Saturday Night at a Synagogue?
Yup, that's right. I spent my Saturday night in the historic synagogue, Sixth in the City. Why you ask? To laugh my head off. As you may know, I'm a huge fan of the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Well, on the show, my favorite fake news correspondent is Rob Corddry who has to be the silliest man alive. He gave a "talk" at this synagogue about the behind the scenes of the Daily Show. Hence, I laughed my head off in a synagogue last night.
Afterwards, we managed to get a photo with him...
On a similar subject, a friend of mine works for Congressman Schiff's office who was recently interviewed by Steven Colbert for the Colbert Report show. Apparently many of the questions were focus on Schiff's position on Armenian issues... my friend told me he had some pretty funny jokes on the subject. It should air this week on Comedy Central.
On the bad news front, System cancelled Souls, but we were lucky to have it for as long as we did I suppose. I just wish I could have experienced it.
I'm on my last few days of work, which ends Wednesday, so I'm looking forward to some free time to relax. YAY! It's been too long. From there, I go to New York for some family reunion time. It's been too long since I have been able to hang with family free of worries. This is my chance. I miss them a lot and I can't wait to catch up with them for no reason whatsoever. There's no holiday, no party, no nothing. My mom and I are driving up (sadly my dad can't make it), my cousin and his wife are flying out from LA, my aunt and uncle are driving up, and my sister and her husband, and my cousin and her husband and all the in-laws are already there. Family is everything in the world... everything. Nothing else matters for anything. Those who have a great family (even the disfunctional ones) should be grateful. I know I am.

Colbert and Armenian issues. That should be fun. Do you know what day will it air exactly?
My friend who works in Schiffs office JUST told me that it might be tonight, but he wasn't 100%. At least if you miss it, you can catch the rerun the next day... OR possibly see it online on comedycentral.com for those of you outside of the US.
I watched it last night (from TiVo, it must've run ither weds or thursday this week). Schiff's district is "next door" (I'm in Dreier's). The introduction mentioned the flock of Parrots from these parts (which cracked me up. Now the wild parrots are national comedy central news) but there was NOTHING about Armenian issues in the segment. The underlying gag was asking Schiff about how much money he spent getting elected, and then how he immediately sponsored legislation to outlaw what he'd just done. Then the rest of the segment featured gags where Colbert tried to bribe Schiff to take a crisp hundred dollar bill (Oh, I dropped that, can you pick it up for me? Schiff: no. ....and so on.)
