Two things I totally love, which have been extensively linked by
other blogs. But just in case you haven't had the pleasure:
-- The Hillshire Farms "go meat" ad
with the two women. Whutwhut.
--
The Alanis Morrissette spoofy "My Humps" video.
I know one of the guys in it through my actor neighbors, and my
neighbor said he told his friend he was really funny in it and the
guy was all, "Funny? I was supposed to be sexy!"

Netflix movies I've seen since the baby was born: Friends With Money,
Take the Lead, This Film Is Not Yet Rated, The Grudge 2, Wordplay,
The Devil Wears Prada, The Last Kiss, Brick, The Covenant, Jesus
Camp, A Scanner Darkly, Running With Scissors, The Break-Up, Quinceanera.
This doesn't count all the movies I've taped and watched off of
the Encore movie channel package we have. Most recently: Blast From
the Past. Brendan Fraser is a dork.

The year when women in Hollywood and elsewhere started striving
to look like plastic bimbos: 2001. I was watching a few minutes
of some dumb cable movie from 1999 today and all the women and girls
looked normal, even the ones who were supposed to be skanky, but
somewhere along the line everybody started going under the knife
and looking fake. This was driven home the other night while watching
a newscast from Beverly Hills where some houses were burning down,
and they were interviewing residents. Four women were on camera,
all obviously rich, all in the 35-65 range, and all had that same
swollen-lipped, eyes pulled, plastic-cheeked and blonde look. And
then I saw Tori Spelling on Leno the other night, who I think is
younger than me, and she was so scalpel-overworked it was horrifying.
(I like too how she was all, "I gained 40 pounds during pregnancy"
-- and that girl gained 60 pounds if she gained an ounce.) But it's
just so grose. Why are women doing it? For whom? I'm scared to see
that new Adam Brody/Meg Ryan movie because she's so disfigured.

Gray doesn't normally get excited about music, but for some reason
he's in love with this new Lily Allen song "Alfie". Which
is appropriate since today is 4-20, Marijuana Day. I used Lily Allen
for one of my entry titles a few months ago, and ever since then
I've banned her because she's boring. And now this new Gray love.
Sad turn of events.

On the baby front: smiling has begun. It's pretty great.

Also, the amount of change that's taking place so fast is mind boggling.
