Six degrees of separation--Lukas Haas and Jessie the Cowgirl

so incredibly awesome

For anyone out there who might be wondering...Toy Story and Toy Story 2 can easily be watched twice each, in the course of a morning.  And the best line is when Jessie, from Toy Story 2 says, about the Prospector, "he's never been opened--he's mint in the box."  Right on.

So, over on Phat Farm wedding, Lo has posted pics of the barn at the farm, and I must say, it looks fabulous in all its red glory.  I really love the fact that is an actual old barn, and not like a pole shed or something.  It also has an attached silo.  How cool is that?  Allow me to give you some perspective:  my husband used to work in the retaining wall business.  You know, pavers and blocks; stuff for patios and fancy driveways.  His second job in the industry was for a company that used to make silos, but due to the lack of silos being put up, the company transitioned the business to retaining walls.  According to my husband, who was the Marketing Manager and did all the advertising, the company now only builds one silo in the entire year.  This means the Cooper Farm is so retro, and so legit.  Word.

not so much

Anyway, has anyone seen the movie "Witness"?  The one with the little Amish boy with the huge ears and creepy eyes?  Well, in that movie there is a scene where the Amish community gather together and construct a barn, in its entirety, in a day.  The women serve food and merrily quilt along, and the men do the building.  Even though a barn isn't being built, I think this is what the farm may look like sometime this spring.  But without Harrison Ford.  And a madman with a gun.  Right?  Fingers crossed.

PS--the answer to this blog title, in two degrees, not six, is--Joan Cusack (Jessie the Cowgirl's voice)--to John Cusack (Joan's brother)--to Jeremy Piven (Mark in Say Anything)--to Lukas Haas (both Jeremy Piven and Lukas Haas are in Entourage)
