Jerzei Collie's journal

The Conan O'Brien stage show last night in Boulder was excellent. I decided not to wear the panda kigurumi. That turned out to be wise because it would have been hot and uncomfortable, not to mention inconvenient for using the restroom. Instead, I wore a bright orange shirt.

I won't give away too many details to avoid spoiling it for those with tickets to future shows. Opening act Reggie Watts did some funny musical numbers, including a curse word rap using a vocal loop sampler. Following the band's opening number, Conan came out and made jokes about Boulder's laid-back reputation ("hippies snowboarding on granola,") Colorado's high altitude/thinner air and his NBC settlement. Andy Richter had many funny bits, including one called "What I've Learned." Tonight Show writer Deon Cole did a great stand-up act. Other bits and characters from the show made appearances, including the "Walker Texas Ranger" lever, The Masturbating Bear and a taped message from Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. Conan and the band also did several musical numbers. Overall, the show was well worth the price of a great seat (6th row center stage.) The drive to Boulder was only about 90 minutes. The drive home took a bit longer, both due to being late at night and taking a couple of wrong turns in Boulder.

I found my backup WiFi adapter this morning. Its software is still on my computer, so I no longer need to run AOL first to get a connection.

• 15:27 @BigBley Ooooooooo! Ahhhhhhhhhhh! I love the quote about the stage & doorway being big enough for "circus animals & Conan's hair." #
• 15:30 Fullbars arrived today. Hoping these will aid me with (and help me stick to) my diet. #
• 18:53 Fullbar is working so far. Took 2 hours ago & ate a Lean Pocket. No desire to snack. #

In other news, the total bill for my medications was $126.  The generic Xanax and Buspar together cost about $14, while the Tegretol was about $112 (almost 1/3 of the regular price.)

A short time before taking over as the new host of The Price Is Right, Drew Carey appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien during Conan's "In The Year 2000" bit. One of Carey's "predictions" was the creation of a new TPIR game called "Two in the Plinko, One in the Stinko." After hearing that, I imagined a contestant wearing that phrase on his/her shirt. I finally got around to creating that visual with my sucky graphics skills...

I considered taking a bath today to relax myself, but I opted instead for a shower and the brandy-filled chocolates I got for Christmas.

I was unable to view the New Year's fireworks show on Pikes Peak because a few of the condo buildings block my view. I watched the Dick Clark special and rang in the New Year by drinking a "Blue Hawaiian" wine cooler. I wish Conan had been able to do a "Central Time Zone countdown" this year. I hope they go back to that next year instead of using Carson Duh-aly.

I filled a box with items I don't use anymore (all but a couple are in perfect shape) to give to Goodwill. I've gone through about half of the bags/boxes of my stuff, so there might be more items I can give away.

Jay Leno is rebroadcasting some of his early, early shows due to the writers strike. It would be great if Letterman, Conan and SNL did the same thing. I watched Conan for a bit during his first year, then resumed watching in 1997 or 1998. I'd love to see Conan (and Andy) from about 1995 to 1999, as well as Letterman in his first few years at CBS when he put a lot more effort into his show.

Actually, I was hoping I could animate my FOOT up your ass! BAM!



This was one of the channels on Conan O'Brien's "Satellite Channels" bit a year or so ago. I finally got the hang of the graphics programs I've been using to make this avatar!
