I'm reading three books right now.
A historical fiction time-travel mystery novel, Murder In Time (which is compelling enough to keep me reading, but not wonderful); Antisemitism in America by Leonard Dinnerstein, and Drawing Fire: A Pawnee, Artist, and Thunderbird in World War II
The Princess Bride for probably the thousandth time in my life. I love this movie. My daughter (she's 22) is reading the book and wanted to watch the movie again. It is an absolute classic.
Super happy that my favorite classic movie actor, Dana Andrews, is the Star of the Month on TCM for July.
Tonight's films include two of my favorites: Laura and State Fair. I own both on DVD and have seen both multiple times. Will that stop me from watching them on TCM again? Nope.
Okay, this is a slight pet peeve of mine.
My dentist is the only one of my healthcare providers to GUILT me into making appointments. They send constant reminders for cleanings and I get so upset that I just refuse to go. The language they use is designed to make me feel ashamed that I haven't...
Watch on the Rhine with Bette Davis and Paul Lukas. It's such an important movie, and the performances in it are superb. I especially appreciate Lucille Watson's performance.
Refinished 1940s waterfall dresser with original handles! I bought this dresser from Bob, the same elderly man who refinished the antique table. I couldn't resist it. I've had my parents' hand-me-down dresser since college and I needed something that was all mine. Voila!
Saw it in the theater. I was FURIOUS when I left. I refuse to watch it again. I'm a huge Bond fan, but this one...well, lazy writing, a terrible ending...I was incredibly disappointing. Craig deserved a better send off than that gobledygoop.
And here's the antique oak library table in my house! I put my antique lamp, vintage books, and a few other vintage things on it, including a picture of my grandparents on their wedding day. I plan to look for a 1940s phone and some vintage bookends!
My boyfriend and I are still together - going strong for two and a half years now! This year, we moved in together (my daughter, 22, still lives with us) and we have such a lovely place. We're renting until the housing market calms down and we really love it. Right next to a walking trail and we...
Popping in here to ask a question (it's research for my novel!)
I need one of my characters to be wearing a German brand dress shoe in America in 1942. He bought the shoes in Germany sometime in the 1930s, and they were not available in the United States. What would the brand be? What would be...
To Catch a Thief for the thousandth time. But I never let the fact that I've seen a movie a thousand times before stop me from watching it again!
Last night I watched a new to me film called Interlude in Prague. It was about Mozart and his inspiration for writing Don Giovanni. Beautiful film...
