- With the passing of Lauren Bacall, we’ve lost the last living superstar of Hollywood’s golden age. RIP.
- Two weeks from tonight.
- I’m sure Buick’s new micro-SUV the Encore is a nice car, but it bears an unfortunate strong resemblance to a Suzuki SX4. Invariably, short length and tall height is a low-rent look.
- When it’s dinnertime, Molly has figured out that barking at Lea who then yells to Nathan gets her fed much more quickly than barking directly at Nathan.
- This strange thing happens to me when I read or hear something about Anne Hathaway. I think “wow, that’s pretty high-profile work for her in 2014. Good for her!” This is because I’m always initially thinking of Anne Lockhart, who was Sheba on the original Battlestar Galactica. I think I do this because she and Noah Hathaway, who played Boxey on Battlestar Galactica, shared the same opening credit sequence on that show.
- Alabamians Can Read will read Stephen King’s It next, which I generally consider his second-best book that I’ve read even though I decided it fit in the category Something Shallow. Stay tuned for a show date.
- Have to get a stand-in grill soon while I shop for the “real” one. We all miss having a grilling capability.

It is one of my favorite SK books too, although I didn’t like the ending. The sheer terror all the way up to the point where he reveals the source makes it compelling reading. But I remember being let down, thinking “That’s what ‘It’ is”???
Have you read Dr. Sleep yet? Best book he’s written in years.
“It” has always been one of my favorites. King lost me for awhile after oh…Duma Key I guess…his liberal started showin just a tich too much for me…plus he had publically made a few statements that really pissed me off.
But then I heard the Dr. Sleep was a follow-up to The Shining…and who DOESN’T want to know how Danny turned out. It was a really excellent book.
Marianne, I haven’t. I’d want to read The Shining again first. I’ve read it once and seen the Kubrick film a couple dozen times, and they’re not the same story.
Ack! Avert my eyes. Don’t want spoilers before I read It.
I disagree with you on the last living superstar of Hollywood’s golden age. Olivia de Havilland.
Miria, I actually thought of her, but failed her on “superstar.” I don’t think Joe walking down the street would come up with her name nearly as often as Bacall, Bogart, Tracy, etc. That’s all. 🙂
There’s a lot of Gone With the Wind fans out there.
Well, there is that, for sure! 🙂
