Enough Is As Good As A Feast
We have gobs of food leftover from
Eliana's
Birthday Party yesterday. So we invited Kristy's family over to
help us consume it. We made a small dent in the leftovers but still
have enough veggies, chips, dip, cookies, and cake for many days to
come. Drop by if you are in the neighborhood and have a piece of cake.
Big Love
I'm having my neighbor record this for me:
<http://www.hbo.com/biglove/about/index.html>
Think having three wives is a dream come true? Meet Bill Henrickson
(Bill Paxton), a modern-day Utah polygamist who lives in suburban Salt
Lake City with his three wives, seven children, and a mounting
avalanche of debt and demands. The owner of a growing chain of home
improvement stores, Bill struggles to balance the financial and
emotional needs of Barb, Nicki and Margene (Jeanne Tripplehorn, Chloë
Sevigny and Ginnifer Goodwin), who live in separate, adjacent houses
and take turns sharing their husband each night. While managing the
household finances together and routinely sharing "family home
nights," they try to keep simmering jealousies in check and their
arrangement a secret - polygamy is illegal in Utah and banned by
the mainstream Mormon Church. Adding to Bill's woes are a series of
crises affecting his parents (Bruce Dern and Grace Zabriskie), who
live on a fundamentalist compound in rural Utah, and his ruthless
father-in-law, Roman (Harry Dean Stanton), the powerful head of the
polygamist commune where his parents live. Bold, funny and wholly
original, Big Love explores the evolving institution of marriage
through a typical atypical family. The new series airs Sundays at 10pm
beginning March 12th, immediately following Season Six of The
Sopranos.
I'll catch it later on in the week over at his place.
