BEATLES ROCK BAND NEWS!!!!
The Daily News
1 Here’s the main trouble with diets: food is SO good.
2 Last night during Glee, we all hit one of those, “HEY SCREW THE DIET!” zones that everyone goes through.
3 It was never a question of restraint.
4 It was a debate over the virtues of POPCORN vs. ICE CREAM. Mind you, this is not some Jolly Time pebbles; we talked ORVILLE’S stuff man, and that includes REAL butter.
5 Ice cream was massive quantities with cinnamon and sugar sprinkled on the top.
6 Yes, we were outta chocolate, but to the masses, it didn’t matter.
7 I was thinkin’ popcorn, since there was no chocolate.
8 But I technically started my 9,742nd diet on Tuesday, so it was a tough call.
9 The crickets outside screamed, “Ice cream, you fool!” but the thought of popcorn danced through my eyeballs, and my re-acquaintance with butter after having watched Julie and Julia a while back made room in my “diet” for butter.
10 I call it the Popcorn and Butter Diet.
11 New Rule: Anytime Glee is on , it’s okay to have Popcorn and Butter.
12 Any other time, no.
13 Works for me.
14 Yeesh.
15 How do ya live through it all?
16 I was always fond of my Bigger Clothes Diet. It involves buying all brand new clothes a size bigger. Works temporarily, but once the cold weather hits, the coats can run high.
17 Yeah.
18 Now there WAS a time that I woulda had Ice Cream AND Popcorn and Butter, but there really isn’t the diet in the books that would allow that.
19 I also liked the Donut Diet. That SOUNDS worse than it is, because yes, you DO eat donuts, but only the ones with the holes in them. THAT’S where you cut the calories.
20 Well, they all go by the wayside. I once tried the Scarsdale Diet, and now sort of understand why famous Dr. Scarsdale was murdered by his assistant.
21 Some scandal back-in-the-day. That diet allowed a billion vegetables and almost nothing else. Works.
22 Anyway, I DEFINITELY will start my new diet today.
23 I SWEAR to you.
24 Moving on: I would be remiss in my duties if I failed to mention the latest Beatles hype. The Beatles Rock Band rocks the nation, and looks to be one of the better games one can get, and reasonably priced. I’m guessing it’s going to take the world by storm, so I hope that people enjoy it. I’m not really a game player, but this one looks like it would be a fun go. We shall see; we shall see.
25 Meanwhile, Amoeba Music, along with HMV group from the UK have released remastered versions of many Beatles’ albums. Hot sellers, and lots of quality, but the original masters were made with great care originally anyway. Worth a look, but pricey from my perspective.
26 At some point, I do intend to get to Vegas to see Circue du Soliel’s LOVE, which I understand is far and away the best Cirque show ever. I could be mistaken, but that’s been the talk around town.
27 Moving on, Part the Second: I didn’t get an opportunity to see Obama’s speech on health, so I’ll hold off on that one ’til maybe tomorrow.
28 Meanwhile, I think I’m gonna sign off now and cook up some popcorn, and MAYBE even cheat with a little ice cream.
29 After all, my diet may need to start today.
30 Happy Thursday, yo.
31 Peace, Love, and Diet Donuts.
