There are now outtakes from "The Landlord" on http://www.funnyordie.com. This is my favorite internet video content of the year. Why yes, I am having an attack of baby hormones, why do you ask?

Here is the original:



And here are the outtakes:



Well now that you're done watching that, I write a little...

I spent last weekend in sunny Atlanta, at the bridal shower of one of my best and dearest friends, Becky of Yahootie! It was so, so good to see Beck and many of the other fabulous women I know and love from the Dirty Dirty South. And I got to MEET a bunch of new friends too! Now all I have to do is convince them all to move to Chicago, and the circle will be complete...

Seriously though, I really miss having my closest friends CLOSE to me. From Charlottesville to Indiana to Atlanta and back to Charlottesville, I have always had amazing women around me who inspire me and make me feel at home. I know that they will be around forever, and I love that so much and am so lucky to have them, and I cherish the opportunities to see my girls when I can. BUT I know that I need to meet some fabulous, progressive, feminist girlfriends here in my new home. I know they are out there and I'm trying to make some changes so I can find them easier. I need my friends from afar and I need some here, too!

(and then, when my friends from afar move to Chicago, I will introduce you all and it will be a hell of a party.)

For now, there are a number of high-spirited (AKA drunk) men in my living room and I have to escort them to Sheffield's before they get deep-dish pizza all over my good couch!
