female roles

I spent this past weekend in a "cabin" located in the middle of no-where West Virginia. No heat, no running water, no indoor plumbing. Only a light blub with an outlet that we jerry-rigged a space heater to. Normally, we wouldn't even have the cabin, we would have stayed in a tent. So why would a pregnant woman torture herself this way?

Because it was the 6th anivesery of the Halloween show my boyfriend started at a hippie commune called Sunshine Daydream. Sunshine Daydream is also where my boyfriend and I went on our first date. And yes it was an early Halloween celebration, Thanksgiving comes early at Sunshine Daydream as well.

...Kyra Sedgwick is one wicked actress. Now this post isn't so much about the Emmys as much as it is Kyra's character Brenda Johnson on "The Closer".

I have a tiny confession to make first and that is this: I loathe southern accents. I resent myself for this but I even make an attempt to avoid the south, period. I mean all the manniersms and formalities and even the mind-set. Well...I can't get past it. It's mostly the accent though. I had a three hour layover in Georgia last week and I couldn't wait to get out of there. This all makes me very sad.

But I have to give kudos to Sedgwick for doing an outstanding job playing the role of Brenda Johnson. The character is so unexpected, refreshing, and spot-on. I can't stand the mannerisms, the accent, or that polite formal smile she always has plastered on her face but I sort of love her character anyways and appreciate how much it contrasts with her rather ambitious inner bitch. She gets the job done and she doesn't take crap from anyone.
