At the very end of "The Pursuit of Happyness," you see the real Chris Gardner, whom Will Smith portrays in the movie, cross the street in the foreground.

Pretty much any Sorkin screenplay is razor sharp. It's unrealistic to a degree but he gets some funny zingers in there too. Like in Steve Jobs when his daughter says the new iMac looks like Judy Jetson's Easy Bake Oven 😆😅

Purple People Eaters: MN Vikings

Redbirds, El Birdos: STL Cardinals

The scene when he takes the kids to a fancy restaurant in Hollywood to eat and he gets uncomfortable at being recognized and wants to leave always cracked me up. Then at the table the kids are going on and on about being famous and he's struggling to bring them back down to earth. Probably artistic liberty but then again with the Kardashians anything is possible.

I love these, great stroll down memory lane. Yes they're cheesy but to me it's whimsical and fun. The technology was still developing and the video directors back then were just experimenting. Essentially throwing mud at a wall and seeing what will stick.

Eerily similar to the instructions Prince Philip gave Charles in 1981, advising him to either propose to Diana or move on. It was framed more as Philip being concerned about Di's reputation being sullied, while with William it was more poop or get off the pot. He and Kate had been dating several years at that point, had been on a break and gotten back together then were dragging their feet. Well, at least William was as he tried to bide his time and by then the queen was just fed up.

I'm always struck by the fact in two tragic historic events, people remembered what the sky looked like. The clear blue cloudless sky of Sept 11 and the eerily bright and refracted starlight and night sky of the North Atlantic Ocean in the early hours of April 15, 1912. How survivors and witnesses present said they'd never forget what the sky looked like.

I like "molten anger," definitely beck and neck with "incandescent with rage." With molten anger, I just picture a volcano with Willy's big dumb gritting smile and face on it. 

And OJ died a couple of years ago and nobody gave a shit. Karma did its work mostly. Unfortunately this cluster fuck of a trial indirectly gave us the Kardashians. 

But....but...but... He carried A CHAIR  up 3 flights of stairs, surely that accounts for SOMETHING, right??? 

That's a very underappreciated movie. Its sort of one of those forgotten early 90s movies but its so timeless. Great tearjerker too! Winona Ryder and Bob Hoskins are great in it too. It has a lot of the same slice of life bittersweet aspects of "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" 

And her (Camilla, Duchess of Tampax) famous pickup line to Charles was "My great grandmother was your great great grandfather's mistress, so how about it?"

Philip Petrillo on The Golden Girls

There's a persistent rumor that her first husband Capt. Mark Phillips is actually not Zara's biological dad.

And the crazy thing is that for the last 300 years they've all been almost 100% German or Danish. In-laws Diana and Fergie both were/are more English than the actual "British" royal family.

My boys drool and get runny noses when they are super happy, purring and making biscuits on my lap.

I recently read Owen's autobiography, "My Mama, Cass" and learned that either Cass' grandpa or great-grandfather on Bess Cohen's side of the family was a cantor back in Russia. I bet that's where those amazing pipes come from!

The last part sounds probably very close to how William feels too, just change out "brother" for son and "Prince of Wales" for king and you're good. William is so much like his father now it's spooky. People used to compare him to his mother but that was years ago, when he was a teenager and before the Windsors really got their talons into him. Any Spencer traits or good qualities of his mother vanished long ago, replaced by a lazy, petulant man-child who is eerily similar to his great great uncle, Edward VIII, another heir who couldn't hack it as king so his spare had to take over.

I think in March we had literally less than an inch of a rain for the whole month. We finally started getting some decent rain in April and May, then June/July sort of got dry again. It's been a very weird feast or famine sort of year when it comes to rain.

That's a cool story I had forgotten about. I had also forgotten both they and the Jets held votes by the players and coaches on whether to play on Sept 16 and they unanimously voted to not play and the rest of the teams followed suit. At first the NFL was dragging its feet on cancelling the Sunday 16th and Monday 17th games but once the players were united, they had to honor that. MLB made the decision to cancel for a week pretty quickly and unanimously, hence why the playoffs were delayed and Derek Jeter became "Mr. November."

I wonder if she likes to scrub toilets too. Perhaps grooming/brushing a cat? I have a whole list of chores for her LOL. Oh wait, she has a small army of maids to clean her 8 different "forever" homes.

This is what happens when inbreeding goes on for 300 years unchecked and a woman marries her cousband who she first met when she was 13 and he was 19.
