If you do go out this afternoon to buy new shoes, be sure to take your old ones with you.  -Especially if you're going to buy your shoes from a running store - or at least a good store with a good, knowledgeable staff.  The wear patterns on the soles of your old shoes should help you find your next pair.

Good advice, Imelda ::)

The word of the day reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:  "Nature abhors a vacuum, and so does my cleaning lady."

My favorite quote (about cleaning) is:  "My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance."

Yes...Peter Parker actually removes his mask and reveals his identity to the public (although I still believe he's not letting us know EVERYthing).

Well, a little more:

The imdb - what a place.  Only there would I Was A Fugitive From A Chain Gang and M be considered films noir.

Cool!  I had no idea where the quote came from.

Here's a list: (from GMAILFORUM )

1. Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience!

2. Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.

3. If you're too open minded, your brains will fall out.

4. Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.

5. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you a mechanic.

6. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

7. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

8. It is easier to get forgiveness than permission.

9. For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program.

10. If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.

11. Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of cheques.

12. A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.

13. Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away two weeks before you need it.

14. Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

15. By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends.

16. Thou shall not weigh more than thy refrigerator.

Good Afternoon!

Former roomie/former cast member of Hairspray in Las Vegas and u/s for our very own Kevin Spirtas/former castmate of DR Ben's ever-loving' Ant/and newlywed, Nick, will be dropping by shortly to take stock of what he still has here, and also just to drop by for a nice visit.

Would you ask him to take off his shirt and pose for a photo for his fans?

Hmm... Well, he just left... So... But he'll be back on Saturday to move some stuff out.  I'm sure he'll be more than happy to oblige.

"ROSE-MARIE" will never be the same again!

A first for Brokeback Mounties

Quote
…Jason Tree, 27, and David Connors, 28, are indeed getting married. On June 30. To each other. In Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.

Their nuptials will constitute the first ever same-sex marriage in RCMP history. And yes, the two constables say they have heard the phrase "Brokeback Mounties" several times since they announced their intentions.
And they don't seem to mind the various headlines that read "Mounties get their men - each other."

Started my afternoon watching the recently acquired laserdisc of NANCY GOES TO RIO. It's a marvelous print, and the Technicolor is superb, astonishing. Ann Sothern got top billing in the film, but it looks like Jane Powell got top billing in the ads. Just love the duet the two of them do with "Magic Is the Moonlight."

I'm happy to report that all three of our PBS stations are carrying it on Sunday. One is doing it on Sunday afternoon, and the other two are doing it on Sunday evening. Delighted for the chance to see it.

Next, I decided to rewatch BRIGADOON. I like to revisit it every few months. I love the music, the romance, and I find the wedding dance sequence very moving with the bagpipes playing as Jimmy Thompson and Virginia Bosler dance.

Finished my viewing with the last of the WILD WILD WEST episodes from the first disc in the set. It takes place in a circus with Robert Loggia and Antoinette Bower as the main guest stars. Lots of circus stunts in this one and very entertaining.
