Today on Wikipedia:

Sesame Street! Finally, after one entire day of waiting, a topic which I can give some important opinions on.

Actually, I take that back. While I seem to remember watching a lot of Sesame Street as a kid, I don't really have a complete vision of it anymore. All I remember are key bits, like Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, and Snuffleupagus, whose first name I've just learned is Aloysius.

Combine the fact that I remember very little about Sesame Street with the fact that the only thing I hear about it any more is that they're adding some other minority character or disabled muppet to teach children about equality and sensitivity, and I think Sesame Street is really going down the tubes. Maybe sometime soon I'll actually watch an episode of Sesame Street and confirm my suspicions.

Now news abut my life:

Not too much to report today, except that for the first time in my recollection, I'm going to admit that Oprah was right about something: Ezell's Fried Chicken. I visited this corner chicken shack (recently expanded to five corners around Seattle) from which Oprah reportedly had her chicken airlifted on at least one occasion. If I was Oprah, I would've never slimmed down after having Ezell's chicken - but my weight would have fluctuated cyclically as I chose between greaseless, tender original and the tangy, crispy spicy recipe. Along with a tiny styrofoam container of *actual* mashed potatoes and a few sweet, yeasty biscuits, pretty soon I'd have to be brought to work with a forklift by the fire department.

Actually, I'd probably just work from home. Ezell's delivers.
