Dear God,

Please make him President. Of the U.S. (in case you were confused which country I wanted him president of and just went for whichever one you saw first, in an effort to please me quickly.)

Thank you!

In Harper's eyes

The other day while Harper, Brett and I were at the park as we are wont to do, she lay on her adorable tummy and started craning her neck trying to get the eye of this guy who was walking by. And when he did walk by, she smiled at him! Highly unusual behavior from my aloof lady. Well after a bit of deliberation I realized that said guy was one Ben Lee. A few minutes passed and he came back with his ladyfriend in tow, who took off her sunglasses and said, "I heard about your baby." Who was said ladyfriend? Ione Skye. I thought I had breaking news of a hot new indie Hollywood coupling but turns out it's not new news at all. Apparently, before having their eyes burned (normal reaction) by the cuteness of my daughter they had traipsed off to Sundance. The point is I now know that if you are a stranger the way to get on Harper's good side is to put out some critically acclaimed pop/rock music at a very young age, date a tv/movie star, get dumped by said star and start dating another one. At least that's my best guess.

In-n-Out, that's what a hamburger's all about!

Laura decided to become a vegetarian again after she learned more about how the big factory farms are affecting the environment. I got this message from her on my voice mail yesterday:

"I broke down and had a double double. It was so good. It was sooooo good. I mean it was really sooooo good. (she sighed, remembering it) I thanked the cow for its sacrifice."

She'll try again today. I haven't eaten pig in a long time and I'm starting to give up cows too. I have much better reasons for doing though. It's because they're so cute!

In other important news, yesterday while I was in the elevator on the way to the dentist they had one of those little TVs on (because really, when a building goes all the way to the fifth floor, how else are you going to entertain yourself?) and it said in a poll 68% of people hate Valentines Day. If that's true, why are we all doing this? Is it for the oil money? Who's behind this machine that we all hate so much? I, personally, enjoy it. And when I've been single I never hated it. I never took it as a personal affront against my singleness, which is surprising because I took a lot of things personally at that point. But I would be fine without it. So who's keeping this thing running? I smell conspiracy!

Dear People of North Hollywood:

A flashing stop light is effectively the same thing as a stop sign.

I hope this clears some things up for you.

I don't know this person personally, he is a co-worker of our friend Arnie, but his blog is hilarious and touching. It's called crabbydad, and is about his being--you guessed it folks--a crabby dad. I wonder if before spawning a human I would have been interested to read a blog like that, but if I wouldn't I was WRONG. DEAD wrong. Also, he records his kids making music, and Jen especially, you must go listen to it. Especially "wonder woman won". I think you should cover it in Stickerbook. This is now basically an email to Jen. Let's refocus here people: Yesterday's entry was especially adorable and hilarious and i say unto you--read it!

An idea of things that I think about when I can't sleep:

Jack Bauer bubble bath is a good idea.

WHY??? I don't know. I don't even know what it means really. But I do know I spent about fifteen precious minutes that could have been spent sleeping being sure it was a great idea.

I got this email from CVS Pharmacy this morning, the subject was, "Natasha, We have an exclusive offer just for you!" Who do they think they're kidding?? Do they think I don't know they are pharmacy sluts? Just for me, my ass.

Finally, Monday was Harper's 6 month birthday. How could I let it pass without pictures?? I couldn't. So here you go:

Adorable!:

And one where she's dressed like she might if she was in my old band Stickerbook (who you should go see because they are awesome):

That's So Raven

24 Spoiler alert*


Last night's episode was full of quotes that could have happened during any episode of 24 ever. Or, why I love 24 Part 1,348:

Bill Buchanan: Jack, are you alright?
Jack: Yes, I'm fine. But all of the back up teams are dead.

******

Father: What are you going to do?
Jack: Whatever I have to, to find out what I need to know.

That is so Jack Bauer. Or, to kind of quote an episode of Dog Bites Man, that is so typical of the behavior I have come to expect from Jack Bauer.

I forgot to mention, I turned 80.

Sometimes when I leave my ipod downstairs I listen to the radio when i'm in the kitchen with Harper. Unfortunately it means I'm exposed to this:

It's hard to be faithful
You have the lips of an angel

Really? This is what the kids are listening to? Also don't most angels look like little chubby infants?
