This new show on Showtime called Weeds is hilarious!!! Mary Louise Parker is awesome as the spunky housewife who starts dealing pot to maintain her lifestyle after her husband dies unexpectedly. And the supporting cast is great, too.

In particular we love making fun of the cookie-cutter-ness of the planned community where they live. Planned communities are the new big thing around here, and *so* many of our friends have (inexplicably, in our view) gone down that road. I just don’t get why it’s fun, cool, logical (insert any positive word you can think of here), to live in a house that’s exactly the same as everyone else’s in the neighborhood, and where “the neighborhood association” gets to tell you what kind of fences you have to use, what kinds of play equipment you’re allowed to buy for your kids, what kinds of decorations you can put on your house, etc., etc. Utterly mystifying. The theme song “Little Boxes”, by Malvina Reynolds, perfectly captures our feelings on this topic!
