Many 20-something women fell in love with Bill Murray in "Broken Flowers" or "Lost in Translation." But for us, it was "Groundhog Day." We couldn't get enough of Murray's grumbly, impatient, somewhat creepy newscaster. Needless to say, we're pretty disappointed that not one network—not USA or TNT, or any other random cable channel with three call letters—is showing a "Groundhog Day" marathon.
But enough about Bill Murray. Let's focus on what this most tenuous of holidays is all about: that little rodent who can make or break the last weeks of winter, Punxsutawney Phil.
So, did he see his shadow this morning?
Unfortunately, yes. That means for those of us with S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder, or: don't you dare come near us from January-March) it's six more weeks of winter weather, cheap wine and dirty sweat pants.
We'll be staying in tonight to catch "Groundhog Day on FX at 6. And we'll probably still be wearing tonight's clothes and make-up (if we bother to put it on) when we watch it again tomorrow morning at 10:30.
Thanks, you little bitch, Phil.
