Random thoughts

Kitten put on the huge oven mitts when we got home tonight and ran out into the living room with her arms in the air, scaring the shit out of her sister.

We've been watching The Moment of Truth. When it's a decent person, we find it to be a good topic of marital conversation (Do you fantasize about other women? Um, doesn't everyone at some point? Have you flirted with another man? Duh.). When it's someone icky, it's just good television. America, do not go on this show if you are a skanky whore. And using it to broach the subject of divorce with your husband is just ratty.

Have you read the "email" supposedly from a customer to the company about the "Have a Happy Period" slogan? I doubt it was actually sent to the company and just handily forwarded to everyone via email, but it was downright hilarious. Handy pad messages like, "Put the hammer down," and "Vehicular manslaughter is wrong?" Now that's just good business.

I saw "We Are Marshall" on HBO the other night and I can't stop thinking about it. It could be the PMS, but it really got to me. It was actually pretty good. And it's hard to beat a movie with a good plane crash. Truly, though, it was really well filmed. Example - for the crash, the scene shakes for a split second and the screen goes black for almost a minute. So much more effective. Brilliant.

Neither of my children like Thin Mints, but Kitten digs Tag Alongs.

I saw one episode that I think you're talking about for MOT. Or... are they all that way? Anyway, I found it hilarious that she kept pushing through all of those tough marriage questions and it seemed like she wanted a divorce and then she lost all of that money on the "are you a good person?" question. Does that make me evil?
