Posted on January 26, 2008 by Steve

I doubt the birthday boy reads my site but this is Somara’s contribution to a party we are/were attending. She wanted to go with a theme or idea for the recipient yet all I could think about was his motorcycle, … Continue reading →

Posted on January 14, 2008 by Steve

Thanks to the backlog created by getting sick, the holidays and my general apathy, I have made a promise to myself that I can’t rent any new movies until I finish posting the last three I saw. I also felt … Continue reading →

Happy Birthday Mary

Posted on January 8, 2008 by Steve

In the past I have rudely forgotten that Mary’s birthday is the same as Elvis (73) and David Bowie (61). I remembered this year because it was staring me in the face on my Now Up2Date program. It also helps … Continue reading →

Posted on January 7, 2008 by Steve

Finally! My original plan to do something involving Converse had to be shelved. Heck, even they didn’t have anything new on their own site until a couple days ago. Nice to see a Fortune 500 company (division of Nike since … Continue reading →

17 down, five to go until 78

Happy 50th Birthday Julian Sands

Posted on January 4, 2008 by Steve

I have no idea why he gets so many parts as Germans, Russians and other Eastern European types. Imagine how much cooler the movie version of Interview with the Vampire could’ve been with him playing Lestat instead of the rather … Continue reading →

Pardon my virtual dust

Posted on January 4, 2008 by Steve

Coming up with an appropriate theme for January 2008 has been a stumper. On the one hand, it’s the centennial of Converse, maker of my favorite shoes, but getting their logo to fit in my banner wasn’t easy. As for … Continue reading →

Happy Fourth Anniversary Sonia and Philippe

Posted on January 3, 2008 by Steve

To celebrate, they’re off to Las Vegas! Neither of them have been there before so this will be a very special trip. I hope they won’t be turned off by the weather, Winter is especially dry and cold. Sonia said … Continue reading →
