The other day (maybe Thursday) I was playing with the cat and put a large rubber band around her waist like a belt. She needed accessorizing… her fur was just looking so dull. Last night my stepfather picked her up and looked at her and said, “What a stupid cat. How’d she get this around her?” and took the rubber band off. I forgot I put it on her and never said anything.
I think the cat is sad that her belt is gone now, though.
wait. is cougar town actually good?
It is SO GOOD. I am re-watching the whole series before the 3rd season starts on Feb 14th. It’s so funny and well written, I would kill (like assisted suicide type killing so it’s not all on my conscious) to write for that show.
Cougar Town Hand Gun Fight
Also, watch the Spaced hand gun fight which this scene pays homage too.

I watched Moneyball last night and have never in my life been interested in baseball stats, but found myself fighting the urge to stop the movie and google the Oakland A’s stats.
Also, I loved this scene and can see why Jonah Hill is now Oscar Nominee Jonah Hill.

Jessica Alba & Lindsay Lohan, On Stripping.
- [Jessica Alba] went to strip clubs as a part of her research for her character in Sin City (2005). However, she said that it didn’t help because all the pro-strippers were doing “is trying to get tips”.
- Lindsay Lohan actually took pole-dancing lessons to prepare for her role as a stripper [re: I Know Who Killed Me]
Honey is arguably Jessica Alba’s best film.

I ruined a hat for my boyfriend by telling him he looks more like Debbie Gibson than Justin Theroux. I’m a terrible boyfriend.
I was at the playground
this afternoon with my boys after school cause they wanted to play outside for a little while before doing their homework. I often wonder what other parents think about me while I am at the playground or really any place I am at with my kids. I know it’s egocentric to think like that, but I can’t believe other parents don’t think about that sometimes. Anyway, another dad was there with his son and walked over to me and said hello. I said, “hi.” and left it at that. His son, who was a few years younger than my boys, was following around my boys copying everything they were doing. It seemed as I was moving around the park trying to stay warm, the other dad was doing the same thing as me every so often saying things like “This weather, right?”, “You come here often?” and other things that really only warranted short replies.
I wasn’t about to befriend this guy at the playground, but this got me thinking that I don’t have any parent friends and wonder if that’s weird. I suppose I think about this every so often. I only thought about it for a short time and then again now that I am writing this. I also thought while writing this that maybe I’ll join a gay parents group and then thought probably not.
On Sunday, Dean came over to hangout on his way back home to Maine. We went into Boston for a late dinner at Beehive (which was delicious, but pricey especially for sandwiches…the fries were so good though). After dinner we went over to The Eagle for some drinks where we met Greg. There was a drunk youngish guy (maybe mid 20s) and I say youngish cause most of the other people there were older than me, so you know real old telling us, while tapping the stools beside him, “These seats are empty.” Yeah, I wanted to say, for a reason. We sat at the end of the bar.
After leaving The Eagle, Dean & I weren’t quite ready to go home so I gave him two options. We can go to another gay bar quite similar to the one almost exactly like we were just at or go to one similar but with male dancers. Dean, not surprisingly, chose the latter. I mean wouldn’t you? We got there and it was also sorta dead, but again it’s Sunday night. We got a drink and sat at a table. There were two dancers rotating through the entire time we were there. Dean became smitten with one of the dancers and I became glued to the TV (surprise!). OK well, there was porn on one TV and Futurama on another; I couldn’t help myself.
I thought about one of my goals this year of going to a gay bar alone and saw a few people sitting there alone and questioned myself for having this goal. Really what kind of goal is this? Is there a real reason I want to do this beside seeing if I can? I don’t know. I don’t need to go to find a guy since I have a boyfriend, but I feel like it’s something I should be able to do.
The next morning Dean & I went into Salem to get some breakfast before he went back to Maine. It’s not a difficult decision for me to choose when Eggs Benedict is on the menu. At one point we could smell something burning from the kitchen and I guess from the smell that it was my english muffin or his toast. It ended up being my english muffins.
We should have seen the signs.

Laurie’s Evil Face.
It’s become clear to me as I am rewatching Cougar Town that Laurie is my favorite character.
Is it weird to take pictures of yourself in your boyfriend’s bathroom and then put them on the internet where maybe he’ll see them?
Maybe Soup is currently being updated? I'll try again automatically in a few seconds...
