Fucking Endless Space Mountain

I drove up to my dad's land in West Virginia this weekend to visit. He's really done a lot with the space already, planting trees and building stuff. It is on the Greenbrier River which is really rugged. The leaves are changing right now and the drive through the mountains was beautiful. His land is in the middle of nowhere ... if West Virginia really has a somewhere. The roads were like fucking endless Space Mountain, so the driving was a little ralph-tastic. We went into the nearest town for great dinner on Saturday night and I was really surprised how mesmerized by the quaintness I was. Were it not for the hills, I would visit a lot more often.

Saturday Night Live was surprisingly good this weekend. When I heard Amy Poehler was gone to see a man about a horse, that I might have to gauge my own eyes with a rusty spoon. But Weekend Update was handled well without her and the little song to her at the end of the segment was so cute. I also loved the Obama Variety Half-Hour ... when JFK tells Obama that he is the true successor to his legacy and Bill comes out and says, "Guys! I am right here." Classic. But my favorite sketch by FAR was "Two A-Holes at an Ad Agency in the 1960s." There were so many Mad Men-dependent nuances that I don't have the time or energy to explain here, but if you enjoy Mad Men, go check out the clip on Hulu. And if you don't enjoy Mad Men, please go rent the DVDs and catch up. It is a fantastic show.
