It’s been awhile since I’ve posted about Miss Stanwyck. And it’s been awhile since I’ve seen one of her films. The last was “Remember the Night” on Christmas break. I think I watched it several times then. Not as good as her turn in “The Lady Eve,” but what would be? I think I’ll catch her in “Double Indemnity” as the femme fatale with a bad wig or in “Ball of Fire” as the dame that wins Gary Cooper’s heart. Anything to get my mind off of the weather and the day.

Into the flood again
Same old trip it was back then
So i made a big mistake
Try to see it once my way

Groundhog’s Day

Why do we have this on our calendars? Did he see his shadow? Ain't it
always six more weeks of winter? (Around March 20 being the spring
equinox.) Sounds like another Hallmark holiday. Where can I get me my
Groundhog's Day cards and to whom should I send them to?

Yes, we can!

Change we can believe in.

This is from my sitting “on the couch on the off day from being a server at RT” days.

Lump lingers last in line for brains.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop

Marge texted me yesterday if I wanted to go catch Paul Blart: Mall Cop, since I told her that I had wanted to watch it to see what all the fuss was about (tops B.O. 2 weeks in a row?!).

I’m sorry. It was the worst film I’ve seen in years. I really wanted to leave, but Marge kept me there. ;P

I need to post this review for posterity: “Shit sandwich.”

1 of 5 stars. (1 star is the floor. I don’t posts zeroes.)
