After an Iowa New Year’s weekend full of family, fun, and food followed by the 2012 caucuses, it’s hard to choose just three thoughts for this Thursday. But, here’s my best shot:
- I received Parenthood, Seasons 1 & 2 for Christmas so our fam watched the pilot and first episode Sunday night. The story line, music, and actors hooked both kids and their spouses. Which makes me feel like one trendsetting, hip and cool jive momma!
- Hiram and I once again watched the Lord of the Rings Trilogy over Christmas weekend. Since then, the similarity between the hairstyles body types of college and pro football players and the orcs has disturbed me. Anyone else bothered by that?
- The Iowa caucuses are over. We won’t miss the constant string of robo-calls and survey phone calls. But before hanging up on the caucuses for another four years, take a look at Caucus Time…with a Muppet Flair by my friend and former reporter, Melissa Tagg. Which muppet would you vote for?
Thank you so much for the shout-out, Jolene! I had a lot of fun with that Muppet post.
I love, love, love Parenthood. It’s the only TV show I actually factor in to my weekly schedule. Though, I do allow myself to miss it so I can attend our monthly writing group meetings. š Yay for Hulu.com.
I haven’t watched Lord of the Rings for awhile, but the Orcs are burned into my memory. I laughed out loud at your comparison to football players! š
Well, I laughed out loud at your Muppet/politician comparisons. We must have matching senses of humor.
Thanks, Jolene, for your Orcs comparison – quite a mental picture AND for the muppet political link – hilarious! And on a day a laugh was a very good thing!
