Good afternoon, y'all,
It's Monday, yes, but it's Columbus Day, and neither Chris nor I have the day off. Blech. Corporate bastards. As if a day on which to celebrate Christopher Columbus' erroneous "discovery" of an already-inhabited continent while trying to search for a western route to the Orient were not in order for us all! Anyway, I think I'd rather take today to celebrate director Chris Columbus, who "founded" some of my favorite film classics, such as Rent, Adventures in Babysitting and, of course, The Goonies. And here at CW, there's always room for another Chris on the pedestal. Here's to you, Chris!
Now on to the weekend recap. As Chris is in the midst of the 2007 NFL [No Freaking Life] football season, my weekend was low-key but nice. Saturday evening we watched Virginia Tech kick the paws off Clemson with disappointed-but-thankful-to-have-been-nominated October Friend-of-Chris Runner-Up Tim H., as we grilled fresh prawns and scallops Chris and I had picked up earlier at the wharf in DC. None of those Long John Silver's party platters at our crib. With a big day at FedEx Field looming ahead for the big guy, we turned in around midnight after catching a few skits on SNL. Sunday, I got in a little shopping and a marathon nap with The Mar while Chris did the football thing with Andy, Tim H. and his brother CHRIS H. Another Chris! We love it!
CW caught up with its favorite Chris after the fun, but unjustly abbreviated, weekend:
CW: How's it feel to be behind a desk right now when a good portion of
Chris: Being at work on Columbus Day sucks. The only good thing about it is that government workers don't get the Friday after Thanksgiving off. The Skins win yesterday eases the pain of another work week.
CW: But at least you’ve got a good weekend in your rear view mirror, with two big wins and some tasty grub, right?
Chris: All three of my teams won this weekend. Michigan held off a weak Eastern Michigan team, VT's defense shoved it down Clemson's throat all night, and the Skins offense showed up big, for the first time all year, against the Lions. Also, their defense looked pretty good, giving up only three points to a Detroit team that has been advertised lately as being "high powered."
CW: What were some of your weekend highlights?
Chris: The seafood we picked up at the DC waterfront fish market was damn good during the Tech game Saturday night. Huge sea scallops and perfectly marinated shrimp. Next time we're gettin' the HUGE prawns.
CW:You got some big news this weekend: it’s rumored that one Josh Bode is coming back to town? Why will CW readers like Josh?
Chris: I have heard but cannot confirm that Josh is moving back to the area. I'm not the only one who would be thrilled by his move back. I wonder if things would be different if his beloved Oregon State footballers were having a better year? CW readers will like Josh because he's fun, funny and has the patience of a saint. It can be trying to make plans with me due to my irrational, delusional concept of time, but Josh handles duress with finesse.
CW: In other big news, J. Lo will soon announce her pregnancy, possibly on tonight's Late Show! Care to be the first to comment?
Chris: I know that J. Lo and her husband Marc have been struggling with infertility, so I'm happy as hell for them. I've always thought that, with those resources and that booty, she would be a great mother and role model for girls everywhere. And to hear that she's expecting twins?? Ay dios mio!
