SNL...Funny again

Since I don't have a life, I watch a lot of tv these days, especially Saturday Night. I know you're totally jealous.

I'm sure you have all seen the Sarah Palin impersonations by Tina Fey but there have actually been some other hilarious SNL skits this season. Kristen Wiig is a very good physical comic and always delievers a spot on performace. Part of this is due to the writers knowing the comics strength. Seth Meyers as the head writer is doing a fantastic job this year. Below are links to a couple of the best skits of the season so far. Far and away Anne Hathaway has been the best host this year.

The Lawrence Welk Show
Totally reminds me of the real show....well maybe about 3/4 of the real show

Mary Poppins
What happens when Mary Poppins gets a VD

Mark Walhberg Talks To Animals
Sounds just like him, I can totally see him doing this

Mark Walhberg Follow-up
And Mark Walhberg actually does it

Judy Grimes
This is great, just kidding, it's grape, just kidding, it's green

My Top 10.........Albums to Listen to Completely

Last night I was over at Penny Loafer's(see "Oh Dear Lord....No More Croptops!") and the song "Jumper" from Third Eye Blind's Semi-Charmed Life started playing on his stereo. I hadn't heard it in years but it reminded me of how much I loved that album when I was in college. I'm sure some of you are thinking..."WTF!?, really?! Third Eye Blind?"......but 10 years ago, I could listen to the entire album over and over and not get sick of it.

Now, with the creation of mp3's and iTunes, I hardly ever purchase an entire album and realize that finding one you can listen to completely is rare. This realization, and a bit of alcohol, lead to us both listing out our favorite 10 Albums. The rule was that you can only include the album in your list if you can listen to every song on the album and not want to skip a song. No soundtracks allowed and you can only put one greatest hits or live album on your list. I'm sure everyone will have their opinion on our lists, but here they are. Let me know what you think I'm missing or I completely missed the boat on....of course you'd be wrong, but I'm still curious what you think.

Oh and as for Semi-Charmed Life, it just missed the cut!

Fall in The Rockies 2

Fall in the Rockies

This weekend my mom and I went to Beaver Creek to enjoy the fall colors. To me it seemed like the colors were so much brighter than years in past. The yellows and oranges were amazing! Anyway, here are some photos.

So Jealous!

My parents are moving to Mexico! They suck, I'm so jealous! I think they are ready for a little change in life and scenery so why not go to Mexico?? My step-mom is in the mortgage lending business so...in case you hadn't heard...things aren't going well for lenders currently and my dad is self-employed and has the ability to do most of his work from home. As a result, they decided it's a great time to try something new....like moving to Mexico.

They're renting out their house here, selling their cars and boat and moving to Puerto Vallarta for six months! It's actually not that wild of a thought as they own a condo with some friends in a great, little town called Bucerias, just north of Puerto Vallarta. In addition, they have a little network of locals down there they can rely on. They always say that it's a bit of a waste of money since they don't get down their enough so they're going to move in and try to sell some of their friends Mexican real estate! If it works out they may stay longer, if it doesn't, they'll just come back and resume life up here. Talk about awesome!

This leaves only my mom and I in Colorado. 5 years ago all the family was here, now with this and my three brothers leaving the state(or country) it's going to be lonely during the holidays. Maybe I'll just go down to Mexico for Xmas this year; my dad and step-mom wouldn't mind if my mom comes right? That's not awkward or anything.....Anyway, I have attached a photo from our place down there, I know....it's rough right?
