    Vintage Desk Help

    The local historical museum has a wonderful thing in it called a Wooten Desk -- and I am in love with this thing, and those like it.

    The Moustache

    I feel very moustachifically inadequate.

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    I've earlier mentioned my dad's first car -- an Auburn Boat Tail Speedster. This is him lounging on his Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser 98 in either 1946 or 1947: I fantasize about trying to find one in an identical two-tone green for myself. (All of dad's cars were either dark green or black.)

    What are you wearing today??

    Brilliant. That is amazing.

    Recasting " The Thin Man" Article

    Guy Pearce. I wouldn't have thought of him, but... dang. I could see that. I agree that I'd think of him more as a good villain guy, but then Bogie used to be a "good villain guy" until lightning struck. Depp isn't bad for that role, but the problem is, his "drunk and dissolute" act is already...

    Loungers' Pets

    Mr. Bobo really likes playing out in the snow. Me? Not so much.... ;)

    Untouched Paris apartment

    The windows (per the article) were shuttered. Man, what a find. That sort of thing never happens to me. :(

    What modern invention/innovation do you wish had *never* been developed?

    I dunno, I've opened a few cans with MY P-38: Bottles, too. ;)

    What modern invention/innovation do you wish had *never* been developed?

    Remember when "a season" of shows was 26 (or more!) episodes, each with only ONE rerun PER YEAR? Now we have shows with ten or 12 episodes in a season, and they're rerun seemingly randomly forever. It's really easy to lose interest in a show when there's no new material or you have to wait eight...

    Your favorite movie quotes

    Along similar lines: "I just feel kind of... invincible." "Everybody relax, I'm here." "We really shook the pillars of heaven, didn't we, Wang?" I almost forgot my favorite: "Son of a bitch must pay!"

    What are you wearing today??

    There's a part of me that wants to say this makes you look a bit Bolshie. ;)

    Maltese Falcon Replica

    I'd just like to throw in a note, here. I have one of Oz' dinguses (dingi?) on my mantel, and it is GORGEOUS. Folks actually comment on it. :)

    Doc Savage

    That's pretty much true.

    James Bond: Skyfall

    My favorite Bond flick of all time is "Goldfinger", followed by "From Russia With Love". They're just as perfect as it can be. Gadgets, but not overwhelming, unrealistic gadgets. (The "invisible car" in... which -- "Tomorrow Never Dies"? "Die Another Day"? -- was just horrible.) The villains...

    Doc Savage

    I love Doc Savage. Even enjoyed (through squinted eyes) the movie, more or less. I had no idea there was a convention. Hm. I've been wanting to visit Arizona anyway...

    Moustache wax review

    Maybe that's what I need to try, then. Bounder it is, then. Bounder for a bounder, eh, what? :)

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Gin (Hendricks. Yum!) and tonic. Hendricks seems infused with cucumber (!) so I don't squeeze a lime wedge into it. Another new one I have: 2 oz spiced rum and 4 oz of Dr. Pepper. I call it "Capt. Morgan Pepper, PhD." :)

    Loungers' Pets

    I don't think I've introduced Mr. Bobo. I've had him for four months now-- he's an 8-year-old shelty/golden rescue. He's the most chill dog ever. All he wants is to be in the same room with me. :)
