I don't patronize bunny rabbits.

So, apparently they are going to make Heathers into a musical! Now, I love Heathers, and I like musicals (love some), but I am not so sure that these things should meet. I used the phrase, "What's your damage, Heather?" last week (and no, I don't have any friends named Heather.). Anyway, I know it's campy, but it's awesome. If ABC Family channel showed it as much as they show Bring It On, I would be watching it all the time, but alas, I have to make do with the sheer brilliance that is Bring It On. Which I totally make people who haven't seen it watch. I made my friend Kristine watch Boondock Saints recently and she was not impressed. I fear we cannot be friends any longer. Sorry, Kristine. I asked her if she at least liked Bring It On and she was like, uh, yeah, but what does that have to do with anything? I don't know, but apparently they are part of my litmus test for friends.

Also, Shannon is going to NY with her sisters and step-mom and they want to go see a show and she was like, Avenue Q for the win! I was talking to her about it because Mark used to talk about it rather a lot and it seemed like a musical she would enjoy more than others, and now she really really wants to see it. And really, I've not seen it, but what's not to love about a musical that has songs called, 'What Do You Do With a BA in English?' and 'Schadenfreude?'(I love the word schadenfreude-it is awesome. As my dad says, a German word for a German concept. And yes, I know he didn't make that saying up.) Hey Mark, don't you have the book Wicked? Can I borrow it?

wow!!! I made it in one of your blogs. Im sad though that our friendship was almost tossed out of the window due to our different tastes in movies. At least we have "Bring it On".

What do you mean, ALMOST? ;) And I like to think that everyone enjoys Bring It On. Besides, Boondock Saints is the only St. Patick's day movie I can think of. Everyone's Irish on St. Patty's day!

Avenue Q is hilarious, if not terrible offensive - to everyone, though. Also, yes we have the book and we have at least one other in the series and you are welcome to borrow them.

You made me watch bring it on while we wrapped Christmas presents one year. Do you remember that? Also, I totally LOVE the Boondock Saints if only for Willem Dafoe's character.

Of course I remember! And I know you love Boondock Saints; you guys are the ones who made me watch it. :)
