day 71.

backstory 1: missy and i developed an affection for the del rubio triplets from our frequent watching of pee-wee's christmas special. old ladies - sisters, no less - singing a christmas carol in glittery red bodysuits and snow booties is right up our ridiculous alley.

interesting tidbit: a year or two ago, we received a wonderful surprise when the del rubio triplets friend requested me on myspace. (apparently missy had commented about them at one point on my page, so i mus
t have turned up as a potential fan if their people did a search.) serious, serious joy abounded over here that day.

backstory 2: since childhood, missy and i have been obsessed with the pointer sisters' (see a trend here?) song "Neutron Dance". it's even on our 'happy cd'.

interesting tidbit: while our love of the song clearly has to do with its infectious rhythm and inclusion of "whoo hoo's", we think it's magnified by the fact that we both vividly remember some disney video where daisy duck danced around, shaking her little tail feathers, to it. clearly seeing one of our favorite cartoon characters dancing around to a song that we loved elevated the tune to m
agnificent status in our books forevermore.

******

sometimes i think it's amazing how the univ
erse works, and how atypical circumstances just bring about a most perfect moment. like this morning, when missy stayed home sick from work, and flipped on the golden girls, a show i would have never ever put on, and there were the del rubio triplets, performing the "neutron dance".

I'm guessing from that picture that they use an awful lot of hairspray.

Let's hope they don't get too near a naked flame.
