Zooey’s stunt double? No?

I have my tickets to see The Happening on opening day. Will it be good? With M. Night, it’s a crap shoot. But let me tell you what’s not a crap shoot: Zooey Deschanel will be awesome, and more importantly, will have fantastic hair. I have major ZD hair envy. So much so that…well…I cut my own bangs today. I can’t instantly grow my hair to ZD’s length, but I can get the bang effect going and then wait oh-so-patiently while my hair grows, except at some point—soon—I know I’m not going to be able to stand to feel it on my neck and that will be that. For now, though, a girl can dream.

Along with letting my hair grow for like the next four years, I just need to lose 30 more pounds, bleach the ‘stache, and procure an airbrush, then I’m pretty much there. Having an amazing singing voice and being 9 years younger would also help.

You know, it’s not that hard to cut your own bangs. The hard part is to stop cutting them at the right moment.

I hope I don’t forget to wake up at 5:30 tomorrow to take my friend to the airport for her flight to a very important medical project in Africa. That would be bad. Maybe by blogging about it I will for sure remember. After that, I’m taking the DVR back to Comcast so that we’re not paying for the 8 weeks we’re gone. But that means six whole days without cable between tomorrow and when we leave. ::nailbiting:: And when we get back? Perhaps DirecTV. Perhaps DirecTV with the NFL Sunday ticket. (Oh yeah, now you wanna be my friend! Nice try.) Does anyone have any good or bad experiences with DirecTV? The Comcast people like to scare you into thinking that with satellite, you’re going to lose your signal every time the wind blows.

    So true about M.Night – I remember seeing “Signs” at a theater, and as the credits rolled, this girl sighed “I wasn’t EVEN scared.” Random trivia about Zooey: her Dad is Oscar-nominated Cinematographer Caleb Deschanel – he shot “Black Stallion” and “The Right Stuff”, among many others. My friend Julie worked with him once, and said he’s a very nice man.

    Mmm…NFL Sunday Ticket…I want to be your friend. I’ve never had a dish; I’ve had friends who have had various versions of them (directv, dishnetwork, etc) and never had any serious trouble. In fact, we’re thinking of going Dish, but I’ve developed a bad CBC (Canadian TV) fetish–especially their curling coverage–and the dish local channels don’t include it. Maybe after the Olympics I’ll break the TimeWarner ties.

    But a man likes to have his curling…
