rapido!

1. if i had a band right now, i'd be covering go diego go's song “rescue pack”. dude, the rescue pack song so SLAYS the backpack song (to those of you who don't have children: move along, move along... nothing to see here...).

2. M_ and i both got haircuts this week. despite being a “mommy special” cut under flailing toddler duress, hers is way cuter:

(note: the wind blew her bangs up as i was taking the picture; they're actually straight in real life) my goal is to make her indistinguishable from any member of sleater kinney. i think we're 90% there.

3. caught Rev Run's new show on Mtv last night, Run's House, and it is RIGHTEOUS. sample moment of awesomeness: when Run's youngest son doesn't want to go to bed one night and starts in with the typical little kid whining and pleading, Run calmly (yet commandingly) responds: “man, i don't wanna diss you or anything, but its bedtime.” BOOM! aww right Run!!!

4. current fixations: oh my god, how are we going to afford to heat our house this winter?; the mix (ALMOST done burning, finally); lipton diet lemon iced tea; the sudden influx of my little pony crap into our home (its M_'s new thang); a sudden feeling of claustrophobia at the onset of fall -- leading to a desire to rearrange every item of furniture in our house so as to have MORE SPACE (or at least the illusion of); polar bear night (now read at every naptime and bedtime); catching up on arrested development (how is it that this is on TV? and how is it that i'm just now getting a clue?); big fluffy floppy-eared bunnies hopping through our backyard; sweater weather!

5. ahem, mix?? where my bitches at?

6. i'm gonna meet styro this weekend! she's coming to play at our house! squee!!!

I so love her hair. I want a "mommy special".

Yes, Arrested Development rocks! It is one of the most brilliant shows in existence. I usually laugh so hard, I cry.

Cute haircut!

I got my mix on Thursday and am just now getting a chance to play it. Four words: I love you, man. It is so very autumn and perfect. I have half a mind to call you, squeal, and then hang up.

when i tell people the premise of arrested development's season 2 episode called "sad sack," they have a hard time believing a network would air a show in which a close-up photo of someone's testicles is mistaken for the weapons of mass destruction in iraq. but thank god fox had the, er, balls to do it. it really is the best series on television. anyone else developing a crush on jason bateman?

I can hereby vouch that your daughter is even more delightful and lovely in person than she is in these photos. As are her folks. I had such a great time meeting you this weekend, thanks for inviting me over and sorry the visit was so short. Thanks to Truman for entertaining (aka "humping") Rufus while we drank beer and ate delicious appetizers your awesome hubby made. Your family rocks. I want your life! :) Someday, someday. :)
