1. None. Wife has no vacation time left so we’re homebound. Which is actually fine.
2 Nope.
3. I got nothin’.
4. Who did who with the what now?
5. Don’t like costumes.
6. Food and family. My favorite Thanksgiving was about 15 years ago, I flew to Reno (most of my fam lives there) and was there for a total of about 47 hours and in every one of those hours that I was awake I had a drink in my hand and there was food being consumed. I love my family.
7 and 8. WHEN THE FUCK WILL IT STOP BEING OVER 90 DEGREES FOR GOOD THIS YEAR? I love summer like crazy, but this is seriously getting ridiculous. I want some of those great fall days, when it’s 75 during the day and cold at night.

(i’m really not this cranky of a person, but your questions are mostly about things for which I care not…)

1. Since I have a 4-6 pm class on Wednesday, I’m not going back for the holidays, so my mom decided she’d come and visit me here, which is kind of cool.
2. I don’t have a console, or a TV most of the year and when I do I’m catching up on games from 5-10 years ago. It’s the Metal Gear Solid series this time around.
3. It depends on whether the defense is back in working order.
4. I have never had a fantasy football team. Or a fantasy sports team of any sort.
5. Uh… I… no, not really. I’ll come up with something that require minimal effort. I may have to go out and do something though, it’s a friend’s birthday.
6. Food, definitely. It helps that on my dad’s side of the family, my grandpa was a chef and everyone else has some training. We don’t do anything extraordinarily fancy, but it’s always good.
7. 70-80 degrees in NYC, no fall colors yet.
8. When summer was entailing 80 degrees and high humidity, yes, but otherwise we haven’t really had a summer. June here was like May in Seattle.

1. Telling my girlfriend’s multiple families that we’re going out of town, but then not going and just hanging out by ourselves for once.
2. It’s a long list this year. Assassin’s Creed 2 is giving me a raging clue. Other than that, FIFA 10, Modern Warfare 2, Afrika (this could easily suck but I’m intrigued), Ratchet & Clank, The Ballad of Gay Tony, the God of War Collection, The Saboteur.
3. I’m not super confident.
4. Let me break down exactly how awesome my fantasy team is:

[TO THE BOX!]

5. I went to a costume party a couple of months ago, and that’s my one for the decade. I despise costume parties. I’ve always found partying while wearing pants that fit me to be sufficiently fun.
6. Watching football on (relatively) chilly afternoons, with all the windows open and a sweatshirt on. It feels cleansing. And not that the summer ever stops me from enjoying stouts, but they’re a little bit more awesome in the fall.
7. San Diego’s been annoyingly warm the past few days.
8. I get fed up with summer sometime around April.

1.Not at the moment, but my off days are about the change, so I might end up with something.
2.Command and Conquer 4. Which looks to be the final chapter of the Tiberium storyline.
3.Don’t care
4.Don’t have one.
5.Not yet.
6.Food
7.Not that weird, happens every few years it seems
8.Kinda

1. None
2. No
3. No
4. Don’t have one
5. I hate Halloween
6. Hmmm… Lions or Cowboys. Those are two teams I wanna watch! So I’ll take others.
7. Its too god damn hot
8. Only because I hate snow more

How many more genuinely nice things can Sweeney do before the end of the year?

they banned cloves? How will sensitive coffeehouse poets properly express their angst now?

1. The usual— pray for high snow-levels in the passes on the major holidays.
2. Don’t play video games, never have.
3. If the 12th Man gets behind them.
4. My huh? wha?
5. No, but it has ti follow the 3 rules. Have to be able to sit in it, eat in it, and get into the bathroom with it,
6. Pie.
7. Pretty, though.
8. I like summer, I like fall. Mostly the end of summer means the return of many students on campus, and checking weather-related websites (see #1)

• Same as always I would imagine; work Thanksgiving Day, work Christmas Eve, get loaded on winter ale, drive my hungover ass to Olympia, endure an awkward dinner with the family, open extended family gifts, attempt to appear grateful for whatever was on sale at Costco, hang out with my parents and sister after they leave and proceed to talk shit about my extended family for a few hours over mulled wine.
    
• At some point soon I will have an HDTV. Shortly thereafter I will have a PS3. I will start paying attention to new video games again at that point. For now I’ll stick with NCAA ’08.

• Maybe!

• If baseball season taught me anything it is that not even I care about my fantasy team.

• Going to see the Seattle Symphony Orchestra perform a live score to “Psycho” and I plan to wear a suit.

• Food. Were it just my mom, dad and sister it would be family but since that isn’t the case, food all the way.

• High 80s yesterday. Glorious.

• God no.

    * Like Teej we are telling everyone we will be out of town but we will most likely just post up at home and do nothing.
    * None
    * No idea, they looked terrible last week.
    * I cannot stand fantasy football for some reason. Fantasy baseball is much more fun for me.
    * I’ll dress up as a kind and considerate individual.
    * Pecan pie made by my wife
    * Colors haven’t changed a whole lot yet far as I can tell.
    * Fall always depresses me, so no I would prefer summer continue.

1. My family has a tradition for the holidays that we’ll probably just do again this year. We go over to my uncle’s for Thanksgiving, the rest of my family comes over to our house for Christmas Eve, and then we go back to my uncle’s the next night.

2. Modern Warfare 2 (which I probably won’t get until Christmas. Sorry, SB! ;) ), GTA IV: TBoGT and Left 4 Dead 2 are the games I’m really looking forward to this year. I didn’t really like the first Mass Effect, so I doubt that I’ll even rent it. I probably will ended up renting Assassin’s Creed 2 at some point, although it doesn’t seem like the kind of game I would want to buy.

3. Depends on how badly Cutler does, whether we get Tats and Bane back and if we can sign a decent stop-gap cornerback.

4. I’m 1-1. I lost my most recent game by around 12 points, mostly because neither my tight end, nor LT played. Also Misfit had Drew Brees on his team, so…

5. Nah… I’ll probably just sit around and watch scary movies all night this year.

6. Definitely football. I’ve never been a big fan of the traditional Thanksgiving food and my family always gets into a big argument whenever we’re all together.

7. Not 95 in Seattle, luckily, so I wouldn’t know.

8. I’m glad. I’m really a winter-person (I love snow and it’s easier to warm yourself up when you’re cold then cool yourself off when you’re hot, I feel), and, aside that it means no school, I hate the summer.

This game will decide whether football is still dead to me* or whether we can be friends again.

Ref: ‘The worst sunday derby of all time’.

Taking the week off during thanksgiving and 2 weeks during christmas. Probably going to go snowboarding and get drunk with my wifes family on Thanksgiving – And then enjoy Christmas with my family down in Tacoma.

Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3 Game of the Year edition, Left 4 Dead 2 and there was something else…. What else is coming out?

Maybe? I hope they will but I’m not holding my breathe

Aaron Rodgers and Steve Slaton are killing me.

Green Man Bitches!

Food, Football, Booze and not having to do anything.

Its pleasant.

Yes – I’m really looking forward to raining/windy walks with my wife again.

That sound you hear is my brain asploding from awesomeness.

Note to self: never say you like baseball on anything ever.
