- We’re seeing Sherlock Holmes this weekend with the BamaDans. Can’t remember the last time I saw a movie so soon after its release, but we must strike. It’s a rare one indeed that’s going to attract all four of us.
- I am finding Marie Osmond with big hair and too much eye makeup, as seen on current Nutrisystem commercials, severely agreeable. (I imagine her reeking of drugstore perfume and strawberry lip gloss too.)
- Orient is probably the biggest wristwatch company you’ve never heard of. In the interest of their push into the American market, you can get 50% off the list price (which is a tad inflated, but not ridiculously so, making 50% off it still a good deal) through midnight tonight at their web site by entering the code lastchance50. If you’ve been thinking of getting an automatic of decent quality, this is a good opportunity. No interest other than being a satisfied customer.
- The need for tires on Lea’s van has been looming, and I’ve known for some time that I would probably take care of it on Christmas break. Took it yesterday, and all is fine, but two failed motor mounts (!) also found their way onto the bill, swelling it to a corpulent $1,163. (The counted blessing is that the driveline clunk I feared might be in the transaxle is now gone.)
- I’m going to try pescetarianism, aka “vegequarianism” (a vegetarian diet plus seafood). No forever resolution, but I’m committing to January. If anything interesting happens, I’ll let you know.
- OK, so Urban Meyer’s “checking himself in for dehydration” has morphed into “middle of the night 911 call when he fell out of bed and couldn’t be roused.” Mike Leach has apparently screwed all parties because he wouldn’t move a quarter of an inch to help himself. Bobby Bowden really, truly won’t be on the sideline in 2010. This is the soapiest coaching drama season I can remember.
- Happy New Year’s Eve. Wear your rubbers. Don’t sniff glue and drive.

Re: Leach. Have you read this interesting set of exchanges (http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/img/12-09/1231newleach.pdf)? The guy was always a malcontent headcase goofball, but it reads like his agents really made a mess of everything. I wonder if these guys know Mike McKenzie.
Bo, I’ve added Idaho Coach Robb Akey to my all-sideline interview team (with Joe Kines and Bobby Bowden). Sounds like a Mid-South regional pro wrestler prepping for the cage match against The Junkyard Dog.
…oh and Yaw Yaw too…
How is this hippy diet of your’s going to effect my daily lunch plans?
You should see “Avatar”. That’s a cool movie in 3d.
BamaDan: I always liked that he was weird. I mean, he’s just goofy. But he was definitely effective enough, you know? Apparently, and sadly for all involved, he/his agents lacked the discretion to know when it really was time to throw a bone or two.
And we did enjoy the Idaho coach promising a great second half!
TommyG: I’d say you’re probably going to receive informed opinions on a lot of shrimp, fish, and vegetarian dishes at local eateries :), though I am going to be going less. I’m going to budget for five to seven lunches out per month.
We’re headed for Avatar week after next.
