Bob Saget was a stand-up comedian. He worked blue. A lot. Then he worked for ABC. Then he directed that Norm Macdonald movie nobody saw. Now he's in that Pauly Shore category of former celebrities that people mock. And I can't find any of his comedy albums or anything on amazon.com, if he ever had any. I know he's had at least one HBO special. I've seen it. And the thing I remember was that even when he was telling a dirty joke, he still had the personality of a sitcom father, which lent a tasty bit of dissonance to the performance. Much like his cameo on Half-Baked, which got a great reaction in the theater when I saw it, and the audio of it can be found on your favorite peer-to-peer file-sharing network.

I just spent about a half hour just walking around, looking at the clouds.
When I left work, the sun was white-bright in the southwest, but the sky was pitch-black in the north. And as the sun set, the shadows shifted, and light puffy clouds revealed themselves in a light gray haze, while some other light clouds hung in the background, even as they gave windows into the blue sky behind them, making it almost appear as if it were a black sky with blue and white clouds. It was darkest to the east, where the darkest dark grey swirled into a vortex of black, reminding me of a cave. And just when I thought it couldn't get any better, a rainbow appeared.
I stopped my my house, but I just couldn't stay there while those clouds were outside, awaiting my gaze. I ventured back out, without sunglasses, despite that the sun had a few minutes left to set; I trusted the clouds to shield my eyes from it. I walked to the apartment complex next door, and walked among its buildings. The landscaping is much better there; there are more trees, thicker grass, and this one spot where the trees are especialy thick and creat a nice, secluded dark place, with a single spherical sidewalk light in the middle, breaking the silence.
I returned to my complex, and spent a good five minutes just standing in the parking lot, looking around... at this point, the sun had dipped just below the horizon, creating bright yellow clouds to the west and faint, dull red ones to the east. I watched people come and go, until the magic faded, and the clouds started to look all normal.
When I returned home, I felt more at home than I have in months.
I wish I could feel like this anytime.
