TV – Curb Your Enthusiasm

I have been watching the HBO cable hit Curb Your Enthusiasm. It is painfully funny.

Season 1 is on my laptop. I assume it got there legally.

Most interesting to me, however, is that this is the kind of TV show that anyone could produce with a camcorder.

hungover? – HAPPY NEW YEAR

Carpenters in your head? (Norwegian)

Wooden face? (French)

Has your tide gone out? (Portuguese)

The Germans call a hangover a “katzenjammer,” which means “a wailing of cats.”

I gleaned this from Kate who is speaks authoritatively for the party animals of Vancouver. She writes some sort of news column about where wives should go to find — a good drink.

lists – year end 2005

BushI have always loved lists, especially around New Years.

I find I can skip entire years — then catch-up by scanning lists of the Best of ____.

For the 237th straight year, Fimoculous.com has posted a lists of lists for 2005.

For example, Roger Ebert’s best movies of the year. (I have seen not one of them.)

Or go straight to America’s Finest News Source, the top 10 stories of the year from Onion.com

TV – The Simpsons

40 Rods to the Hogshead?

RalphMy theory stands unchallenged that all LIFE is to be found in the archives of The Simpsons.

They have changed our language. They have changed our lives.

Me fail English? That’s unpossible.
