• Sudoku

• Crap TV

• Flashbacks to a simpler time

Last night as I was sitting on the couch working on my Sunday Monster Sudoku and my husband was plunking around on his computer (can’t you hear the noise? Plunkplunkplunkplunk. I’m sure it was Very Official IT Business), a person’s voice on the TV brought back memories from the distant past.

“That’s a Cusack!” I yelled. Jason turned around, shrugged, and continued to plunk.

See, I was also in somewhat of a delirious state. Jason and I were engaging in our “tomorrow isn’t really Monday” routine which consists of us staying up way to late Sunday night watching whatever happens to be on TV because the moment we go to bed we’re confirming that we do have to put the weekend to a rest and get back to daily life – and that’s not fun. One might note that getting up on Monday morning without proper amounts of sleep is not fun, either, but hey: if you’re tired enough, maybe you just won’t remember it.

Our crap Sunday show to watch as of late is “Grey’s Anatomy,” mostly because it’s on after “DH” which I fully admit that I do watch but only for Felicity Huffman’s character (which is somewhat of a religious experience as I thank God that I don’t have that many kids under the age of seven). Jason and I don’t really know about the characters on GA – so and so likes so and so, they’re interns, people sleep around, people get sick – some get better and some die. Wow: so unlike other doctor shows. Last night was an important show, I think, but sudoku was so much more important.

And then I heard the voice: the voice of Ann Cusack (which I confirmed this morning – thank you for posting photos, imdb). Ann Cusack is one of The Cusacks which includes beloved John and Joan. Ann had a short-lived sitcom that one of my friend’s from high school was in (well, he dated my friend, and he was friends with my friend’s brother, so yeah: he was a friend). But my favorite appearance from Ann was with three of her other siblings in one of my AllTimeFavorite movies: Grosse Pointe Blank.

And so I leave you with some pearls of wisdom from one of the Greatest Movies Ever: it’ll change your life – trust me.

Martin Blank: They all have husbands and wives and children and houses and dogs, and, you know, they’ve all made themselves a part of something and they can talk about what they do. What am I gonna say? “I killed the president of Paraguay with a fork. How’ve you been?”

Mr. Newberry: What have you been doing with your life?
Martin Blank: Uh… professional killer.
Mr. Newberry: Oh! Good for you, it’s a… growth industry.

Paul: Hey Jenny Slater. Hey Jenny Slater. Hey Jenny Slater.

Dr. Oatman: Don’t kill anybody for a few days. See what it feels like.
Martin Blank: Alright, I’ll give it a shot.
Dr. Oatman: No, don’t give it a shot! Don’t shoot anything!

Marcella: Sir, they’re very unhappy.
Martin Blank: I’m very unhappy.
Marcella: It was supposed to look like a heart attack! He was supposed to die in his sleep!
Martin Blank: Well, he moved.

Debi: What is this I’m feeling? Is it pain? Panic? Hunger? Am I hungry? Who’s hungry?
