Eddie, Countdowns and Coffins

So, this week was the "Stripped" Eddie Izzard concert at the magnificent Detroit Opera House. Mr. Izzard was pretty fucking hilarious, if I do say so myself. I felt a little jipped that he didnt' come out in heels and stockings *snicker* as he IS the coolest Action Transvestite I know....but hey, he did have a funky outfit on...tuxedo coat with coat-tails, red lining, jeans and a red button down shirt. Weird? Absolutely? But hey, it's Eddie - it worked.

He talked about everything from dinosaurs to tapestry weavers to giraffes playing charades....oh, and don't forget the Spartan Sheep! OMG, I was laughing so hard and it felt just so GOOD to have that kind of laugh, ya know?

Work continues to be good, as does the family - Alex just had his birthday and we had family over for Mem Day BBQ - all good stuff.

Only 46 days until George - oh man, we're really getting into countdown mode now. Did ya'll catch him on American Idol? He was fabulous, of course. The glasses thing, I don't get, but that's been his thing for a while....but I don't care because it's George. And Kelly <3 George.

Kids are out of school in just under 2 weeks. Ahhhh, this is the time of year I wish I had gone into teaching. Summer is my time, and I hate that I won't have it off to spend with them. *sigh* Buck up, eh?

Lost season finale is this Thursday and we will find out who is in that coffin - my guess is Ben and the EW writer who says it's Claire is smoking crack and should really lay off. Sheesh. The kids have a band concert that night and I'm hoping and praying they are done in time for the 9pm start time. I've already been shot down at the idea of me driving separately. Chris just rolls his eyes and says 'no way' - Yeah, yeah, ok....

Just learned that an old acquaintance was diagnosed with breast cancer this week. *SIGH* I'm continuing to prepare for the 3 Day but with news like that, it doesn't seem like it will ever be enough. But Jamie and I will walk like madwomen anyway, right, girly?

Various Reviews in Super Short Version:

1) Team America: Rented and saw this CRAP movie. A couple of way funny parts and the rest was just completely WRONG! *snicker*
2) Narnia/Prince Caspian - Good movie. A little long, but still way entertaining.
3) Indiana Jones - seeing this tomorrow, stop by later!

Off to watch some sports and read my book - I promise to review this one as it seems review worthy. Haven't had a review-worthy book in a while, so yay for me. Gotta finish it first, though
