What have I been up to besides not writing a blog? Well, I have been cutting my hair, which is kind of addictive. I've been eating a ton of food, watching a lot of television and riding my bike. I'm not a fan of writing a blog when i have nothing at all to say, even tough I have done it in the past. I have stuff to say today. How bout that?
I have a thing about answering the door when I'm not expecting anyone. I tend not to do it. I was caught a little off guard yesterday. I was sitting in my bed watching TV and eating when I heard a knock at my door. So there's this asshole blogger who I know who keeps trying to go to war with me via urbandictionary.com, facebook and photoshop. It's only medium funny. This asshole blogger is very much a 6 year old although he denies kicking me in the shins when we were at karaoke. Earlier in the day, said asshole blogger kept threatening to come over to my house. There was an unexpected knock at my door and I thought it was him so I turned off the TV and the lights and pretended not to be home. Silly me. Turning shit off that had previously been on makes it obvious that you are at home. The person at the door said in some creepy fake voice "Housekeeping" and I knew it wasn't asshole blogger, but in fact Malcolm. I was very relieved and I let him in.
With certain friends, you always end up strolling down memory lane with them. I have known Malcolm since kindergarten but we have been friends since we were 20. Both of us are a lot happier with ourselves now than we were at 20 but I'm not sure I disagree with his statement yesterday that that was the best year of our life. I wonder if people find it offensive when you say stuff to them like "Same old Maggie" or "Phil, you havn't changed a bit". We've all changed a lot. We haven't aged really, but we have certainly changed. Well...most of us have. We spent a good portion of the night looking at my photo albums and marvelling at how young we were. I might have been a little bit pissed when Malcolm commented on how long my hair used to be and how my now short hair ages me a little. I guess i'm not TOO offended. (You should see how long HIS hair used to be.) The day before, he had gone to visit some of the former Crows Nest kids and they just happened to have yet another photo album from back in the day. Oh... the Crow's Nest. Those were certainly the days. I didn't work there but most of my firends did so I was always around. Most of us went to the same college too. Ben always said I should have been on the payroll. Oh, that Ben.
So yeah, one awesome thing about Malcolm is his appreciation for my childhood. It is a good thing we weren't friends until we were grown ups because we would have never left the house. We would have sat in the house playing video games, watching TV and eating novelty snacks. (I think if Hostess Choco-Bliss ever came back, we would be in trouble.) Last night we spent a good amount of time watching TV show openings on youtube and singing along. If you don't remember the opening theme for The Tracy Ullman Show on Fox, I suggest you look into it. I was reminded (remound) of last year when we were sitting in his hospital room singing "Just the 10 of Us" and "Mr. Belvedere" at top volume and the people across the hall from us shut the door. Good old Malcolm. See? This is why I get so upset when we get in fights and stop being friends with each other. Speaking of that... Anthony will be here tomorrow. I can not WAIT!
Tracy Ullman is last.

11 ramblings of others:
I don't know any of these shows except Tracy Ullman. That was a great show.
Dude, I must not have been watching as much TV in the 80s as I thought. LA Law, Married with Children and Tracy were the only ones I recognized. Crazy.
Yeah, I don't know most of those shows either. But I'm tickled pink that you posted! WOOHOO! I want to see your new haircut.
Hey, what a coincidence. I'm going to London momentarily and I will try to catch up with Nikolas. He's doing a study program there. We need to host a Hill family reunion.
as the "BABY", i OBVIOUSLY don't know much about ANYTHING you talk about ::eyeroll:: but i do know one thing:
they sure loved them saxophone back then.
btw, la law and married with children were my jams...
Seeing all of the show openings reminded me of "Bloodhound Gang", granted that's way early 80s. *queue music* Whenever there's trouble, we're there on the double... we're the Bloodhound Gang! Yeah! *cut and jazz hands*
lostinco - i was really surprised by how many i knew. but...i have watched a LOT of TV in my time.
lorraine - yeah dude. what were you doing not watching enough tv :)
hat - you will see it ssoon enough. wink
ern - our fam and the hills... soooo much overlap. crazy, right?
rose - you ain't that young. and yes 80s= saxophone infused tv theme songs.
gabe - "if you've got the crime, w'eve got the time. we're the bloodhound gaaaaang"
Never watched TV in the 80's, because it was the product of the devil..(that is what my mom thought) so I didnt get anything.
Oh I want to see your new haircut too.
Glad you posted. missed you
