amy sedaris didn't even lift her dress...

I saw Strangers with Candy - The Movie the other night. I quite enjoyed myself as did the rest of the audience. I laughed a lot - I thought the translation from cable TV to movie was great - of course with Stephen Colbert, Paul Dinello & Amy Sedaris - how could it NOT be funny?
My friend got some schmancy tickets with the amazing bonus of Amy Sedaris showing up for a Q & A. And, the bonus had a bonus as Paul Dinello was there as well! Holy holy - what a treat! Of course there was the usual lame audience questions - but it was fun to hear Ms. Sedaris address these crazy people. At one point she actually asked a woman 'How many drinks have you had?'. The AFI hostess who conducted the Q & A, was obviously pregnant. Ms. Sedaris asked her 'Are you keeping the baby?'. It was the first thing she said when the Q & A began. BA! So all in all the evening was a terrific amount of fun - my only real disappointment (look, I expected people to ask lame questions so that was no surprise) was that Ms. Amy Sedaris sat very ladylike in her directors chair. When I've seen her on Late Night, she usually lifts her skirt a bit as she settles & re-settles in her seat.

the soul is in the bowl

Dig what I spotted in the frozen aisle at my local grocery store tonight!

The soul is definitely in the bowl - it tasted pretty good. Thanks Smokey!

marquee prank

Perhaps the pranksters ran out of time ('leam' should have been 'lame'). It happened lickety split... When Garrett and I left home to take a walk around the block, the sign was 'normal'. When we returned from the walk, 'learn' had become 'leam'.

a horse walks into a bar...

Bartender says to the horse 'Why the long face"?


I chaperoned Garrett's class to the equestrian center last week. He wanted to be the official photographer so I have about fifty photos just like these first two:


Top sign says: Needle collectors at end of barn" and the lower one says "Dump manure & shavings at end of barn".


I thought this one was neat looking:


And we got to see some of the Budweiser horses up close - mighty large!
