Possible Actor’s Strike and Husband Unemployment
Another strike looms in Hollywood. This is very sad. This could seriously slow down progress on the upcoming “Terminator” sequels. Please don’t let that happen. And on a graver note, this puts all film workers’ jobs at risk. The writer’s strike last fall was awful. We have neighbors who didn’t work for 6 months. These weren’t the millionaire writers, but the “little guys” who do behind the scenes jobs.
If there is a strike of actors, it will totally shut down TV and movie production in Hollywood. That might mean my hubby would be unemployed for the first time in many years. Fortunately, I can support us on my salary. The problem is, if he has no job, he’ll be home (where I work) ALL THE TIME. Plus, he will get depressed and act mean. It’s something with guys and jobs. I don’t get it because I LOVE it when I don’t have a job.
If he were home all the time, I imagine this could begin to feel rather crowded. And messy. And often stinky. Does your husband ever stink? Um, I didn’t ask because my husband stinks. Because he doesn’t. He’s perfectly clean at all times and smells like sexy cologne. He doesn’t take a shower only once every…oh I don’t know…4 days or something. No, and his clothes, as I have told you, never get worn 20 times in a row. No sir. He certainly never has gas that smells bad. And his wearing two shirts (as described here) in the 100 degree Hollywood heat–well, that just makes him smell even better than usual.
Um, moving right along, here is a link to one of my favorite online videos EVER. It is SO funny. Christina Applegate plays the spoiled wife of a Hollywood writer while he was out of work. It starts a little slowly. I will link it to you here rather than embedding it because the server has been slow due to many visits (thank you;). I think I need to get more bandwidth or something. I’m checking on this.
PS. The above photo is Christina Applegate with her very, very, incredibly hot ex-husband. I bet he doesn’t stink at ALL.

Hi Insane Mama,
I have no trouble believing that.
I have three boys. They are little. I am now prepared for them to get stinky much sooner than I thought. Thank you for this warning.

Your blog is cracking me up. I’m having the most fun poking around here and reading.
