| Introduction | This is a diary. I daydream here, and brood, and rant--and goof when the mood takes me. I love bad movies, good books, classic television, feisty cats and Jongeward's Bake and Broil pies, which I have not had in years which is probably just as well. (But if you're ever in Long Beach, CA they're on 37th and Atlantic Avenue. Order a slice of the Lemon Lush pie--in fact get a whole one to go--your taste buds will NOT be sorry. Your waistline, that's another matter.) |
| Interests | Graphic art, sixties and seventies films, music of all kinds, faraway places with strange-sounding names... |
| Favorite movies | Marnie, Vertigo, Shadow of a Doubt, School Daze, Valley of the Dolls, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, Return from the Ashes, Gilda, Goodbye Again, Belle de Jour, Un Homme et Une Femme, The (1968 original) Thomas Crown Affair, Carmen Jones, Cover Girl, Mr. Skeffington, The Bandwagon, The Cranes Are Flying, Toys in the Attic, Topkapi, Adam's Rib, It Should Happen to You, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, A Face in the Crowd, Days of Heaven, Tess, Repulsion, and too many more to mention here! |
