Nice haul from Big Lots tonight: "Casablanca," "The Sting," "Breakfast at Tiffany's," "Cimmaron," and something called "Gumshoe" with Albert Finney.

"Breakfast" is in now, thanks to BK's recent notes on watching it again.

Peggy Lee is asking "Why Don't You do Right?"

This was one of my favorite songs when I was a kid.


Exactly when were you a kid?

The story;

I was in my backyard and I heard a noise. I looked into the garbage pail and saw a squirrel waist deep in water. I took pity, ran inside, got some plastic gloves, and reached in to rescue the forsaken animal. It went well until he was an inch from the ground I was lowering him too- then he bit me.

I can now say that that was the worst pain I have felt in a while- like my finger was trapped in a door or a clamp or something. I shook him off, ran inside yelling "A squirrel bit me!" and found that I had two small puncture oles on my finger and a scratch on my hand, only one hole was actually bleeding though.

The next few hours were spent at the emergency room. =_= I'd been home from Philidelphia less then an hour, and had already disrupted the entire day and caused a mass panic among my family and a few friends.

oops.

Of course, tipping the bin over never occured to me until five people asked me why I didn't do it. Oh well. Hopefully I won't be taking the medicine for forever. ^^"

But I may turn into a were- squirrel next full moon. >> <<


I believe were-squirrels only come out during new moons.

Fathom is showing West Side Story in theaters Nov 9th. Does anyone know if version they are showing is the same transfer with all the problems that have been discussed on line? Will it have the intermission tha it had in the original roadshow?

In honor of the Vixter, let's all kill a squirrel today.  In Arizona.  Where I hear Cason lives.

XD That defeats the purpose of me SAVING him/her/it Bruce.

Gotta go- must make food and make sure nothing is due for school. Love to you all!! Miss you!!

Just be careful next new moon if you start getting a craving for peanuts.

So sorry to hear about your squirrel bite, The Vixter. You were doing your good deed, but he didn't know it.

ADD INFO:

It says on their website:

This event presentation has been modified from its original 1961 release to fit the screen.

I wonder what they mean by that?

Keith was bitten by a little dog as he rescued it off of the freeway.  It turned out to be a very sweet dog & a very nice woman he worked with took the dog home with her.  The rescue happened on the way to work.  Since I was pregnant he made me stay in the car while he managed the rescue.  We both worked in Pasadena at the time.

Jane, I was sorry to hear about your bee sting. There's an excellent product called STING STOP that I keep on hand. It's also good for itchy rashes.

Thank you.  If I see it I'll get it.  Friends who hike say they carry meat tenderizer to make a paste if they get stung by anything when hiking.  I carried it for years & never got stung-guess I shouldn't have stopped.


I don't care how much you use, Jane; I just don't think that bee will ever be very tender.

I'm sure they'll be showing the Blu-ray of West Side Story, and consequently it will have the flaws - it will also have the intermission, unless they somehow bypass it.

Yes.  They said I need someone to drive me home on Tuesday, so I figured I should wait until Wednesday to try driving to work.
