Never Gonna Give Up The Friday Finisher

Hey, remember back when I used to blog every day, and I put up a funny video every Friday? Those days are back. And in case you missed it last Thursday, here’s a moment of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade that we won’t soon forget.

By the way, in keeping with the new eastvillageidiot.com, here’s another new development: I’m on Twitter as @evillageidiot. Follow me to freedom! Or… uh… just follow me.

I have a party next weekend in which I need to wear an ugly Christmas sweater. Since I’m so fashion-forward, I obviously don’t have any ugly Christmas sweaters. So I thought about who I should ask, and one person came to mind: my mom. So I called her.

“So, I need an ugly Christmas sweater,” I began, ”and… well, I don’t mean to offend you, but you have a lot of ugly Christmas sweaters.”

My mom likes moose, so she has a lot of moose memorabilia around the house, and at least two or three sweaters with moose or other antlered creatures on them. She was not offended, but insisted “they’re not ugly - they’re just kitschy!

I might rummage through a thift shop this weekend, because the ugly Christmas sweater trend seems to be on the rise lately. I don’t really see the point of investing in a sweater I’m only going to wear once a year, but I have to dress to impress, you know.

That’s it for this week. Thanks for visiting and making it a great first week back in action. Spread the word that I’m back, by the way! I can only tell so many people without sounding like a broken record. Have a great weekend, and I’ll catch up with you all again next week.

    I think the thrift shops are all out - apparently Ugly Xmas Sweater parties are all the rage - but eBay has a rollicking trade in these things.

    I may have an extra…

    Is a vest okay?
