An apology to Bill Pullman.

Bill, I take it back. I had no idea you were still making movies, and I hope that your newest endeavor, Nobel Son, does very well in theaters. Perhaps all of this Bill Pullman talk, the time of year and a recent Sandra Bullock sighting in George Lopez (digest that one--apparently she's a producer) is a sign that I need to watch While You Were Sleeping. One of the greatest movies ever. Well, not really but still pretty awesome. Peter Gallagher in that movie is priceless.

And it begins.

Happy Thanksgiving, and happy no-turning-back-Christmas-is-on-its-way-and-nobody-will-be-able-to-stop-it day. Go ahead, I DARE you to be the pre-epiphany Grinch whose heart was two sizes too small.

Finally I can freely express my holiday cheer and listen to Christmas songs without guilt.

Oh the places you'll go.

I'm flipping through the guide on the TV, seeing what's on tonight, and half listening to whatever commercial is on. Something about getting a good future or whatever. Then I hear a voice that is vaguely familiar. I look up and who do I see but...

"Bill Pullman??"

It turns out the commercial was for the University of Massachusetts, all of them I guess. I didn't even know Bill Pullman was from Massachusetts. At least he better be, otherwise it's kind of sad. Because this is what he has been reduced to. Local commercials -- and I do consider it local since I doubt it is showing anywhere outside of Massachusetts. Gone are his glory days of... Newsies. And While You Were Sleeping. Oh yeah, and Casper. It's funny, because really, what does Bill Pullman being a spokesman for UMass say about UMass? You can also become a once-semi-popular actor who is now so washed up he is doing commercials for a state college!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey, just an early celebratory message to wish you all a happy turkey day. I will be coming home on Friday, and it's about time. I can't wait to have a whole week to do NOTHING. Well, I will have to work on my children's book for class (and also my article and my story for the same class). And read children's and teen books for my witchcraft paper.

Damn.

Well, at least I'll have at least a day off. And food! And after that, I'll be free to celebrate the Christmas spirit as much as I want without guilt. My internal struggle is containing my excitement--and my Christmas carols.

I enjoy this site to no end.

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard browsing through a website. Do yourself a favor and go to failblog.com. Pretty much everything I saw on there made me laugh.

EDIT: Sorry, it's actually failblog.org. My bad.

Love reunited at last.

FINALLY!!!! My computer is back! I'm so extremely happy--I've been computer-less for three weeks, but now that dark period of my life is over. Unfortunately I have no Microsoft Office... but we'll see what happens with that. Daddy, call Microsoft for me? Thanks!

Did I not say MERLOT????

I watched an hour and a half of Kathy Griffin's standup today, and she mentioned Martha Stewart. So I started thinking about dear Martha and, well, I just wanted to remind you all that this movie exists. They actually spent time to create this. Sorry it's not a link. Enjoy.

Hiatus done. I hope.

Hi guys. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. My computer is broken and it's taking forever to find everything we need to fix it. I had spyware, then my hard drive failed, so, yeah.

I can't think of anything to post right now that is more interesting. So I'll catch ya on the flip side.
