Rise and shine sleepyhead.

3:03 AM

I'm awake. Oh, and so's my cat.

Here's one for you...

Absolutely nothing to do with me not sleeping, but then again there's absolutely no reason for me not to be sleeping....so in a very sleep deprived way, it's the perfect choice. Here's some (very) random thoughts and observations early on this Thanksgiving morning.

QVC is currently selling the Stanley Ultrabright Flashlight. Retail value $49.00...QVC price $34.00..BUT WAIT - there's a red line striking out that price! Featured price $29.98. They currently have it floating in an aquarium, why, I don't know, but they do. Oh, they just took it out and....wait for it...they are pointing it right at me. Holy cow, that is ultrabright. I'm typing this in the dark, but the living room looks like it's got a strobe light going on and off. Actually quite distracting. Didn't this guys Mom teach him to not shine a light directly in someone's eyes...that's annoying...but I feel this guy has spent most of his life being annoying. Honestly.

They certainly are excited about this flashlight.

Do you know anyone that owns an accordion? How's that for random?

My cat seemed to be happy to see me saunter down the stairs at this early hour. I'm sure he thought it was time for breakfast. It was not. He's sleeping now. So much for man's best friend. Wait....wrong animal.

Speaking of pets...QVC is now pushing a motion activated rolling and laughing pet. Comes in monkey, pig, and horse. Apparently kids love these. The two adults in the faux living room are actually having a discussion about the magic of laughter and are just loving the pandemonium that the 14 (or so) of these things rolling amongst them is causing. These will make your kids love you if you buy them. At least I think that's what they're implying. Stop the presses. Betty (with the smoker's voice) is now on the phone. I think she just said she bought four of them for her parents last year and blah blah blah. Really? For her parents? Four?

I must be dreaming.

Oh Christ, the monkey just sold out.



....seemed like a good spot for a picture.

3:29 AM. Teddy (the cat), is still asleep. Actually I think he may be snoring. I'm not. Asleep or snoring.

I'll bet those folks involved with the Macy's day parade are already up.
Reminds me of the time I was in the Macy's day parade.
I was third tether on Garfields tail in 2003.

<p>Pop culture fans give a thumbs up to the lasagna-loving cat.</p>


Actually, that's a lie. I've never been in the Macy's day parade. I've never been in any parade, But, I have been to Macy's...and I've read the Parade magazine section in the Sunday paper.

...and speaking of man's best friend (well, I was awhile ago)....Does anybody else watch the National Dog Show that is televised every Thanksgiving?

I didn't think so.
John O'Hurley (from Maine) is the emcee. You know John O'Hurley, don't you?...J. Peterman from Seinfeld.
The smart money is on the Puli this year.

Here's John O'Hurley...I don't know why he has a cow dressed as a baby in his lap


...and here's a puli...


Image result for puli

...apparently puli's can levitate...and they have no legs. That's why I think it will win.

Now what?....

Christ... Sharp has added a yellow pixel and 240 Hz to their latest TV. Apparently this really makes the laces of a football stand out in high def. Kid you not. He just said that. Or have I fallen asleep and  I'm now having a nightmare? You think if I called and ordered one now, I could have it delivered in time for the Dolphins/Cowboys game this afternoon?

4:10 AM Time to go open the refrigerator door and stare aimlessly into it.

4:11 AM. ...and now I've got heartburn. Awesome.

Should probably give sleep a second chance.

That tryptophan is going to own me this afternoon.



Happy Thanksgiving...eat your veggies.
