JarvisWell, well, well...we're back from our annual Turkeyday adventure in San Francisco. Of course, the only thing that separates Thanksgiving in San Francisco from any other visit to San Francisco is the actual presence of turkey. Otherwise, just about every jaunt up north results in our eating way too much and spending way too much money. The turkey, incidentally, was delicious.

Also, we watched all the Pulp videos on DVD multiple times and Dana and I came to the unanimous (forgone, really) conclusion that Jarvis Cocker is, as the kids say, "hot." I posited that roughly three-quarters of all Pulp songs are about getting it on, so it stands to reason that the performance of said on-getting songs would result in an overall hotness in the lead singer component.
