It is a very sad state of affairs when all I can think of writing about is my "new" closet. It's even sadder that the thorough weekend cleaning of said closet is the most monumental thing I've done in the past few months. There are moments when I find myself compelled to just go and turn the light on and admire it, but I've stopped myself short of making a meat sandwich and going in there with a lawn chair and acting like I'm on vacation someplace else.
My body doesn't like the closet cleaning mention either because it still aches in places I haven't used in years (like Poughkeepsie). My lower back hurts and my calves tighten up every time I lay down, but that might be something else.
Surely, I ask myself--because there's no one else here to ask--there MUST be something else to write about than the freakin' closet. Perhaps Jenna Elfman's horrible new sitcom, Accidentally on Purpose, which is on right now, albeit mercifully muted, while I type this very missive. Ms. Elfman just announced she's pregnant in real life (with her second child) while playing the sitcom pregnant woman. Think Knocked Up meets...well, Knocked Up. Yeah, it's a rip-off of a mediocre Judd Apatow movie with those two most mediocre of current movie stars, Seth Rogen and the sitcom-bound Katharine Heigl. Okay in their defense, they also added in she's older, he's younger, thus pre-empting Courtney Cox's horrible new sitcom, Cougar Town. Mr. Elfman need not worry about mixing reality with fantasy, though...as bad as this show is, I'm sure she'll be out of a job by the time baby #2 is ready to ask for his or her close-up, Mr. DeMille, either accidentally or on purpose.
With so much new awful TV on (don't get me started on Jay Leno's The Early Tonight Show on NBC 25 hours a week. What? It's only on 5?) is it any wonder I spent most of my weekend cleaning my freakin' closet?
Don`t made the "little ones" too mad, in the closet, they might put YOU inside!
