I Feel A Sin Coming On



My sister posted this picture of Eddie on Facebook and I just had to have it for myself. She and JD of Chicago fame said they never stopped laughing the whole time . . . which makes me wonder if I might have been in a funk, or a delirious stupor, when TallL and I saw the show. I enjoyed the show in a 'isnt this a fun, and enteraining spiel' kind of way, but not in a 'I'm laughing so hard my face hurts' way.

People sitting around us were definitely cracking up, including Lolling Head Guy. Therefore I deduce I must have brought the mediocre sense of humor with me instead of the good one. And loving Eddie Izzard the way I do, I'll give him a second chance to knock my socks off when the dvd comes out. (If I had it do over, would I still go? Heck yeah I'd go - it's Eddie!)

Jonesy - You Can Do Better

I was so looking forward to seeing Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, just like I had looked forward to the three movies that preceded it. The fourth Jones movie was highly anticipated and eagerly awaited by me. Finally! A good flick was coming down the pike - one that I'd probably add to my "BelovED Favorite Films of All Time" list.

But it was not to be. The script was cheesy, not funny. And except for Harrison Ford, the acting was, well, it was bad. I LIKE Kate Blanchet, but she wasnt believable as bad Russian commrade. And if the actress who played Marion USED to have skills, she lost them somewhere between Raiders and Skull.

AND it was predictable. sigh.

On the other hand and on a completely different note, I accidentally found a plaid pair of skorts that I'm just loving.

We're moving to a place that has one of these:

Nuff said.

. . . and the results are . . .

. . . NOT pregnant!

Whew! Amazing how 4 or 5 days of semi-angst can eat at you.

We'll probably try for a little spawn of our own this year (when we have relocated to job(s) and obtain insurance for kiddos,) but a baby at this particular juncture would have been . . . challenging.
