  • Beginning the week right

    Imagine Christopher Walken in orange playing an orange and white tabby cat. And singing and dancing, to boot… As Puss ‘N Boots Yes, indeed, he’s just got his boots in this 1988 Cannon film of the fairy tale by Charles Perrault (attributed here to the Brothers Grimm) and now he’s doing a softshoe on the…

  • Spacemen, Go-Go Girls and the Great Easter Hunt

    I watched this movie in April of 2007 but am only now blogging about it in December of 2009 (but am retro posting this in April of 2007). What makes me sad is I don’t recollect anything about it other than it was really short, which was a plus, and had really bad production values.…

  • The Odd Note

    Seriously, the odd note. I’m sitting here yesterday morning working on photos and there was a peculiar wispy beep sound from the kitchen. We should have no beep sounds coming from the kitchen, but there it was. And then tonight I wake up and come in and sit down and after about five minutes from…

Made up for it today with an earful at the Inman Park Festival. Saw Gwen Hughes and the Swimming Pool Q’s and some of…

  • Insanely crowded day at the zoo

    World of Reptiles Light box enlargement Atlanta Zoo, Tiger Exhibit, April 2007 I don’t know who these people were in front of me but I love the expression on the woman to the far right. I wasn’t aware of her but she was aware of me and the camera and granted a bemused grin. Glad…

  • The Elation of the Rescuer

    I’ve written about the movie The Red Tent previously. Had been a number of years since we’d watched it so pulled it in from Netflix. Marty at first was saying that he couldn’t watch it again, that it was too much. Because he didn’t want to see it and I thought it would be too…

  • Yoga

    I’m trying yoga. At home. With DVDs. The kind where you go, “Wait, no, wait, I like this pose, I can do it, let me really feel it before you race on to something else!” I’ve only been doing it a week (well, I did it for a week a month ago then stopped). Whenever…
