Don't feel great today, but it's not covid according to the test.

Good catch there, the Antoine Doinel ones.

I'm having a very lazy afternoon and trying not to let three cats spoil it.

Love Die Hard, but I have never seen any of the followups! I've always intended to see at least the second film.

It is the best.  I also enjoyed the rest of the series.

At least there's some good news - that it's not covid!

From a random tumblr link, I came across this article:

And number 29 is Miss Allison Hayes:



“It’s impossible not to be charmed by the elegance of American actress Allison Hayes and her four-legged partner in the publicity for the film Chicago Syndicate.”

Liz Larsen is getting good reviews for The Baltimorons.

[John G.]

Maybe she sings Lovers on Christmas Eve in it. It is set on Christmas Eve.

[John G.]

Still not feeling energetic.

I sorta met Peggy in Ohio in 1977 or 78. She was a children's librarian in the Cincinnati library system, and she was the girlfriend of Eugene Sher, a wonderful actor from North Carolina. He lived in Cincinnati, but he was working with his brothers in their carp;et/flooring store in Middletown. In 1978, Eugene followed his dream of becoming a professional actor, and he and Peggy moved to an apartment at East 80th Street and First Avenue.

On their move, their U-Haul had a faulty issue and around 3:00am on Route 80, somewhere in the middle of nowhere, the truck caught fire and everything they owned was destroyed. U-Haul gave them a huge settlement, and Eugene decided two things:
  1. He would pay for an off-off-Broadway showcase and star in it.
  2. I would direct it.

[elmore3003]

So, in June 1979, Eugene paid for my round-trip ticket to New York, and I moved in with him and Peggy. Our friend Wayne had been staying with them before I moved in. What I didn't know was that Eugene was telling me I could stay as long as I needed and he was telling Peggy, who was sick of houseguests, that I was looking for an apartment. By my second week, she was sick of me - in retrospect I cannot blame her - and by the third week I knew I had to get out. By then I huad decided I was not returning to Middletown, so I cashed in my return ticket and called my parents to ask for $1,000 to find an apartment. On a July Saturdat, I moved into my college friend Karen Eifert's guest room at Riverside Drive and 96th Street. Peggy and I had a very frosty farewell. I'll never speak to her again, I thought.
