the horses are coming so you better run

Of note:

1. We saw Ovo last night! It was about eggs and dancing, jumping, flying, undulating, wackily-dressed bugs.  Basically it was awesome. Basically I wonder what it would be like if I could become an acrobat and wrap my legs around my body and have men dressed as grasshoppers toss me around as if I weighed no more than a dust mote.

2. I think the new theme of this blog is going to be: weird shit done by celebrities. For your enjoyment, Brad Paisley enters the New Yorker cartoon contest. Stars! They’re just like us!

3. The Kids Are All Right: now THIS was a movie that made me feel my feelings. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up, especially if you can arrange to see it in the middle of the afternoon in a scenic rural Massachusetts town in a theater full of delightful old people. Dear Mark Ruffalo, you are simultaneously the worst and the best, never change.

4. On the agenda for today: short ribs, flash fiction, and convincing Tom to crack my achy back.

5. I miss my family. Biological and not.
