You don’t have to gift wrap it

First random thing:
I would like to like the show Eastwick because
1) the redhead witch was on Eureka a show I love
2)The actor who plays Darryl the Satan character was in this WONDERFUL PBS/Sundance show called Slings and Arrows. Which I LOVED.
3) I adore the other redhead Sara Rue to distraction. She was in a great movie called Gypsy 83 that everyone should see. It is also nice to see her not being a blonde bobblehead anymore. I actually love Sara Rue more than the first chick, but I’m writing this as I watch the tivo so I went to her first. She’s written whedonesque.
Next random thing:
Babbage, our small kitten has an insatiable need to knock every single glass or cup over. And crawl up my nose at every available opportunity.
I made a website today for the thing I’d like to do:

Still working on it.
I finished Feed
it wasn’t the story I thought it was, with the kids teaching themselves to read with emergency signs and manuals (must find that story again, it was good, possibly metafilter).
But it was goooooooood. And very topical and real. And I want to read more of him. I ignore banners and other net enticements, but the progression in this book is fully on point.
No really library tomorrow! I need more reading material. The sequels to Wicked Lovely and
Can I be an adult and be enthralled with YA lit? Well there are so many adult women who are crazy over Twilight, which I don’t get. I like bloodthirsty brooding wampires, not sparkling emos. But I saw the first movie and I’ll see this one. I justn don’t know if I can try and read the books again.
Now…the Hunger Games…Can’t wait to start THAT sequal. And the sequel to City of Bones
I’d really like to see the new Sherlock Holmes movie, because when Robert Downey Jr. isn’t on drugs, he’s an amazing actor–yes I liked Iron Man.
I made a very tasty dinner– Lovely pork chops (coleman’s mustard on both sides topped with paprika, salt. pepper, onions, apples and honey) and green beans sauteed with onions, breadcrumbs, and garlic. Yum. I missed having time to cook!
And I must finish the random notes for the day. This finishes it.

Snow?
Anyway, on a humorous note. There is not EVEN a 1/4 inch of snow on the ground and the schools closed. Seriously. It used to take a LOT more than that when I lived here, I swear. And Illinois did have an impact on me in this way , I cracked up when I heard they were closing the schools..
Now we don’t have snow plows, and we do have hills, so there is that.
Em has on her kitty snow boots and is trying to put her snow suit on over her pjs. Her school opens at 10. I hope they frolic in the snow because I’m not quite ready for that yet.

Stop singing mommy. That song makes me spit everywhere.
Hee.

Camping
She has on her pumpkin hat, her hot pink gloves, her tap shoes and kitty cat backpack.
She is under the table going ‘camping.”
God, how I love the weirdness of kids
and on another note: She spelled Cat, Dog and Bart (the last she asked me how to spell and I told her, she found the letters and put them together correctly) with her fridge phonics yesterday.
I wanted to to make a quick note, before I forgot, lots to do today.

Willy Wonka
Willy Wonka–
We finally got to see it last night. Had a pizza party with the three of us and assorted cats. At one point Ninny grabbed a piece of pizza and tried to run off with it. Don’t get in the way that girl and her carbs.
I love the original.
and I love this one. For entirely different reasons. One of them being Johnny Depp. I wanted the Gene Wilder Wonka for a dad when I was a child. I wanted this Wonka for my crazy uncle.
And Danny Elfman of course.
And Wonka was creepy and weird but he’s SUPPOSED to be creepy and weird.
The first one you get the sense that the children are even more to blame as the parents. The second one, the blame lands where it belongs (I think) on the parents and you get a sense of your awesome power as one.
And the Wonkas were very different. In this movie the centerpiece was more more Wonka than the children, as it was in the other movie. When I watch the older one I identify with Charlie. In this one it is very much Wonka.
Bean LOVED it too. She’s trying to learn the oompa loompa dances.
