(a very confused 20 year old would also like to ask the brains behind Nick at Nite about the sudden promotion of shows like Home Improvement and Fresh Prince of Bel-Air to classic status, while nearly an entire decade of much better quality television, namely The Cosby Show and Saved by the Bell seem to have been skipped. I am not happy about this decision and will fight to the death in order to see Zach and Slater grace the screen once again.)
Anyway, since I already told all you faithful readers about my favorite thing about Christmas (see previous two posts), I figured I would use this one to tell you about some of the "stuff" I got, which is much less important, but still exciting. so here goes:
- MacBook laptop. okay, so I don't technically have this one yet, but I got some money for a start towards it, and hopefully it will be in my hands in the next week or two. around the same time, I will return to a regular diet of ramen noodles and grilled cheeses, and go on dates with said laptop, instead of with girls, because the macbook will, in comparison, be already paid for. (all of these events occuring immediately after buying a laptop out of pocket is a complete coincidence, of course.) hey, why not do stupid stuff while you're still in college and have an excuse for being stupid, right??
- Everything Must Change. Brian McLaren, in this semi-sequel to The Secret Message of Jesus, writes about how the message of the kingdom of God can, in many ways, provide real solutions to fighting the world's major problems of hunger, prosperity gaps, and war--stuff like that. not light reading to say the least. I'm almost done with it, and if you want a book to make you feel really uneasy yet really motivated at the same time, I say go for it. seriously.
- Wide Open Spaces and Divine Nobodies. These are both by Jim Palmer. I haven't really dug into them that much yet, but I'm sure, if you're a regular reader here, you will hear about them in the near future. the cover illustrations look real pretty though.
- Royal Dansk Danish Butter Cookies. I think I got 5 cans total, and they're pretty much all gone. these can light up my Christmas more than a hundred dollar bill. (okay, maybe a fifty. or a twenty, or...)
- Barnes & Noble Gift Cards. Talk about a gift that keeps on giving.

Kent,
Start the petition to add Saved by the Bell to Nick at Nite and I'll sign on to the cause-make sure it's the original series and not the college years!
Glad you liked your cookies! Thanks to you, the Brown Boys are now fans of the "blue can" cookies!
I think Cosby is on Nick at Nite. But there are more shows that should be there before the Fresh Prince.
Hey, Since you are speaking of those of the slightly older generation I'm up for a good fight. Let's have a sit-in outside the Nick at Nite headquarters. That is someting I've never done.
By the way there are NO better cookies on the market. I'll be feeling your pain in a couple of days when my supply is gone.
Do you want to hear something RIDICULOUS (did I spell that right?)that I found out last night? George Lopez is Nick at Nite material too! I'm not believing that!
this new nick at nite policy are, in the eloquent words of Ron Paul, "PREPOSTEROUS!!!" I agree with Mark, let's stage a sit-in. Just as soon as I figure out where the headquarters is. hmm...
Maybe we can stage a multi-site-sit-in. We could shoot for a sit-in in all major cities in the country. Who knows we may get global with it.
