Here’s Christine doing some promotional work for the movie version of Mamma Mia!, where she plays Tanya.
I looooove Christine Baranski. I fell in love with her when she was on Cybill, as Maryann. You know, Maryann really was the original Will & Grace Karen. Christine Baranski invented the wealthy, alcoholic, functionally insane best friend. And I love her for that. Come to think of it, Cybill was also where I developed my love for Alicia Witt, as Zoey. So how come I never fell in love with Cybill Shepherd? Strange.
Oh, and I have to share this: Now that I live in Seattle, I always check the weather forecast for the next day. In Scottsdale and LA, there’s no sense in checking the weather, because it’s always the same: warm, dry and boring. But in Seattle! Oh, in Seattle you never know what the next day will bring. It’s so exciting! As one friend put it, Seattle weather is a cock-tease. Like, it’ll be bright and sunny one day and then pouring rain the next four days. But I LOVE that! I was chatting with a girl at the MAC counter at Nordstroms yesterday (yes, I know where to find friends in a new city), and it turned out she was from the Phoenix area, too, and we were both talking about how we love that it rains all the time out here. I was like, “I don’t think that happens to anyone who wasn’t raised in Phoenix” and she was like, “Yeah, everyone else thinks I’m crazy.”
Anyway, here’s the weather forecast for tomorrow in Seattle:

My response? All alone, in my apartment, I’m like, “Yippeeeeeeeeee!!!!”
