post-thanksgiving thanks

This Thanksgiving weekend, I am thankful that:

- Just got news that Julie Delpy, Ethan Hawke and Richard Linklater are starting to discuss ideas for a Before Sunset sequel. That's news I've been waiting for ever since that day in 2004, when I watched the camera faded to black on Julie Delpy doing her best Nina Simone sashay in that Parisian apartment.

- The world didn't end yet. Please wait til I get a chance to hear the new Madonna album, watch both the Hobbit movies, and Dark Knight Rises, and of course the aforementioned Before Sunset sequel.

- Unlike last year at this time, I don't have looming business trips for the new year. While work will continue to be craziness, at least I am staying put for a while.

- Turkey leftover potpie! So easy - just dice up some potatoes and onions and throw them in leftover gravy. Cook til potatoes are almost tender, dump in frozen veggies and turkey. Put whole thing in frozen pie crust and bake til pie is golden.

- Black Friday bounty - which includes a Hoover Steam Vac, Zojirushi water boiler, LOTR Extended Edition and many other blu-rays, seasons 2-7 of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, bamboo chopping boards from TruBamboo, Timbuk2 laptop backpack from 6pm, etc. I love online shopping. It's better than crack.

- Canaan bread from Sheng Kee and cranberry/pear scone from Arizmendi - carbs rock!

- The Pats win again and lead their division - 2 games ahead of the Jets. Word.
