Little Miss Sunshine was on TV tonight, so we watched it, even though we’ve seen it before. Seeing it again, I was reminded of three things:
- Just how very very funny that movie really is
- Just how much accordion is in the soundtrack (I bet a lot more than you remember)
- And just how much I’m unreasonably attracted to old VW vans
If I win a mid-sized lottery (or go middle-age crazy), I think I might seriously consider seeking out someone who rebuilds them and get one of my very own. I think I’d want one with a Westy pop-top, and a better engine than those original old clunkers came with. I’d want to retrofit it so I could camp with the dogs in it. It would have a place for a fly rod and mushroom baskets, and maybe a little fridge, and a safe place for a button accordion.
You would be living the life, my friend! And now I feel like rewatching Little Miss Sunshine too!
