Fallon

Ok, I have not been getting enough sleep during the week, because I LOVE JIMMY FALLON'S SHOW! It was so much easier when I was bored by all the other 11:30 (CST) late night hosts - I just went to bed after Letterman's monologue, see...unless Amy Sedaris was his guest. But that Fallon - he's so charming! Every word out of his mouth is good-natured! He's awkward as hell some of the time, but I think that's a symptom of his good-naturedness. Mike Myers was his guest last night, and Fallon must have said ten times that Myers was his comedy hero, which seemed to make Myers very uncomfortable. And whenever Myers told a story, Fallon would be like, "Oh my God, that's awesome. That's so funny!"

Like I said, awkward...but so freaking sweet. I might just turn this blog into a recap of the delightful things that Jimmy Fallon did and said the night before.

omg, the world as it should be

Just got teary-eyed reading a good New York Times review of the Britney Spears comeback concert.

“The Circus Starring Britney Spears” Review

It's Britney, bitch. The whole world seemed out of sorts when she was having her meltdown. I think that Britney needs to succeed for the rest of us to succeed.

wherever you go...

I am working today on being happy with what I've got. I've spent ten years bitching about living in Minnesota, and here I am. The bitching doesn't appear to be helping. I'm trying to put it in context, the whole question of hating the climate and wanting to move. I think I'm whiny about the weather because I've been lucky enough to travel and experience other climates. But I'm still from Minnesota, do I move to another place just because the sun shines more and it snows less and my face never freezes off and the salt on the roads doesn't rot my car and the salt on the sidewalks doesn't rot my shoes? (Veering into complaining again...)
Also, a lot of the people I respect most in the world are Midwesterners who stayed. Hard-working, good-hearted, down-to-earth, practical, funny people. No one makes me laugh like a fellow Midwesterner. I could move but does that mean I should? To a place where I have no roots? But can I bloom where I'm planted when the ground is frozen and the sun rarely shines for half the year?
