My Auntie/Uncle is comin’ to visit this weekend. He’s bringing one of his ex-bfs and the exes current bf along with – so it should be an interesting weekend to say the least. I haven’t seen him in a very long time so it’ll be nice to visit and perhaps have a cocktail or two and take him to the various gay bars in Milwaukee. I think there is a motive behind his visit – I’ll get to the bottom of it – maybe it’s just to get out of the desert, who knows – — – whatever the reason, we’re going to have fun!
Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend and a very happy Friday the 13th!
Swimming in the pond was interesting too – not only was there fish that may be in your way as you swam – but those pesky crawfish would be under foot at times. Mostly – they stayed at the sides away from swimmers – but once in a while I’d step on one or some kid would say he was bitten and cry. I was never bitten but I knew not to linger too long by the sides of the pond either. I would play with my cousins at the beach making castles and putting either crawfish in them or leaves/muck from the pond. Looking back on all the bacteria filled water I drank and things I stepped on – it’s a wonder how I’m still around now.
Roger Corman, memorably dubbed “the Orson Welles of the Z-Movie” and “the Pope of Pop Cinema,” never expected the words “Academy Award recipient” would accompany his name.
His memoir is titled “How I Made a Hundred Movies in Hollywood and Never Lost a Dime” — though the book’s title is wrong on both counts, Corman said. He’s made far more movies, and he admits a few have lost money.
Corman said he’s never envied his proteges for the acclaim and box-office success they achieved later.
I was looking at the TV while working out the other day and saw that it’s orange jacket season once again. It’s coming up fast. It reminded me of the first time I shot a gun – brought back nice memories. Holding the pistol in one hand – squeezing the trigger – aiming – firing – it was awesome. I shot a rifle a couple of times too – it was scary and exciting at the same time. I tried a bow and arrow once – to no avail – but it was interesting to say the least.

This past weekend I went to see the new flick: Where the Wild Things Are. I thought it was great – raw, biting and the boy was nice – great acting job. The monsters were incredible and everything was well handled. I went with my friend Alan who said it was a waste of 2 hours. You can’t please everyone I guess – but with that said – I do understand his point that he wanted more out of the movie. But with it being a kids movie and one that talks about something as raw as anger – there’s little else that movie needed, for me at least. But I digress. I loved the monsters and the locale for the action – I thought the writing was sincere and that the author of the original book was done proud.
