A DAY AT CORONA DEL MAR STATE BEACH

WITH MY FRIEND, MELANIE




Despite using sunblock, I got burnt and looked like cooked lobster. It was fun! My new digitial camera worked just fine.

KISSING TRIVIA

From an article on MSN:
*
Kissing is good for what ails you. Research shows that the act of smooching improves our skin, helps circulation, prevents tooth decay, and can even relieve headaches.

CASABLANCA TRIVIA
*
Studio publicity in 1941 claimed that Ronald Reagan and Ann Sheridan were scheduled to appear in this film, and Dennis Morgan is mentioned as the third lead. This was never the case, however, and the false story was planted, either by a studio publicist or a press agent for the three other actors, to keep their names in the press. Meanwhile George Raft was angling for the part with Jack L. Warner, but Hal B. Wallis had been assigned to search for what would be Humphrey Bogart's next starring role. He wrote to Warner that he had found the next movie for Bogart and the role was perfect for him. Nobody else was ever considered for the part.

I've been watching the news about the current economic and political situation. I attempted to make some sense of it and the old World War Two acronym popped into my head:

Yep, that says it all. Situation Normal: All Fucked Up.

Sometimes it is best to remain quiet
and be thought a fool
than to open your mouth
and remove all doubt.
