else besides Chris Matthews that doesn�t suck! Too bad Jeff�s Howard isn�t that sharp yet, but neither was Will�s Dubya when he first used it. Just so as long as Darrell doesn�t end up playing Dean, barring the results of the 2004 election.
100/100 = original score plus 10
RIALTO GRANDE
It wasn�t bad. For one thing, Chris redeemed himself thanks to this. However, there were some weak points, so I�ve got to take off points. Still, I didn�t expect to see this again (at least this soon).
91/100
MUSIC
Great close to the show. Of course, we know why SNL actually put the Music as the last act.
100/100
Total: 1015
Average: 84.58
It was a good show. A lot of funny moments to weed out the crappy ones! Unfortunately, some of the stuff that got cut shouldn�t have, IMO.
That�s the review. Have a safe and exciting holiday season. Also, I don�t even need to tell you what to do so that we�re all laughing (hopefully) at the Jennifer Aniston episode. Take care and God Bless.
