Best. Show. EVER.

arrested development

Well, it's pretty close at least- especially since I won't have any new episodes of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" for quite a while. I picked up the dvd of the first season last week and Jason and I have been plowing through them. SO FUNNY! Also, who would have thought that I'd be thinking how cute Jason Bateman is after say, 1988? And when can I have hair like Portia de Rossi already? (That is so totally not her real name. Come on now.)

  1. According to the Internet Movie Database, she was born Amanda Lee Rogers and changed her name when she was 15.
    Arrested Development is a great show.

  2. Portia de Rossi real name was Amanda Lee Rogers until she changed it. I believe she is an lawyer by degree. You have get an Hollywood name I guess. I'd watch AD and saw Jason bateman as some old funny guy. But then I thought he was a bit quirky and cute. Penalize me if you want. he was absolutely the worst thing in the movie Dodge ball. I like think he's an alright actor great on a.d but this was pathetic I felt embarrassed for him. But still a fan.
    Tracy are you the (string cheese fanactic) that is running around chi-town surrounding areas posting those String Cheese signs. The signs are real pedestrian crossing signs that have been altered by someone slapping on a transparency of the Hula-Hoop. The string cheese band plays a mix of rock, blues, bluegrass, funk and salsa -- has adopted the Hula-Hooped pedestrian as its mascot. You would seem be an string cheese fan.
    After seeing that Halloween costume picture from years ago with I believe one your friends. I'm on the hula hoop committee trying find ones defacing city signs. I know you have an hula hoop , dance dress, and fire darts in your closet. When I read that story about those signs . I thought was the craziest thing I heard. How do you go to an concert with an hula hoop. I'm I missing something about this story of the string cheese band? I think the band is from Colorado. Go figure. Does anyone go to their concert last month or have nay pictures of this group. I think it's an left wing independent conspiracy ( ha ha ha )

  3. Ummmm. I'm sorry but I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about! Seriously. What did you just say? What on earth is a string cheese band?
    I've never seen Dodgeball. I'll have to take your word for it.

  5. That's pretty amusing. I've never heard of them. Probably because I've never been into the hippie jam band thing! Still, it's good for a laugh.

  7. No, I didn't send the guy my computer. That was the whole point of the post. And Arrested Development probably isn't the best show that ever was- I'm just really into it right now, having never seen it before. I tend to go overboard when I like things. After all this time don't you get my style of writing by now? :-) I've also said that the TIVO is the best thing ever invented, which can't really be true.... or can it?
