nah pop, no style

Some quick things:

• Last night, “A Charlie Brown Christmas” was followed up by a half-hour series of Christmas-related Peanuts vignettes, many of which were somewhat torturous but some of which were hilarious — Sally wakes Charlie Brown in the middle of the night on Christmas Eve to report that she had a dream in which she had visions of sugar plums then asks what a sugar plum is. He explains that it’s a type of candy and Sally says, “Oh, good. I was afraid I was freaking out.” Exeunt. At least, it was funny at the time.
• Cheez-it has introduced their own brand of EZ-Cheese stuff, which I naturally picked up to try because it said “Cheez-it” on the label.
  For whatever reason, I thought it would be better than other EZ-Cheese stuff, but it of course was not. Who decided it would be a wise idea to enter the canned process cheese food market in 2006? Hasn’t this product been washed-up for twenty years? Is there an EZ-Cheese revival coming that I wasn’t warned of? Regardless, I’ll admit that there’s something comforting about a little canned cheese stuff on a saltine. I wasn’t too pleased when I let it mar my soft pretzel, though.

• Thursday is day one of December 2006, and is the day it’s threatening to get cold and possibly snow a little. If that’s not proof of a benevolent creator who uses the Julian calendar, I don’t know what is. I will bust out the Sigur Ros albums and adjust my other behaviors accordingly.
• It’s December, which means get ready to list things that were good about this year. Maybe things that were bad, too. I haven’t decided what format I’ll use for that this year. I should’ve bookmarked good posts on other people’s blogs for the year so I could list them. I’m not going back over a year’s worth of blogging from all of my favorite people just to make a list, sorry. Maybe I’ll do that next year. Resolution number one.
