By the way, the worst episode of SNL of all time is the one Matthew McConoughey hosted two or three years back. Easily the lowest low in over 30 years.

The Donald Trump episode from last year comes really close, though.

― Matthew C Perpetua (inca), Sunday, 13 November 2005 06:25 (eighteen years ago) link

the only good part of this episode was the weekend update girl on girl re-encctment, and not cause of the lesbian sex, but the political commentary.

You know, I know there were moderately funny bits throughout, but I can't remember them. The show ended a half hour ago!

But after several consecutive awful episodes, just getting back up to mediocrity was impressive enough for me.

I watch SNL like some people follow a sports team - sometimes you have to watch your team have a crappy season. To me, the frustrating thing about SNL in the past two or three years is that the cast is full of pretty good performers - it's the writing that's awful.

now I'm re-reading the first 300 pages of a terrible "funny" sci-fi novel I wrote in high school and wondering if I should burn it or fix it and try to publish it under another name. it's not any worse than lots of shit. also, I'm going to take bath, maybe. I was going to go see the Clientele. That would have been more interesting!

watched CSI, Numbers, Stuart Gordon installment of Showtime's "Matsers Of Horror" series. Husband cooked pulled pork on the bbq, except that it took much longer to cook than expected, ie still waiting at uhm let's see, midnight. luckily we had other food. my advice: the less involvement nature has in your method of cooking, the more likely it will cook within the planned timeframe. bbq tastes great, but the waiting sucks ASS!

― VegemiteGrrl (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 13 November 2005 08:08 (eighteen years ago) link

why do they call it pulled pork?

― gear (gear), Sunday, 13 November 2005 08:15 (eighteen years ago) link

THEY JUST DO. it's damn good though.

I am drinking some smuttynose pumpkin ale, which i think someone recommended on the nov. fucking 10 list and they had at fresh direct this week. mmm good. I just finished Youth of the Beast, can't decide whether to start another movie or go to bed.

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Sunday, 13 November 2005 08:28 (eighteen years ago) link

movie!

i've seen the smuttynose pumpkin ale at the store. i'm a total impulse buyer when it comes to pumpkin anything, so i'm surprised i haven't snapped it up yet. but i've tried smuttynose before and found what i had a bit too hoppy.

I am watching the Clientele on Morning Becomes Eclectic. Earlier I went out for dinner at Prune because my uncle and cousins are in town. I had steak! and bitter greens! and wine! Alasdair has magic fingers. I went to see the Memling exhibition at the Frick. Eggshell skin, furs, long tapered fingers.

had dinner at the polish place by my house, drooled over some hot poles, came home and played video games all night. im trying to make it sober-november.

after last night, which is why i'm sick, i'll be having a sober remainder of '05. goddamned irish car bombs

― gear (gear), Sunday, 13 November 2005 09:04 (eighteen years ago) link

I went to bed early, and slept for ten hours.

I went out for a friend's birthday and accidentally ended up DJing to 500 people. I did see some really boring bands though.

Man, Jason Lee hosting saturday nite live was a big letdown...so unfunny.

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Sunday, 13 November 2005 19:49 (eighteen years ago) link

why do they call it pulled pork?

because after it's cooked, instead of slicing it, you literally pull it
off the bone with a fork.

And Jody's right: it's damn good.

― VegemiteGrrl (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 14 November 2005 05:09 (eighteen years ago) link

Sat up all night watching buffy and smoking pot. 7.15 am now. jesus. also, boring sunday night.

I formed a punk band with my mates and now I've lost my voice.

Skipped the midnight screening of "Rosemary's Baby" ... but scored.

>Jason Lee hosting saturday nite live was a big letdown...so unfunny.<

So you are you unfamiliar with the last 12 years of SNL? I did tape it to watch Dave Grohl toss his hair.

I spent two hours of Saturday night sat on a cold platform at the wonderfully named Pokesdown station in Bournemouth, waiting for a train that eventually turned up and dropped me, not at Waterloo, but in the middle of Hampshire due to a broken rail.

Then I waited another two hours for a replacement bus, which took an hour to get me to Southampton, then there was a 30 minute wait for a train back to London, which took 90 minutes. I eventually got home around 10pm, discovered there was no beer in the fridge and that the offie was closed, so I took the dog for a walk, stopped off at a local chavpub for a pint and then went to bed.

Working on a Saturday night, not seeing the point at all.

Looks lots better than what I had. (Cold Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich, cold fries.) Wait, rice plus french fries?

I was going to hang out with my roommate tonight, but now I'm extremely pissed off at him after finding out the past month he's secretly been keeping pet ferrets in his room fully aware that I'm allergic to animals with fur. He thought that it was worth keeping them secret and seeing if my allergies started to get real bad.

So now I'm waiting for someone to get off work so I can go do something else tonight. I hope it does end up happening. Otherwise I may just sit in my room and be pissed off all night. And I'm getting tired of refreshing ILX. (No offense, ILX)

― Mickey (modestmickey), Sunday, 4 December 2005 02:21 (eighteen years ago) link

That's not offensive. In fact, it's refreshing!

awesome saturday night in. watched twelve monkeys (yeah! also i just read oryx & crake! which echoed 'foundation' which i read just before that! how come these things always come with such perfect timing for me?) on tv, drank er whatever i could find (gin, rum, a bit of wine), generally revelled in not being out &etc. i get such a kick out of being in when everyone else is out...

― emsk ( emsk), Sunday, 4 December 2005 02:47 (eighteen years ago) link

i'm quarantining myself until i finish my personal statement and it's actually getting done.

I got out for a couple of hours to see Good Night and Good Luck, while the nieces were being put to bed. But now SVU reruns -- can hardly tell the difference from any other night of the week.

Wish I were in England where they serve rice AND chips with curry.

― Mitya (mitya), Sunday, 4 December 2005 03:07 (eighteen years ago) link

Wait, rice plus french fries?

there weren't that many fries. the rice was perfectly cooked though; i'm glad it was there. awesome cold weather food.

reading a 500-page book on string theory. it rules.

― geeta (geeta), Sunday, 4 December 2005 03:39 (eighteen years ago) link

i sucked it up and had my pesto, broccoli and garlic, yellow wax beans and tomato, and salad. watching LA Story while doing research.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Sunday, 4 December 2005 03:42 (eighteen years ago) link

On boring Saturday nights when I want to go out but can't find anything to do, I don't let myself read a book. Even if it's what I kind of want to do. It's almost like admitting defeat to admit "This is my life: Saturday night and I am reading Dostoyevsky." Not that being on the computer is any better, or anything. At least I'm not just looking at porn on the Internet or something. Actually, I haven't done that yet. I'm going to go do that now.

― Mickey (modestmickey), Sunday, 4 December 2005 03:42 (eighteen years ago) link

there is an Ida Red in my future

Just returned from Whole Foods: my dinner is wild mushroom and pecan soup, jalapeno cornbread, and cold sesame greens. I'm going to try to pick up around the house, and probably watch a couple of Curb Your Enthusiasm episodes on DVD later.

Making green chile salsa, watching Unseen Cinema, drinking the champagne we bought for next week's party but decided is too good for our guests.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Sunday, 4 December 2005 04:02 (eighteen years ago) link

I've got some mighty fine wine here, folks. It's been three hours and I've only had two glasses. Now that's some good shit.

i've got some pretty shitty wine here! but that's ok, cause the cheese is good and i'm on my third glass so i don't even notice the badness of the wine anymore :)
