Fun Monday - Still hot for Starman

Ari, the author of Beyond My Slab, has asked Fun Monday participants to click their heels three times and become a favorite character in a movie.

This was an easy confession for me, as I coughed this up once before in a Fun Monday about childhood crushes. This movie was released in 1984  --  and I fell in love with Karen Allen's character.  Not because she inspired me in any form.  It was because she got to embrace a naked alien Starman, played by Jeff Bridges. Who, incidentally, was really hot at the time.

Ari ...not only did I click my heels, but I did a little clicking with my mouse in photo shop. 



Starman: Shall I tell you what I find beautiful about you? You are at your very best when things are worst.


Now, you're invited to beam over to Ari's and check out some other Star choices!

Boy, talk about burning your Bridges! That was the movie on a flight I took to LA once, it turned along and uncomfortable flight into an excruciatingly painful one.

Man... I was right with you. I also had a major crush on him and I don't know how many times I watched the movie. Great minds think alike!

I remember that movie. I will have to try to find it. Yes, he was hot (o:
I really laughed as I read your last post. You are a great writer...very funny. By the way, only a man would dare to think of telling a woman something like that. He may have meant well ( in another universe) but it was one of the things Mothers tell their sons never to say to a woman....like "Are you pregnant?" Never in your right mind say that (o:
Reminds me of being in a crowded restroom with 3 year old granddaughter. She is staring at a woman's belly and finally asks loud enough for the whole bathroom to hear..."Do you have a baby in your tummy?" Good grief there was no way out.

I'm sorry Pam but Jeff Bridges did nothing for me. Now Mary Tyler Moore I was madly in love with. Then there was Susanne Pleshette with her deep sultry voice. OH MAMA.

I don't know this movie, but I think it's never to late to embrace a naked alien without photoshopping, lol !

Aliens like this one would please me too, ETs are not so sexy.

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of the make and model that

Apparitions in my Garden

Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio

Bird Voyeur

The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben
