1. So my brothers and their families have been in town all week, which is why posting has been light and boring as of late. We have five (read: FIVE!) kids six years old and younger staying at our house, which is just as fun and hectic as you can imagine.
2. It’s great because we use the pool more in this one week then we do for the whole summer. But I came to the realization that most of our pool toys are water weapons of some sort or another. I think that says something about our family. And when we aren’t shooting each other with water cannons, we’re competing against each other with stupid human tricks involving catching balls in midair while jumping off the diving board.
3. We went to the Museum of Natural History on Monday, which is my favorite place in the whole wide world, and it was great to see the kids see everything for the first time. The best part is obviously the dinosaurs.
4. Tonight we’re going on a dinner cruise around Manhattan with my Mom’s side of the family. She’s one of seven, so there should be about 60 of us. Open bar. No kids allowed. Should be fun!
5. In non-family related news I have all the So You Think You Can Dances recorded on my DVR but I haven’t watched any of them yet. I’m contemplating just erasing them because — believe it or not — I think this past season of TV wore me out. I’m actually looking forward to a few months without a TV schedule and just catching up on DVDs.
6. This Louis Vuitton ad featuring Sally Ride, Buzz Aldrin, and Jim Lovell makes me really happy:
I just find it so inspiring. As long as I pretend it isn’t a Louis Vuitton ad.
7. Who else is excited about the Director’s Cut of Watchmen? Luckily New York is one of the cities they’re gonna show it in theaters, so I’ll be able to see it on the big screen again. It’s ridiculous how much I love that movie. The opening montage set against The Time They Are A-Changin’ alone is worth the price of admission.
I dunno Michelle, I could go for a rich husband…
So could I Nathan.
Yeah. Me too. I guess. Sorry Mr. M.
These tweets from Craig are like being there but without the hangover tomorrow. Amanda, you go girl!
it’s not like being there enough! I want a puntabulous booze cruise!
Have fun on the booze cruise! I hope you took tomorrow off of work
Enrico: I second that!! You must watch SYTYCD, and the Mrs. LOVES Evan (she says that he looks a lot like me, but no way can I dance like that)
Michelle: I love Donnie Darko, it was a brilliant movie; although most people I know had to peruse the website (which won a Webbie back in the day) to make sense of the movie.
I think we should plan a gay Puntabulous (feat. Michelle & Tam) cruz! Only instead of drinking and riding a boat, we lash out @ strangaz while walking around New York. Any takerz?!
I wish I’d known you in April Josh. You could have come to the city with Enrico and hung with us. Next time.
(Don’t know when that will be though.)
Booze Cruise was SO much fun last night! I think a Puntabulous Booze Cruise is an excellent idea!
Michelle: I’m up for a Watson Adventure!
I’m all for the Puntabuboozecruise!
And Tam, yes indeed, Ottawians (Is that right?) DO have an accent, much like Torontoians. I just call it the Canadian accent, and smile inside when I hear it cause it’s so damn cute. SOunds strangely like this girl I knew who grew up in Bimiji Minnesota.
I figured out Dave S. grew up in Michigan before I ever asked him just cause some of his accent reminded me of my Fairy Godfather Mark’s accent, and he grew up in MIchigan.
I’ve been accused of having a Southern accent by a chick in Erie PA of all places. But she was running a register at a convience store, so what does she know anyway. But my cute Asian buddy Ed that lives in Toronto hit my accent on the head: he called it Appalacian. Which I suppose is not only accurate, but quite disturbing as well.
HUGS….
I want to hear everyone talk now.
Twitter has voice messaging now. There should be a Puntabulous channel on Twitter (not that I know anything about Twitter) but we could all record the exact same message and then compare accents.
That Louis V ad reminds me of An American Tail….”Somewhere, out there…”
Can we hear Craig being a LIL bit TIPsy?
