Well my mom had a good Mother's Day. The flowers were amazing, so nice in fact that my mom called the floral shop to thank them. The chocolates went over well too. It turns out that I didn't have to rake the lawns, but my mom got a new rake outta the deal.

How'd the dinner go? Well it went well, except my future brother-in-law...

In the ten years before Steve McQueen died in 1980, he tried to get a personal project called Yucatan produced. Now Lance Sloane, a friend of the family who Steve McQueen treated like a son, has pulled two trunks out of the McQueen basement. The trunks are full of meticulously detailed notebooks with characters studies and storyboards for the project which was never to be...

Mmmm, Steve McQueen. He is fabulous, isn't he? I can never see The Thomas Crown Affair or The Great Escape too many times. This new project sounds fascinating.

Thanks, we just have our good days and bad days from time to time i suppose. And it is so very nice to have someone there for me.

My mission today is to find a suitable card, pick up guinea pig supplies from my vet across town, find out what my mom would like to do for mom's day,...

I'm really enjoying the new Calexico album Garden Ruin.

felt a tremor stir beneath my breath
that forecasts storms on the gallup poll
waking up from the nightmare news
hoping to read a sign in the morning air

nothing changes here and nothing improves
all say my friends who just want out
and leave these troubles behind
scatter like paper in the eye of...

I have a couple of Calexico albums but I'm afraid I find them a little... tiresome after a while, if undoubtedly accomplished...

I am glad to see that you are familiar with the works of Whitehouse. I thought this site was the kind of place I might get some recognition. Needless to say all my co-workers, acquaintances and friends looked blank when I mentioned Whitehouse and uncomprehending when I explained the principle.

I am sad to hear that you don't feel deserving of your wonderments. I am never quite sure how I feel about such matters. I guess on the one hand I am scandalised that a fellow as terrific as I should be living alone on modest means rather than surrounded by jacuzzi babes and riding in a stretch Navigator (sorry - I'm still on that hip-hop tip!); but, on some other level - less accessible but more profoundly rooted - I must not feel deserving of anyone else's love.

Last night, around at Emma C's, I wanted more than anything to stroke her hair, to put my arm around her, to kiss her goodbye. But I didn't, couldn't.

It's odd. I was glancing through imdb and noticed an entertainer who'd killed himself. I clicked on the 'suicide' link and somehow got drawn into a world of Hollywood tragedy.

Well actually not just Hollywood, it seems actors the world over are a fragile, suicide prone bunch. Some of them gave up on life with barely any credits to their names. Others pulled the plug...

entertainement is such an odd environement. put together the coldest, bitter, i-don't-care-as-long-as-i-make-money businessmen and businesswomen and mix that with a bunch of loonies, attention angry, sometimes-drama-queen and what do you expect ? wink

I watched the final instalment in the Antoine Doinel movies by Truffaut yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed them. Paris in the '70s certainly appeals to me. I did some reading about Truffaut. It's a pity he died so young. frown

I started watching Libeled Lady last night. It's a '30s romantic comedy with William Powell, Myrna Loy, Spencer Tracy and Jean Harlow. It's been really enjoyable so...

Thank you. The joke was great. biggrin

I saw the Truffaut movies at the library; Lake Oswego has a pretty good foreign collection.
I just got The Wind Will Carry Us, a very "realist" Iranian movie about some guys going to a remote village to film a death ceremony. One of those slow-going movies that ends up being quit satisfying in its humanity n such.
I haven't seen The Libeled Lady. It's been a while since I got an older film; there's some I always think of getting, like Double Indemnity, Dark Passage, etc.

It's amazing how much a good workout can lift your mood. I was feeling down in the dumps. I biked hard for 45 minutes and now I feel great. robot

You know, at the risk of incurring administrative wrath, I'm not as happy with the way SG presents the pictorials on the first page these days: seeing all of the sets with the comment count right under them seems cruel. I always feel sad for the women who don't make 200 comments. robot

I think I'm going to stop commenting on pictorials as I'm starting to...

Thanks, you guys should so go its fun. Let me know when/if you do ill meet ya there. However i wont be able to go for the next like 2 weeks due to prior plans but after that im gonna go when i can smile
rodan:
Yay for funky glasses!

I hardly ever comment on the sets FWIW, it does seem a bit weird to me. "Wow, you're hot babe!" - sigh.

And making comments on the artistic quality seems a bit weird too for the most part given the REST of the comments tend to be "Wow, you're HOT!"

There's a small problem with my bed. I can't get out of it. I slept 9 hours last night and still had to use superhuman will to leave it this morning. Did I mention I bought comfy new pillows too?

I no longer have a bed in my bedroom. Where my bed used to be an urban oasis now lies. It's all veiled dancers, gently...

A good bed is a good investment.
I went for the king size with super mattress after having to sleep on an air mattress for a couple of months.
groove:
Yes, a good bed is so critical! Imagine, you were spending 1/3 of your day (approximately) in the old, mishapen bed... a good, comfortable mattress does a world of good for your health and sanity... here's to both! smile

I have called my new bed after my first crush, Patricia. I don't care what anyone thinks, we're just two crazy kids in love. Damn the world!

OH, and before I go curl up with her, I should mention I just saw a perfectly charming french movie, Baisers vols (Stolen Kisses). I think I've developed a crush on Jean-Pierre Laud as well. I'm going to...

Gotta see Bed and Board, then. Speaking of Laud cameos in Goddard films, he has a funny little bit in Weekend, a film which is great for about the first 2/3 and gets kinda bogged down... but yeah, see those and The 400 Blows (w/ kid-Laud).

So today is the day my new bed and air conditioners are supposed to arrive. I planned the day as a wasted Saturday as they said delivery between 9 and 5, and my experience with other deliveries lead me to believe it would be after 5.

I'm in bed about twenty five minutes ago, 3 minutes to 9, and my phone rings. It's the delivery...

Hello, small elephant with an umbrella.

Never thought I'd see you again.

P. S.

Dumpsters make great toilets. If you've never tried it you don't know what your missing.

So in the interest of being more fiscally responsible, I finally bit the bullet and contacted two online credit reporting agencies to get a current financial snapshot.

It was a lot better than I thought. It's interesting to see the number of data errors that were on both reports though. I'm pretty middle of the road credit wise. It's sorta inspiring me to start paying...

It's an "all of the girls there would, in general, be totally bored and not content with a guy like me, not to mention that I'm between 10 and 18 years older than them" type of sigh. She had mostly dark blue hair with either black or some other dark, dark lipstick, a slender face with beautiful angles and lines, and IBTs with a proportionately small body - probably five feet two or less. She could probably pass herself off as an elf, if she wanted to. I don't recall if she had any tattoos. They were small or minimally visible if there were any. I'd guess she's early 20's. We even made eye contact at least two or three times as my chair was being turned towards her and she smiled when I smiled at her. But I think she was probably just intrigued that someone wearing dress slacks, dress shoes, a dress shirt, and a tie was getting a hair cut there.
