Arrested Development: The Movie?

A full year after the wittiest TV show, Arrested Development, was cancelled by Fox, I am still sad. I did just finish reading an interview in USA TODAY with Will Arnett, who played Joeb, Michael's older brother/professional magician. Bad news: Arnett said there is no chance of Arrested Development coming back. Good news: Arnett says he is still close to several of his cast members and wouldn't mind doing a movie if the original writers agreed to write the movie. Although he said there are no plans of a movie in the near future. The good news is Arnett has two movies coming out in 2007. I can't wait.

The South rises again

Man fined for tossing pig at hotel
Associated Press
WEST POINT, Miss. - When pigs fly, indeed. Kevin Pugh, 20, of Cedar Bluff, has been fined $279 for tossing a pig over the counter at the Holiday Inn Express in West Point on Nov. 12. Pugh pleaded guilty Tuesday in city court to a charge of disturbing the peace.
West Point Police Lt. Danny McCaskill has said Pugh didn't know the employees of the hotel. There was no evidence intoxication was a factor.
No one was hurt, including the pig, officers said.
"This was the silliest thing I've ever seen," McCaskill said. "Almost every officer we had was involved because the incidents kept happening at different hours."
McCaskill said Pugh was accused of walking into the hotel and throwing the 60-pound pig over the counter.
"He said it was a prank," McCaskill said. "It must be some redneck thing, because I haven't ever heard of anything like it."
McCaskill said there have been four late-night incidents involving animal-tossing at West Point businesses. Twice a pig was tossed and two of the incidents involved possums.
All four of the disturbances took place between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m., McCaskill said.
Pugh is accused in a second animal-throwing incident at a Hardee's restaurant. He has pleaded innocent to disturbing the peace in that case and will appear in city court on Dec. 19.

Kirby

I regret to inform you that this morning Elyse and I donated Kirby to the Golden Valley Humane Society. It wasn't the money or responsibility, it was that he was literally destroying our apartment. He ate several of my books, he would eat purses, shoes, cords, walls, et cetera. He has pretty much destroyed all of our blinds. We felt we had no choice. I also wrote a nice check to the Humane Society and included our traveling case, his cage, two full bags of hay, and a month's supply of rabbit's food.
