Born To Resist

I went shopping at Old Navy on Saturday and I found a Women’s Camper Style Twill Vest.

So, if you’re a woman on the go who wants to really capture the spirit of Walter Sobchak in your casual wear, this is the vest for you!

…Jeff Bridges in Crazy Heart. Which, by the way, is crazy good.

I was just thinking about the first time I watched The Wall. I was in high school and my Mom rented it for me. Half way through my Dad said “This is totally different when you’re not stoned.”

Of all the amazing imagery in that movie, the part that sticks with me the most is when Pink shaves his nipples off.

Quality time with Mom & Dad.

Since I starting watching Freaks & Geeks, I’ve had a few dreams where I was back in high school. In one such dream I was riding on the bus with James Franco’s character, Daniel (he doesn’t ride the bus anyway) and he was totally  crushin’ on me, but I was like “No way. I’m going to get married someday.” I love that my dreams are still incredibly grounded in reality.  I’m so sensible.

It seems that all my favorite shows are cancelled or they get cancelled and then return many years later (I’m looking at you FUTURAMA!). In my adulthood I’m discovering that most TV genius is not truly appreciated by the masses. How could pure brilliance like Arrested Development only last 3 seasons? Freaks and Geeks only one? It’s unfair. I’m also wondering why these shows were on when I was in high school and really didn’t watch TV? I would have been one more audience member! I would urge you to watch Freaks and Geeks. It’s. just. so. good.

P.S. For those of you that fall into the “geek” category, F&Gs has the special bonus of including  guest stars Joel Hodgson & Trace Beaulieu.

Yes, I am distracted by Star Wars. Don’t judge me.

I’m officially a crazy mom-fan of Dave Grohl. I found a link of him singing at the White House and now it’s on a Dave Grohl fansite.

Click the picture and it will take you to the website- where you will find my name. Because I’m a crazy fan. If there had been internet when I loved JTT*- I would have been all up on the crazy fan sites.

*I have to explain that I loved Jonathon Taylor Thomas. I had a poster of him above my bed. I was 12. Here’s a picture of my Home Improvement hunk of Teen Beat magazine goodness:

90's vest and all. Oh and I'm pretty sure that bouquet is for me.

This makes me laugh uncontrollably.

There’s a whole Tumblr of RDJ Creeper pictures. There’s a Jude Law one, too. But nothing is funnier than Creeper RDJ.

Enjoy.
