Saturday Night

All kinds of excitement on TV tonight ... although I did sleep through much of it.

: )

For starters, The Sound of Music was on. Yeah, I admit: I enjoy this film. Find myself singing at least 2 of its songs at any given moment. Sadly, I saw only a minute of it tonight.

Then I discovered Coldplay performing on Austin City Limits. And I do not care what anyone says: I think “Yellow” is a lovely little song. Noticed that Jakob Dylan & the Wallflowers were going to be performing on Soundstage, so I called Lea and woke her up.

(Jakob has a beautiful face and great hair. Lea and I agree on this much — well, actually, I am not sure how she feels about his hair.)

And I saw Neil Young perform his first song of the night on Saturday Night Live. And it was wonderful. Have not seen him on SNL since ... wow, 2000! And I am pretty sure I am getting his new CD for Christmas, so that makes me smile.

: )

Speaking of Christmas:

Great line by Tina Fey (sp?) during Weekend Update: “Just a reminder: Only 7 shopping days left ’til holiday.”

Heh. Heh, heh. Heh.

And a great scene featuring Debbie Downer (LOVE the “Waah, waah” after her comments!), including a snippet from “The Twelve Days of Christmas” when Santa tries to offer her a pair of roller skates: “Three broken fingers, two shattered kneecaps and a hematoma in the scalp!” (Or something like that!)

: )

Earlier today, I went on a vicarious road trip to the Poconos. It was fun!
