I'd like to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season and New Year. Please, don't drink and drive, drink and fight or drink and become a raging lunatic, taking up three lanes of traffic because the police has pulled you over and found you ass-naked in -50 below zero weather, doing bunny hops. And Nigel is yelling at me because I keep shouting out the window "Arrest him or let the show go on."
Oh yeah, don't drink too much at the holiday party either, and shout out the window at the police and an inebriated idiot.
Oh, memories of 2003's New Year's eve.

More on the Apprentice Fiasco
Okay, so Nigel starts reminding me that The Apprentice will be re-airing on CNBC, and that I should take a look at it "without biased eyes." Nigel wanted me to sit down and watch the show again and to "pay particular attention to how Kelly handles crisis compared to Jen."
Fine. So I did.
And after watching the show again, I'm even more pissed off. Yes, the boardroom was hellish, but even more perturbing is the guy from X-box who went psycho on Jen because the power blew. Now, granted, I know the company was "spending a lot of money on this," and it was Jen's duty to make sure every aspect of the event was in order -- including engineering. BUT...I just know if Jen had been a man, that guy would have been more understanding that SHIT HAPPENS, and everything can't just fall together. He probably would have joked around, told Kelly: "Hey, do your best, but we need to get this power going." Instead of being very nasty to Jen by saying: "I don't want your people coming to me asking me anything. Fix the problem now."
And what did Nigel say after I made this very same point to him? "I think the guy would have been even nastier to Kelly, because he wouldn't have to be as gentle to man."
Argh! I give up.
So for the sake of both our sanity, we've decided to just drop it, and focus our collective energy into hoping Maurice from The Biggest Loser wins. Hey, that will be two for three: Eva from America's Next Top Model and Maurice. I got my fingers crossed.
