Well, you've read the notes, the notes had beauty and even a little beast, and now it is time for you to post until the beautiful and beastly cows come home.

Tuesday morning greetings! Last time I was the first post after BK, I was in Europe. Alas, today it's just insomnia.

Good morning, all.

Off to work early. Got to get my 10 hours a day in this week, because we contractors don't get time off for good behavior on the holidays. So, it's get your 40 or lose for the next two weeks.

Hmmmm.....I knew Annette lived in Studio City when she was working at Disney......but I had no idea she lived across the street from MR BK's current home! Lovely......so your neighbor is Gina. I think her name is Gina Portman now.

I used to have a picture of the house.....maybe I will be able to find it.... Seems to me it was a nice one story ranch type house on a corner.....and they may have put in a swimming pool with some of Annette's money.

TOD:

JAWS
E.T.
RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK
SAVING PRIVATE RYAN
SCHINDLER'S LIST

I'm planning to pass on WARHORSE.

I don't like seeing movies in which animals are hurt.

Just a couple of pics I found on the net - that show a bit of the house. It was probably given to Gina by her grandparents Joe & Virginia.....

For all practical purposes, it is a Monday morning. And it feels like it.

Yes I am off in a few minutes to do my Monday shopping.

That Ska video has 7 dislikes - how could anyone dislike the Jamaica Ska?

Good morning, all!

All the running around and partying this week has caught up with me. I'm not feeling sickly, but I am feeling very very tired. I had to force myself to get our of bed and move about. I suspect it will be a quiet day in which I accomplish very little and lounge about quite a lot.

Great photos, JRand.

DR Elmore, take a day off from it all and cocoon. Play some music, read a magazine, watch a favorite dvd. Just veg out.

I drove to the SpeedLine train station this morning and when I pulled up to the parking lot gate, I reached into my pocket for my SpeedLine pass and realized that I forgot to put my SpeedLine pass in my pocket. I not only forgot that pass, but also my Septa train pass and my office keycard. So I had to drive all the way back home and then all the way back to the SpeedLine train station. (I could have simply paid for the SpeedLine fare and bought a one day pass for the Septa train, but I would have really missed my office keycard.) Anyway, I got in only a half-hour late. I'll make up for it by leaving a half-hour early this afternoon.

DR TCB hope you feel better today!

Good morning - again. I went back to sleep in my chair not long after my earlier post and slept until 9:30. I feel better than expected.

Thanks DR JOHN G - those are from the inner web, but I have a pretty nice collection.....somewhere.

I picked up Wally Lamb's "Wishin' and Hopin'" at Christmas and Annette is the cousin, of sorts, of the main character. I don't know if she enters the picture as an actual character at any point.

I just wish she made "Serial Mom" for John Waters. Much as I love Kathleen Turner in that movie, Annette would have been much more insane.

I like most Steven Spielberg films....who am I to say.....but I have a BIG problem....

I liked JAWS.....the story of a few men....but mainly one....fighting a nemesis.....

I looked forward to CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND....I thought it would be the same.....but NO.....the man eventually ended up fighting the whole army who didn't believe him.....and hundreds of people were brought in for him to struggle against....I thought it would be one man's experience with said encounter.

THEN.....Poltergeist and ET did the same thing.....it's not enough that our hero fights his foe....he has to fight the ENTIRE WORLD.....

And so it has gone in most of the rest of his movies......MOST.....so I am not a BIG fan.

I do want to see WAR HORSE, but might wait for the Blu Ray......

TOD:

Spielberg:
DUEL
JAWS
CLOSE ENCOUNTERS
RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK
E.T.
THE COLOR PURPLE
EMPIRE OF THE SUN

Scorsese:
ALICE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE
TAXI DRIVER
RAGING BULL
THE COLOR OF MONEY
THE AGE OF INNOCENCE

I realize that I've stuck pretty much to their earlier works but that's how I roll.

Hmmmm......the address I have for Gina doesn't match the house picture of Joe and Virginia.....so maybe it was Jack and Annette's house before they got divorced.
