Category: Movie Night

I’m a big fan of cleaning out the clutter. More to do, even after dramatic downsizing last year. But I’ve since discovered, I missed the je ne sais quoi of my long favorite movies which I gave away.

Which explains recent Goodwillbooks.com purchases. Yeah, old stuff on DVDs, not streaming. This is the latest. Highly recommended.

Grand Prix

Halloween, my least favorite holiday. I did channel my inner child and bought a GINORMOUS (110 Piece) Bag of good Halloween candy at my local warehouse club.

Porch light on, seated where I can see Trick or Treater’s and from 6 PM until now, 9 PM, nada. So I’ll keep a few pieces (M&M’s). The rest will end up in the Teachers Lounge at the Triangle Math & Science Academy in Cary. But that’s not what this is about.

After nearly three hours of responible not wanting to disappoint kids in the hood, I’ve sipped (Bourbon & Beer) , warmed a late supper in the oven and surfed the Inter-web thingy.

Checked the Tracking number of my recent replacement purchase of “The Life of Brian” DVD (Immaculate Conception Edition!) from Goodwill Books. It’s somewhere, between here and Oregon.

So I wandered around the news from a place I used to live, South Carolina. Learned that:

Summerton Schools in Clarendon are still 95% racially segregated.

Citadel Graduate and U.S Rep. Nancy Mace had a bad day the Charleston Airport (Disclaimer: I only took Citadel Classes at night, active enlisted US Navy with Tuition Assistance).

The more things change…..

Guilty self indulgence – Waterhole #3

USPS brought this today – eBay purchase. From 1967. NO way made today! But laugh out loud and accurate portrayal of modern society. Pompous military, blowhard men with entitlement attitudes and women, putting up with all the nonsense. And making immigrants, scapegoats!

Wonderful Roger Miller singing commentary: “The Code of the West, is do onto others, before they do onto you!”

The New York Times (yes, I have a subscription) recently ran a reader poll about the best movies of this 21st century. I have, not a clue. Being old, my list is of the 20th century. “American Graffitti” is way high up on my list.

And early yesterday, while listening to the incredible music CD, my bestie and young neighbor surrendered to her dog dragging her to my door where treats are expected, while loading her car to head to her folks place for the holiday. So I dog sat, literally, on the floor, listening to early 6o’s music, while dog, post treats, was receiving her snuggles and Reiki massage. And just as the Boss Lady opened the door to retrieve her, I was, along with my CD Player, in full voice “Goodnight Sweetheart, Its Time To Go” (The Platters 1960) . But that’s not what this is about.

Found a DVD copy of the movie at Goodwill, autographed by the actress Candace Clark aka “Debbie”! He did peel out and they had a bitchin time! It’s on the way!
