Cheer Up

It's going to be a wet cold nasty kind of weekend, I'm broke, and I'm tired. I need a good cheering up. Let's talk about happy things!

1-GOOD TIMES, MAN. GOOD TIMES.

2-I have been hearing mumblings of a very exciting upcoming movie project. It involves Tim Burton (who I love) Johnny Depp (duh, you know how I feel about him) and Helena Bonham Carter as well as Sacha Baron "I em comeeng to get you Wrrrricky Booby" Cohen. Can you imagine that movie set? With two "method actors" who insist on staying in character all day? I think I'm going to spend a day in character next week.



How lovely are Tim and Helena? I adore them. They're like Johnny and Vanessa from the dark side. Or...wait, are Johnny and Vanessa already from the dark side? You know, I have a picture of Jethro and I and we look almost exactly like this. Except we were running because we were trying to get away from the security guards who were chasing us off the red carpet. And we were wearing winter coats because you have to at a Canadian awards show held in April. And Jethro would not ever wear shades like that. And also I don't fill out a dress like our girl Helena does. But other than that.

3-This morning we went to two parent- teacher interviews. Our children are so odd. I think that is all I got to say about that.

NO wait, I got more. "Mrs Gump, this is average..."

Jethro is a big fella. He has long dark hair with a few unruly streaks of grey. He wears a Harley Davidson belt buckle with the word LEGENDARY on it. He does not own a Hawg but he is Legendary. He's not going to these interviews in the usual Daddy uniform here in the town of Affluencia, which generally consists of a tie and shoes that don't.

I love my family.

4-If you want to read something GOOD today....I need to send you HERE, to Biddie's blog. Be sure to tell her how brilliant she is when you're done!

5-My backyard is underwater, and thanks to the Traumatic Construction Project of 2005... my house is not underwater! YAY!

6-Last week I was back on a Led Zeppelin phase. I pig out on Zeppelin every couple of months. Jethro was home the other night, and we were in the kitchen...he is a fine cook...while listening to Physical Graffiti. Robert Plant launched into a moan that stopped me dead in my tracks. "THAT," I said to Jethro, "is what completely rewired my head when I was 15." Jethro grinned lecherously. "And I will always be grateful to Robert Plant for that."

7-I'm just now sliding back into a Red Hot Chili Peppers phase. Come back next week and I'll tell you all about bloodsugarsexmagik.

8-And on that happy note....since yesterday was all about plaid flannel and nice bums...I think women should have big bums and men should have tiny bums. And I want those jeans. I got nothing more to say about this.
