Haven't blogged in a bit so I thought I'd just plug in an obligatory entry before I get too far behind. Lots of things I could blog about, but I'm off at 7 am tomorrow for a field trip to Huntsville with Ethan, which is a bit early for me. So quick updates on some of the many random things floating around in my head. . .
I awoke last Friday without a voice. Well, I have a voice, but it's not mine. It seems to belong to an asthmatic frog. I feel fine. I have no other symptoms. I just can't talk. And it's killing me. I'm ready to move on. New phase. No more frog voice.
In other news, Jennifer Garner is reported to be pregnant. I don't ordinarily keep up with actors' personal lives much, and I've never cared much for Jennifer Garner on a personal level. But when her personal life affects Alias, it starts to matter to me. And this latest bit of news is really making me nervous. Now, I've been pregnant a few times, and, though I have to give my sister credit for kickboxing class til she was 6 months pregnant with Chase, pregnancy just doesn't lend itself well to the phrase "kick ass". I'm nervous about season 5. Supposedly JG is due in November. That is not convenient for shooting schedule. If she had gotten pregnant relatively early in the shooting schedule, maybe they could work it in to the story line (remember her eggs were harvested last season). . .and tonight's preview implied that Vaughn would be proposing next ep. . .Still, it definitely changes the dynamics of the show to have Sydney Bristow pregnant.
And in other TV news I want to offer my hearty congratulations to Uchenna and Joyce for their victory on The Amazing Race. I've rooted for them all along, and it felt really good to see "the nice finish last". I know Bert probably agrees with me, that Joyce deserved to win after shaving her head. :)
Off to bed. Not looking forward to early rise followed by several hours in a bus with 50 or 60 fourth graders. . .
