Spent the day yesterday in front of the TV, quite happily having no reason whatsoever to leave the house. Or get dressed. Or do anything but eat and watch Inspector Morse on the Biography Channel.

I did decide to re-start Weight Watchers today, probably due to reading Lose the Buddha and Mr. Ointy, which was one reason I was eating up a storm all day long. Hell, I figured that might as well as long as I could for the next few hours. Besides, who can diet with rocky road ice cream in the house? If you can, you'e a better man than I am, baby.

I have gained back about 30 pounds of the 40 I lost two years ago, and I really did enjoy Weight Watchers, so it's time to give it another shot. I am not going to the meetings or doing it online, I still have all of my paraphernalia, including the two most important things--the list of foods and point values and the little slide rule where you figure out the point values of foods not on the list.

That is one reason that doing the real in-person WW is better than the online, because you don't get the slide rule online, so if you're not paying, you can't figure out point values. I guess. I've never done it online.

Anyway, I'm very excited to be going back to losing weight again. Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't, but I'm right at the beginning, where the future is so bright, I gotta wear shades.

So, Mark called me yesterday, for no reason that I could fathom. And sort of asked me out.

I don't know what's up with that or with him, but he really made me think that he wasn't interested in me, he really made it quite clear indeed, but now he calls me! And says that we must go to the Museum of Television and Radio together!

Here's the rule, if you are friends with someone and you know that they have a crush on you but you are not interested in them, do not say anything that might be construed with asking them for a date! And, for crying out loud, if you are interested and you are asking them out, don't be such an asshole in the first place.

Watched the season premiere of Saturday Night Live.

Did everyone hear Don Pardo, when reading the opening credits, refer to Will Forte as Will Ferrell? Or rather, "Will Ferre..." Poor Will Forte. The Lesser of the SNL Wills.

Is it not time for Darrell Hammond to leave this show? Once, a couple of years ago, I saw him on the show and thought that he was doing a little surprise guest shot like Aykroyd does at times. But no, it turns out that he was still a cast member. And is still a cast member. Has he no home to go to?

The "Dr. Porkenheimer's Boner Juice" commercial was terrifically funny. I'm totally referring to it whenever I see a Viagra commercial. Which is about every 25 minutes.

Hey, they paired up Tina with Amy Poehler for Weekend Update! This is almost certainly the first time in either real or fake news where both newscasters are women. The should make that their ad line: "SNL-So totally no longer a boy's club. Swear to God! Haven't you seen it, two chicks doing Update, what more do you want?"

Note to Affleck: If it's FUNNY that they are stuck on an ESCALATOR and are reaction as though it is an ELEVATOR, it is much LESS funny if you accidentally say that you are stuck on an ELEVATOR. Yeah yeah yeah, live TV, whatever, I don't want to hear it. On the other hand, he was so damn funny as the obnoxious wedding DJ that he totally made up for it.

Caught up with Loobylu and Never.

Today's horoscope:
You can relax. There won't be any 'differences of opinion' -- at least, not of the volatile variety, and not unless you deliberately start them up. After nightfall, you may even have trouble staying awake, much less mad.

One year ago today:
Where is my tambourine? Why do I still not have a tambourine? I bought it two weeks ago, why has it not arrived yet? How will Kelly dance the tarantella without a tambourine?
