Big Turkeys

Happy Thanksgiving!

Side Dish

Turkey Day: I hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving! I actually fixed a turkey's breast and it was a tiny success. At least, it didn't taste like salmonella! However, my attempt to replicate my Aunt Lee Ann's tasty cheesy corn dish was a disappointment. I'm afraid I used too much cream cheese and not enough corn. Guess you can't win them all.

Chips and Dip: I wasn't there to witness it, but I heard D-list celeb Erik Estrada visited Touchy Feely Fotos this past Monday. Apparently Estrada is in town to renew his status as a reserve police officer for the Muncie police department (Remember Armed and Famous? Don't worry, neither does America). I can only imagine the ruckus his appearance caused. I'm sure there was plenty of high-pitched shrieking and pawing from middle-aged women wearing pajama bottoms and Colts paraphernalia.

Question of the Day: Is it sad that I'm happy that Paige Davis is returning to Trading Spaces?

If Yesterday Was Black Friday, Is Today Beige Saturday?

Ate: Thanksgiving dinner at the Cracker Barrel with my mom and grandma. The place was packed, but the food was good. I don't see us making a tradition out of it, but it was a nice change of pace for a Thanksgiving. Simple, but tasty.

Saw: Over the River and Through the Woods at the Muncie Civic that featured a stellar cast of actors (Hello, Wanita! Hello, Earl! Hello, Jan!). If you were in the audience, you could have seen a familiar fat cartoonist tear up for the last twenty minutes of the show. Strong men also cry...strong men also cry!

Received: The script for Moon Over Buffalo. Lots and lots and lots of lines! Challenging, but fun (Uh, right?)!

Hate: Being a hypochondriac! I need to train my mind to think I will live forever!

Man in The Moon

Lunar Landing: Well, I finally got some info from the Muncie Civic last Friday and it looks like I got a part in Moon Over Buffalo! In fact, I was cast as one of the leads which came as a big surprise to this fat cartoonist. I've always considered myself a supporting character type so to get one of the main roles is kind of daunting, but exciting, too. Something tells me I have a lot of lines to remember! Memorizing will probably begin once I get the script this Friday.

Faux pas: Yesterday I told a Jehovah's Witness to have a Happy Thanksgiving. Did I do bad?

My Granny's Favorite Flugelhornist: Chuck Mangione

Closing Words (Please Don't Get Offended!): Happy Thanksgiving and safe eating!
