The Perfect Gift
Mom gave me this gift early. I love it. Dad calls it The $1200 Scarf because apparently it was spawned at or after The Big Knitting Convention Mom attended last summer. One of the classes was called “Beyond Scarves.” With scarves like this, who needs to go beyond?
Thanks, Mom!
Vacation at home
Kerplunking around the net peeking in for brief moments at my favorite blogs while I finish my egg nog (full fat - organic - spiced rum - yum).
(It’s official: after the seared tuna w/ soy sauce, cream of tomato soup, sour dough bread with butter, red wine and lobster pot pie I devoured at dinner — I’m passing on WW tomorrow a.m.. We’re within the 12 days of Christmas, right? There will be no stepping on the scale for me until NEXT Friday.)
Where was I? Favorite blogs. You know what brings a smile to my face? What has inpsired me to click “NEW POST”?
It’s going to Wineymomma’s blog and seeing Fabooj comment. It’s going to Jenn’s blog and seeing Nadine comment. Going to Fabooj’s blog and seeing Wineymomma comment. Going to Nadine’s blog and seeing Not Goth’s comment. Going to Not Goth’s blog & seeing Jenn’s comment. Going to Transplantingme’s blog and seeing Hiro from Heroes and knowing that his joy in the image represents her joy.
You veterans to this world are probably rolling eyes at my green wonder. . . but I’ve gotta pause to say, I like the web we weave.
“He must have thought it was White Boy Day. It ain’t White Boy Day is it?”
Gary Oldman in True Romance.
One of my favorite performances of all time.
All time.
Oh, there are the scenes between Hopper and Walken, between Arquette & Gandolfini, Gandolfini & Pitt . . . “Conden-send to me Mother Fucker,” . . . scenes to live for. Literally. And then there’s Val in the bathroom. But Gary’s performance is my favorite. Of all time. All movies.
True Romance is the first movie I saw during the first 24 hours after I touched down in Los Angeles for the first time ever. We saw Prince & his entourage exiting the theater from the previous show. He sauntered his platforms right into a long black limo & rode away. We were in line for seats licking ice cream cones trying to act like we weren’t watching him. Then we saw this gem, gem, gem of a movie. It’s no wonder I moved here 8 months later and haven’t left.
Anyway . . . Enough quotes from What’s On TV Right now, here’s a glance at how Vacation: Day One started out before I got mesmerized with Drexl for the 46th time.
Day One is going to be hard to top.
