Do you WONDER why I love Arrested Development?
Oh post shmost, I have nothing to say. We’re on a tornado watch thanks to Katrina but right now the sun is shining so I don’t believe a word of it. If the typing stops like thi….. (major, weeklong pause)… then you’ll know I’ve blown away like Dorothy. Only she had one dog to put in a basket. And he came when he was called.
Besides, I am in a foul mood, and for no particular reason. I pushed the right button this time and got a whole lot of money out of Van’s account, and went shopping to fill up his care package. I only need one more thing (surprise, Van! not really, haha 
) and then I can send the whole thing off, that is, if I decide to face my fear of the post office.

Michael: First off, what have we always said the most important thing is?
George Michael: Breakfast?
Michael: Family.
George Michael: Oh yeah, right. Family. I thought you meant of the things you eat…

That powdered haircolor worked great. I look fabulous.
Scott’s out fixing the oil leak in the Volvo. I still look fabulous. You should see me!

Oh, this is going nowhere. Catch you later. xo

You love Arrested Development? Are you some kind of sick nut? … good, I thought I was the only one.

Bruce, if you start leaving me comments, I’m going to have to move you to the “the feeling is mutual section”. I’m just warning you. You have NO idea what goes on there.
My goal in life is to memorize every single line from the first season. I can’t even choose a favorite character because they are ALL geniuses. There never has been and never will be a funnier show.
And geez. What makes you think I’m a sick nut?

Charles’ favorite line is when Tobias is talking about being a Never Nude and he raises his fist and says, “There are dozens of us! Doezens!” He uses it all the time and we both crack up. We even tried Googling Never Nudes but all the sites linked back to AD.
I want to see a picture of your hair! It would be great if you could provide one with Scott under the car working on it and you standing by looking FABULOUS!

Jenn - Oh, I LOVE those tiny little cutoffs. But then remember when he became an EVER nude for awhile? Who can’t love Tobias… Jesse and I discovered Mr. Show on cable awhile back (before we stopped watching TV) and David Cross was absolutely maniacally hilarious on that show, too. Our favorite line, to a very stupid person: “You don’t know the meaning of words, do you?”
Dratted computer… camera… drat…grr… #$@… Sigh. I may be mad, but I continue to look fabulous! =o)

I didn’t really watch AD when it was on at it’s regular timeslot, but one of the cable stations had a marathon weekend, and every chance I got, I watched it. My wife got a little worried about me because she kept hearing belly laughs coming from my office. I’m not one to laugh hysterically, so I think she thought someone broke into the house and was watching TV in my office. Well, anyway, she’s a redhead. Maybe you could share the secret of your dye-powder stuff. She can’t seem to find the right product to cover the one or two gray hairs she has.

I thought I would ne-vah be happy again when they shut down the beauty supply store near me (you can’t get toner in a grocery store),
but a few days ago, it came back! (”If you love something, set it free…”).
So, the sun will shine again, and I won’t look like a nid-nuck for two days after I do my haircolor, anymore! All will rise and sing victorious at the opening stanza!
Thanks for the mention of AD, I’ve never seen it, but can get it at my library, I hear. Sweeeet…

Bruce - We watched from the beginning in wonder and glee/ and bought the first season on dvd/ wait - this is turning into a poem… Tell your wife I found this great powdered stuff (messy, though) called Xpressive by Bigen. You mix as much of it as you need with water and slap it on. It’s great for touching up roots, too. Viva la redheads, even the fakers! (Well, I’m a faker anyway!)
Chrissy - La la I love beauty supply stores… and I laughed when I read your ‘if you love something set it free’ - I’m going to try that with EVERYTHING now. (Including junior mints.) Yes, goest thou into the librarium sanctum and receive thy offering of AD - it’s the BEST!
