The Weekend Review

I hope that everyone had a very happy holiday weekend. Looking around our little corner of the blogosphere, it seems like most did.

Chris Nelson is still having a great time with his new wife on their honeymoon in Peru. Beckie wishes everyone a merry Christmas and tells us what she was doing during last week SD bloggers meetup. Brian points us to an interesting map of what generic names people use to call soda by geographic location. (we of course call it soda) Jon Oropeza also wishes San Diego a merry Christmas and shares with us an excerpt of his latest short story, A Romp Through California.

Lyn ate Filipino food for Christmas and scored two new CD’s from two dead musical geniuses. Joelle is thankful to Santa for her new found dimple and I am thankful to Joelle for this picture.

Joe and Leah are now married and offline somewhere in Utah. Derek celebrates Ebeneezer Scrooge. Mitch reviews Elf. Al talks about our geeky enthusiasm for del.icio.us at the SD Bloggers meetup. Alex’s parents met his fiance’s parents and all went well. Steve shares an adorable (did I just really type that?) interruption by his son during a podcast. Carl gives It’s a Wonderful Life a political slant. Indepundit is a fan of Festivus.

In other incredibly important San Diego news:

• Someone made 25 grand for recognizing a Dr. Suess “kangaroo bird”
• Telling someone to quiet down at the movies can get you beat up.
• Exile on Kettner is becoming an institution.
• Two San Diego locals will be on the next season of The Apprentice
