I Could Be A Movie Star

Hello, JDamn fans! Friday was a big day. Archy had eye herpes again so we went to see Dr. Vickie down the street. Archy got pissed and growled at Dr. Vickie. I was all nice and casual and even said hi to Dr. Vickie. Then Moms got all sassy and asked Dr. Vickie if I could be weighed. Do you know how much I weigh? 23 POUNDS. I have gained 2 1/2 pounds (Dr. Vickie says it's my new Catkins wet food diet...) Dads swears that his finger was on the scale when I was weighed, which would certainly account for the 2 1/2 pound weight gain. Now Moms is making us cut back on wet food. This sucks.


We went home and then Moms and Dads got ready to see Mam and Bamp in Maine. First they stopped in New Haven to see the filming of Indiana Jones IV, which they're taping right around the corner from Moms' office. They had an open call for paid extras a few weeks ago.

I said, "Let's go!" but then Moms and Dads explained that I'd have to get in the car to audition. That put an end to that. They've turned downtown New Haven into the late 1950's, complete with vintage cars. Starbucks is a tavern, Woolworths is back and Claires Cornercopia is now a bakery. It's so fun that the New York Times even wrote about it! They couldn't get very close, but Dads got this cool shot of a motorbike that they're using in the film.


Supposedly, they're doing a motorbike chase through Sterling Library at Yale...that must of cost Mr. Spielberg a lot of kibble cash! Here is a picture of Sterling; I hope that guy reading the book is not there when the motorbike comes.

By the way, they also filmed "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants II" in the theatre where Moms works. (They filmed it in the University Theatre but will say that they're at some summer stock place in Vermont.) The film crew was ridiculously rude, but Moms is glad to report that she and Auntie Deborah saw America (she plays Unly Betty on Moms' favorite show) eating a sandwich at Atticus. Moms reports that America is really pretty and, no, she doesn't really have braces. Or bangs.

K. Anyway. So Moms and Dads drove eight hours to Maine and they had to go as fast as they could because there are lots of moose that are getting in the road. Cars are hitting them so they promised Mam that they drive after dark. They made it home at 8:30PM. On Saturday, there was the Pelkey Family Reunion (Mams family). They got a picture of Mam and Bamp's kids and stuff there. I don't know why they didn't ask pets to be in the picture; Princess and Bulldozer were there.



Then on Sunday, Moms and Dads left Maine wicked early (like 9 am) and drove to Boston for Auntie Heidi and Uncle Jeff's wedding at the fancy pants Fairmont Copley Hotel. They saw Uncle Gilbert(o) and even danced the hora. Then on Monday, they came home and we got treats.

While Moms and Dads were gone, Archy and I slept, woke up, ate, drank water, went to the potty and then started the whole cycle again like a million times.

Purrs and air sniffies,
JDamn - out!

PS - I forgot to mention that Moms betrayed us. She held Auntie Ashley's puppy. Wotthehell. She even looks happy in the damn picture.
