Vince, not even you can cheer me up
Subdued mood, Wedding Crashers playing in the background and my mood is so subdued, I can't even bring myself to watch it. My husband rented some movies tonight, thus, Wedding Crashers. I'm sure it's a funny movie, but not one I would have picked. Sorry, Vince. I did like you in Dodgeball, although, you were the only one I liked in the movie Dodgeball, come to think of it. I loved ya, Vince, in Swingers, one of my all time favorite movies. I loved you in Old School, although I was a little worried you were starting to get typecasted as the "means well best friend whose emotional IQ is NEGATIVE zero". Same for your role in Mr. & Mrs. Smith, but less "cool" in that one. OH and same in Be Cool, but you were really not cool. In Old School , I laughed out loud through most of it, minus the cheesey Frat Boy ritual scene, with all of those guys with their pants down to their ankles. Vince, I thought your performance in Clay Pigeons was stunning and entirely creepy as it should be. Clay Pigeons, if you haven't seen it at 2am on the IFC, well, take the time to rent it. Great movie. Broke out of your typecast role in that one. Sort of. I guess you are the main characters "friend" in that role too, but the fact that you are a murdering psycho, changes the role a little I guess. And I guess as far as other murderous roles go, I never saw Psycho, the version you were in, anyway, so I can't comment on that one.
Just read a great blog post about Jon Armstrong, for those of you who are fans of his blog, or his wife's blog, Dooce. Check it out. I think Jon Armstrong is actually cuter than Vince Vaughn. But maybe, it's because when I read his interviews and his blogs, I realized that his emotinal IQ seems to be much higher than Vince's, although, I haven't actually read any Vince interviews to base that off of. I'm actually not a fan of Vince's. I can't actually think of any celebrity I'm a fan of, other than maybe Oprah. I really enjoy a person who has more than one dimension to them, you know. Strong empathetic nature from a high emotional IQ, someone who is well-read and enjoys talking about books and authors and the thoughts behind the events and situations in life. And throw in a good dose of physical chemistry and that's a nice well rounded person, right? So, kudos to you Jon, for supporting your wife during her post partum depression and not being afraid to express your love to your daughter and setting an example of a man who is more than just machismo and frat guy jokes.

Much love to my dear friend, who is feeling subdued, and I think maybe also longing and reflection. My friend who says so much in and between the lines. I know that if there is cosmic justice and/or love, she will be blessed with all that she desires from this world. I hope we all will.
For those of you who read my blog, I sometimes refer to my friend Lamey Amy, who in no way is actually, lame. L.A., I can only guess that you are indeed my friend Lamey Amy and I just want to say that your words are so beautiful. You have such a gift with words, either in writing or speech, that I hope you do start writing your own blog one day soon. Because I think many many of us will be reading it. And as far as what you said on this blog, Thank-you. I hope you are right. I really really hope you are right. I love you, Lamey Amy and thanks for being such a supportive friend and a reader of my blog.
