Is my NPH love going overboard this week? With him promoting How I Met Your Mother it seems like there’s bits and pieces of NPH goodness every where this week, and I’ve linked to most of it on my sidebar. But this gem? With him singing on Sesame Street? AS A FAIRY? Is the best of it all. Love, Love, Love him. With all of my heart.
Amen.
P.S. If any of you love him as much as I do? He’ll be on Ellen on Friday. He’s always great on her show because they’re very casual and funny together. LOVE.
My newfound love for Joss Whedon (Why did I resist Buffy and Angel for so long?) has led me to this gem. A trailer for his new online project that stars Neil Patrick Harris. Another love of mine. If this doesn’t look hysterical, I don’t know what does.
Joss Whedon describes this project: “It’s the story of a low-rent super-villain, the hero who keeps beating him up, and the cute girl from the laundromat he’s too shy to talk to.” Of course. AWESOME.
Damn you, Stephenie Meyer for releasing another hardback copy of Eclipse — but this time you included a poster for Breaking Dawn built into the cover as well as the first chapter included in the back and iron-on transfers that say either “Team Edward” or “Team Jacob”. DAMN YOU! Because, of course, LilZ and I had to go out and buy a copy last night when you know for damn sure that we already have a hardback copy of Eclipse.
Luckily, LilZ is on Team Jacob and I’m on Team Edward so we only bought one copy. I’m counting on him growing out of his interest in the series sometime in the next few years at which point I’ll take the poster and claim it for myself.
But still…DAMN YOU.
(I say all of this with sincere love for Stephenie Meyer, of course. And would buy a third copy of that damn book if she included chapter two at the end of that one.)
NikkiZ has a very STRONG opinion in music. Unfortunately, we haven’t quite figured it out yet. All we know is that there are some songs she likes, and she calls those “Rock-n-Roll” and usually asks for them to be LOUD. But then there are other songs she does not like to which she’ll repeat over and over and over again, “I wanna listen to Rock-n-Roll!”
However, her definition of “Rock-n-Roll” is kinda loose. Now, it’s pretty damn close. She knows that R&B or some of the Pop stuff on the radio is not Rock-n-Roll. She just calls that stuff “music” - but it seems that the stuff she likes, the stuff she refers to as Rock-n-Roll is the kinda harder punk music MrZ plays. She likes it LOUD. And with a lot of screaming.
In other words? She’s her Daddy’s daughter.
LilZ and I try to get her to like more Pop or R&B music, because that’s more of what we listen to. But no. She’ll just keep saying, “Play some rock-n-roll,” until she hears something she likes. And in reality? She’s much happier in her Daddy’s car. With his loud music. In my car, I’ve just stopped trying. I don’t have a functioning CD player so we’re stuck with the radio. And the stuff on the radio is just not rockin’ enough for my toddler’s tastes.
Which means in 10 years her Daddy will be the one taking her to concerts while I sit at home whining about her horrible taste in music.
