Let’s talk about Rhett Miller some more. And then look at some fun pictures.November 28th, 2007 @ 7:01 am
I must preface this post by asking you to please not roll your eyes and click away from this page when you read that I’m going to blog about Rhett Miller. Again.
I know you’re all sick of me gushing about my love for the band the Old 97’s (of which Rhett Miller is the lead singer for). But dude, I visited their website this morning and was thrilled to find a review and a link to a clip from Rhett’s latest solo show (Murry was also there, but Rhett mostly did solo stuff).
You must watch THIS CLIP of Rhett performing an awesome Elvis tune. It will make you fully understand my deep, dark love for Rhett and his music.
Seriously, go and watch it now.
(Photos credit to Dr. David Welsh, who I hope doesn’t mind me posting his picture of Rhett. But if he does, I hope he will nicely ask me to take it down. Because I will, if he wants.)
Did you watch the clip? Now do you understand why The King and I are such big fans of his and why we have taught Babboo how to do Rhett’s famous “windmill”?
On our walk to school this morning Babboo and I were able to finally find the Paul McCartney nutcracker. Dude, the Paul nutcracker is even cute then the John Lennon one we found last week.
Remember how my best friend May deserted me moved away to Reno, taking her husband, her daughter and her unborn bebe girl with her? Yeah well, along with Frema, she’s about ready to pop her new bebe out of her belly (or her v*gina) any day. I’ve been begging her for months for a picture of her huge belly and she’s refused. REFUSED.
Until this morning when her very pregnant belly shot was delivered to my inbox.
As punishment for her taking so damn long to just send me a picture of her belly already, I am posting it for the entire interweb to see.
I think she looks yummy. And also, it makes me miss her that much more.
So tell me, should I also punish May by making her send me a belly shot that actually includes her face or do I let her off the hook with this one?
——-
It’s Wednesday. Which means I posted at my column Double Duty, One Paycheck.
And also, go check out my latest New Thing. Which, unfortunately, wasn’t a success.

Why does the nutcracker have the black bar over his eyes? We know it’s Paul! Or is it….the Walrus?
Isabel: Because I think it’s funny.

Can’t watch the video at work, but I promise to watch it at home later!
You should definitely make May send a face-included belly shot. I think it’s only fair.

I think it is appropriate punishment for desertion. Besides, I love photos of baby tummies. Awe.

I almost forgot! I was walking through Best Buy the other day, ya know, Christmas shopping, and I saw across the way in the CD section “Rhett Miller” and totally looked at the CD’s they had there. I was thinking of you the whole time.

The only thing worse than a really pregnant picture is a fresh post partum picture.
Actually there’s not much worse than that.

Ooh, I love the windmill!!
You never need to apologize for Rhett gushing, as far as I’m concerned.

i will never shame you for loving rhett…i may kick your ass if we’re ever in the position where he has to choose between us when picking a bedmate, but that’s to be expected.
oh, and we have comcast cable with the on-demand feature…and there is a 30 minute rhett concert on there. my husband and i have darn near worn it out watching it over and over.

Hey! that’s my building with the Paul nutcracker! LOL.
And yes, I think May definitely needs to send you a belly photo with a face.

[…] With Frema and my bestest friend May both ready to pop out baby girls, I’ve been thinking about babies. That’s pretty clear after reading yesterdays post about knowing when to get pregnant again. Or if to even get pregnant again. […]

[…] Congratulations, tears of joy and big fat hugs are in order. I just got a phone call from the husband of May, my best friend who deserted me moved to Reno. Apparently May just had her baby girl. He called me so soon after that he didn’t even know the babies weight. Or her name. […]
