Whine & Dine
TGIF!
Tastes great, it’s fine.
Friday is a great day to get outside of our comfort zones and try new things. This includes our sometimes restrictive food palate. A fun ritual is to pick a new restaurant (fancy or hole-in-the-wall) and taste something you’ve never dared to experience before. Relax in knowing this doesn’t mean indulging at the Anthony Bourdain-extreme, but just a small food item or drink would suffice.
An entire meal is more fun though, especially if it’s broken into six-courses. If you can, get Jimmy Fallon and Blake Shelton to sit at your table.
Sake really is the bomb.
There’s Dumb & There’s, You Know…
Summer, like a right angle, is just around the corner.
With the sun shining and birds singing, the time for planning that wondrous vacation has arrived. Let’s face it, there are three ways to travel: By air, by sea or by automobile.
Luckily, a lantern is no longer necessary for making this critically important decision.
In order to see the real Americana, everybody knows the experience of getting there is half the fun. Does this mean traveling Griswold-style in a wood panel station wagon? Yes. And it also means spotting a nice, tall building in your downtown, tipping it on its side, strapping some wheels on it and driving that across the country.
If you’re daring enough to accept this challenge, then Jeff Daniels has a few tips, which includes counting to three.
My guess is Jeff Daniels got his kicks on Route 66…as in literal kicks from his wife.
A Great Great Show
What’s the only logical way to kick-off a long weekend?
An intense rap battle with Ross from Friends, Late Late Show host James Corden and special guest Rebel Wilson is correct.
Whether in the car singing karaoke or dropping the mic Eminem-style, we’ll be there for you James Corden to see what you do next.
Including David Schwimmer.
Happy Monday!
It’s a case we prefer not to carry.
Mondays are tough, with no easy way of transitioning from the relaxing nature of the weekend to the early start of the busy workweek. If we could simply wave goodbye to Monday, that would be ideal, wouldn’t it?
Seems easy enough.
Except, just when you think the case of the Mondays is gone and everything is better, this unrelenting force of surprising necessity reappears next to the piano player in your rec room.
Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling, continuing their unconventional (yet highly-entertaining and effective) promotion for The Nice Guys, sat down for an interview with Stephen Colbert on the Late Show on CBS. Their segment demonstrated that sometimes we need the things we push away the hardest. Without Monday, there would be no “Happy Monday!” courtesy of Jimmy’s Daily Planet to make the jump back to work more fun, inspiring and, above all else, a little easier.
Monday, please come back around (but only on the once-a-week schedule).
Have a Very Nice, Happy Monday!
P.S. The Nice Guys arrives in theaters this Friday, May 20th.
