Raising Hope

I love this show - it is so stupid and politically incorrect and really funny!

RAISING HOPE

is a new single-camera family comedy from Emmy Award winner Greg Garcia that follows the Chance family as they find themselves adding an unexpected new member into their household.

At 23 years old, JIMMY CHANCE (Lucas Neff) is going nowhere in life. He skims pools for a living, parties every night and still lives at home with his family, including his MAW MAW (Cloris Leachman); his mother, VIRGINIA (Martha Plimpton) and his father, BURT (Garret Dillahunt).

Jimmy's life takes a drastic turn when a chance romantic encounter with LUCY (guest star Bijou Phillips) goes awry once he discovers she is a wanted felon. Months later, when Jimmy pays a visit to the local prison, he learns Lucy is pregnant with their baby, and after she gives birth, he is charged with raising their daughter.

ADORABLE!!!

Robert Plant and the Band of Joy

YES!!!!!

Just got tickets to see ROBERT PLANT and Band of Joy on 2/1/11 at DAR Constitution Hall which is incredible because that place isn't that big - only seats about 3700 people.

AND Patty Griffin is part of the band and I love everything she does.

Shouldn't have spent the money, but it will be worth every penny!

Hyperbole and a Half tells my life story here

The first time I read it I laughed my ass off because that is SO ME!!!

But then I realized how depressing it really was.

Sigh. . . .
