A Man of My Word

I watched nearly every down of the NFL Wild Card Weekend. My couch and I were one. I walked to Borders and Second Spin between games on Saturday, saw "The Queen" Saturday night, which was excellent, and didn't leave the house until the final whistle blew around 5 p.m. on Sunday. It was great.

SNL was actually funny this week. Granted, it was a repeat, but it was still from this season so I think it still warrants mentioning. I don't know if it was the greatest host of all-time, Alec Baldwin, just carrying the rest of the losers or if they are finally turning things around. I may tune in again to find out.

After the games were over yesterday, I was bored out of my mind and going stir crazy. I couldn't think of anything better to do so I --get this-- went for a walk. Not for exercise per se, not to go anywhere in particular, just a walk for walk's sake. It was lovely. I realized how many things that seem far enough to merit driving to are actually only 5-10 minutes away by foot.

How is Christopher Walken not the greatest host of all time?

Easy, he's not Alec Baldwin thus he is not the greatest.

Not sure how to rank them, but I think the four best multi-appeared guest hosts in SNL history are as follows:

Alec Baldwin
Christopher Walkin
John Goodman
Justin Timberlake

By the way, a nice walk by oneself is quite refreshing.

Oh, and you used "lovely" again. You almost went a month of blogging without using it.

I didn't mean I was going to eliminate it from my vocabulary, just cut down considerably. There was no better word for this walk than "lovely." But I do thank you for calling me on it.
