All mothers have daughter radar and they look us over the minute we aren't paying attention. I have to go eat some vegetables/potato chips and get out Spamalot. I just stopped singing that one and now it won't leave my head again. May the WIP's progress! Jenny, what part of you thought you could go home and your mother would not notice a tatoo?

Potato chips DO count as vegetables; even though they are a carb, carbs are the staff of life. So, you know. Eat on. "trailer trash license plate" Now I will not sleep. For giggling about your Christmas. And finally, apropos of nothing, do you have a copy of Rick Bayless's cookbook "Authentic Mexican"? Bill and I have been snorfling at the Tortilla Soup for a week now. It's so good we can't stop, but it's driven him to buy a treadmill for downstairs. Come stop by on the way to your favorite Canadian writer's conference and I will make it for you, with fresh homemade stock and all. Back to writing. Party on, babe. OK. Well.

And the Girl Scouts' new Cafe Cookies are the absolute perfect crispy cookies (and that says a lot coming from a Thin Mint addict). It's probably a good thing they only sell these things six weeks a year. Jenny – you are so right about peppermint tea and crispy cookies.

You shove a toothpick into each Peep, like they're holding little wooden lances and then you put them in the microwave, facing each other, and nuke them until one of them puffs up large enough to cause his lance to stab the other one. If two people are playing then the person with the losing Peep has to clean the microwave. Have you tried Peeps jousting?

It was great fun seeing all those scenes from the famous Monty Python movies! And Eric Idle was sitting five rows in front of us...I swear it was him. I even googled his pic afterwards and that man looked exactly like his pic (older, of course) from The Life of Brian. The best show EVAH. Laughed myself silly at the Dark Knight skit. Sang along with Bright Side of Life. And the Diva...man, she was so gorgeous! Question: was Bob not distracted by the bevy of beauties dancing everywhere? Maybe that's why he was skipping.

"i'm going home to sleep with my wife" is the best one because they all did it, which is the way it should be. but anyway: clue, excellent excellent film. but thats not saying much, as i would watch tim curry in anything, even home alone 2. spamalot is also fantatsic, i saw it last may. although i think i may actually like hairspray better. tim curry in clue is the absolute movie. even without tim curry the movie would still be good, just not great anymore. the characters are…they’re fantastic and eminently quotable. if you haven’t seen the movie, you need to. and if you saw it in theaters, it still needs to be rented because there are actually three endings. “i’m going home to sleep with my wife” is the best one because they all did it, which is the way it should be. but anyway: clue, excellent excellent film. but thats not saying much, as i would watch tim curry in anything, even home alone 2.

It makes me smile, and it was good enough that I could listen to it six times through when I was stuck in traffic in New Jersey without succumbing to road rage. :) I keep wondering if they changed the lyrics to "The Diva's Lament" after she won her Tony Award...
