The Real World: DC
December 30th @ 10pm
My god, its here…
You know…… I remember thinking that they should film it in DC….. but that was a long long time ago…. It’s weird to see all the beautiful locations and backgrounds and having a trivial conversation or conflict. :-P I am so not watching this.

Here’s what I wish for all of you having family Thanksgivings. I wish for you calm waters. Family is hard. Family is trying. Old scores and grudges come back to haunt you, old annoyances come back to life, and you have to weather it all, without losing your cool and decking someone. No matter how much Uncle Ted deserves it.
So yeah. Calm waters. I am the water. The rock crumbles, and the fish rises against, but I am the water.
Zen.

I’m told Presidents Eisenhower and Johnson actually ate their turkeys. You can’t fault them for that; that’s a good-looking bird. President Kennedy was even given a turkey with a sign around its neck that said, “Good Eatin’, Mr. President.” But he showed mercy and he said, “Let’s keep him going.” And 20 years ago this Thanksgiving, the first President Bush issued the first official presidential pardon for a turkey.
Today, I am pleased to announce that thanks to the interventions of Malia and Sasha — because I was planning to eat this sucker — “Courage” will also be spared this terrible and delicious fate. Later today, he’ll head to Disneyland, where he’ll be grand marshal of tomorrow’s parade.
