Running Matilda - Photos

Run, Matilda, Run. It's not Updike, but it sure is fun.

It seems like every time we see young Matilda she's got a spring in her step, and that is what it's all about. Very Hokey-Pokeyish.

Don't let this last photo fool you, there's still spring there, it's just getting some air.

RIP, John Updike

HerBadMother — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 18:42:00 GMT

John Updike, one of America's greatest contemporary writers and father of four, died this morning.

The Pulitzer-prize winning writer and chronicler of sex and malaise in postwar America died of lung cancer, according to his representatives. He was 76 years old.

From Nicholas Latimer, director of publicity for Knopf:

"It is with great sadness that I report that John Updike died this morning at the age of 76, after a battle with lung cancer. He was one of our greatest writers, and he will be sorely missed."

JOHN UPDIKE
March 18, 1932 - January 27, 2009

Rest in peace, Mr Updike.

Run, Katie, Run

Katie, be the rabbit. Na-na-na-na-na-na. Yes, I'm channeling both John Updike and Chevy Chase. What? Would you rather have Soulja Boy and Duane Chapman (that's Dog the Bounty Hunter)?

Katie Holmes is planning to run in the NYC marathon tomorrow. She has supposedly been training for the race. I think we all know she's really training for escape. I watch TV, I know how this works. Here's the plan, Katie, get your pregnant ass on that pavement and run until the currency changes. I suggest north. You've had the training. You have the desire. Run where Xenu ain't.
