Song Lyric of the Day:
Turkey for me / Turkey for you / Let’s eat the turkey / In my big brown shoe / Love to eat the turkey / At the table / I once saw a movie / With Betty Grable / Eat that turkey / All night long / Fifty million Elvis fans / Can’t be wrong
Adam Sandler / “The Thanksgiving Song”

I have Atari thumb. I spent a couple of hours today playing the old-school classics: Galaga, Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Keystone Kapers, and Pitfall. Of course, these old Atari games were played on our PS2, thanks to the games Namco Museum and Activision Anthology. I highly recommend them for anyone who grew up on Atari. Now I just need old-school Frogger.
Since my thumbs were hurting, I decided to take care of some laundry and burn Prison Break to DVD for Jonathan, who, thanks to my endless writeups about the show is interested in watching it. Next show convert: Rich. Bwahahahahaha.

Oy vey, I ate too much turkey. Good thing I wore my stretch-waistband pants to dinner at my parents’ house. Everyone was there–Mom, Dad, Samantha, Shawn, Vanessa, Ken, Tamara, and Rich and I. Great food, great company.
I’ll do cardio and double up on my crunches and leg lifts tomorrow to atone for being a piggy today. For the last three weeks straight, I’ve been doing 125 crunches and 100 leg lifts a day, so my abs are once again visible to the naked eye; I’d really like to maintain that progress.
< -- this is a comment – I’m thankful too babe. TN rocks, family rocks, and yes, I rock. –>
Do the people in Ankara too eat turky?
