Oh dear, I'm going to miss Christopher Lee.
I always liked him as Dracula in the old Hammer movies. Yes, like SubRosa, that was my first Lee experience.

What struck me most about him was how mobile and versatile his facial expressions were; he became every role he ever played with such an intensity that his face contorted to the part. He was as believable as an Asian Fu Manchu as he was a vampire in Dracula, and every role in between and beyond - his facial appearance almost completely different for each role. I think one of my favorite of his expressions was the intensely brooding look - eerie & ominous, and you knew it didn't bode well for someone.
That kind of talent - I haven't seen it in any of the modern actors and actresses, what a tremendous loss.

What a great trailer/link!
Just thought Iīd post this video, itīs quite fascinating. The (supposedly) only outside people to ever have been inside the building of a Bilderberg meeting in history. And even if they arenīt the only ones in history to have done this, itīs remarkable how they were allowed to stay when lockdown occurres. Just watching this video was very creepy and unsettling.

No one posted yesterday about the amazing event that happened in America and Mexico??
Gays and lesbians can now not only get married, but receive full spousal benefits that they were currently denied!
There's s till a lot of work to be done, but I'm celebrating, my husband is celebrating, and a lot of my friends are thrilled to be able to marry their partners now, and not have it dumbed down to a "civil union."

Woo Hoo! I know several people who have waited for a long time to hear that!
Yep, and if I ever divorce my husband, I don't have to move to an entirely different state to marry a hot lady.
Not that I wanna divorce him. I'm pretty attached to him lol
Anyways, a few updates: My second book is out. Third one is being released hopefully before mid-July. Because I was so used to writing short chapters on here, I have to retrain myself to write longer chapters for actual books. So that's set me back a whole lot. I'm getting there, though.
A bunch of other stuff too, as usual. But whatever.

Yes, congratulations on your new book and third on the way! And here is to that hot Texan woman in waiting!

Happy 4th of July!
I've already got the burgers patty'd out with Vidalia onions minced in them; the potato salad is made and baked beans; and have a nice red/white/blue dessert too, lol.
I'm pretty sure everyone here knows about my husband and his fireworks fiascos, so wish me luck that me/my children/my house/my neighbors and their houses = all have a safe 4th!
Happy 4th indeed!
Yum, sounds delicious, mALX.
Good luck with the fireworks.

I had a brat for lunch, and now I'm about to sit down to eat some Yakisoba for dinner, and maybe watch The Good, The Bad, The Weird. Go 'Merica!
They showed the hot dog eating contest on the news tonight here in Australia. What was it? Like 62 in 10 minutes or something. Ha Americans! You guys are crazy.
Is that like a fourth of July thing?
Anyway. Happy Independence!
Sounds like Maxical in the University, mALX! Beware the explosions.

My husband celebrates the 4th of July with a case of Budweiser in one hand and a bag of fireworks in the other. The stories of his mishaps are legendary in this area; from the time he wanted to try a can to house a bottle rocket and the lightweight can tipped with the igniting of the rocket and so the rocket chased all our guests around the property (literally turning corners like it was a heat seeking missile) - to the time he tried to see into the bag of fireworks using a sparkler and set the whole bag on fire so bottle rockets were shooting out in every direction and those huge pinwheels were exploding along the whole side of our house - there are still holes in the wall that come all the way through to the inside.
Not to mention the rocket that is still stuck in the neighbor's roof, the house has even sold with it in there!
There was an incident where he set up a board on a makeshift table to set off those "Bumble Bees" - there was no where safe to hide for at least a mile from those, they went in every direction.
My husband is a brilliant man who can program robots to build anything even when the instructions are in Japanese; but no one would believe that once they have seen him on the 4th of July. The neighbors take bets on how long it will take him to have "an incident."

When I was an annoying child, me and my friends used to like to put M-80s under buckets. They would explode and send the bucket flying high up into the air.
I spent 4th of July alone with a terrified dog and a bottle of vodka. That is my existence now lol

Is this your Dad's dog still? And I know what you mean, we had to kennel Dixie, she went into a frenzy.
Wait, where was Snuggles and Hubby? (and In-Laws, lol).
Hubby had just gotten off of work, my mother and brother were on Padre island without me, and I was at my mother's house watching her dog.. Snuggles SOMEHOW slept. So I drank an entire bottle of vodka.
My dad's dog was given away.

Snuggles must be one of those dream children that can sleep through anything! That is amazing! Aw, I know you loved that dog.
He's really weird...he is so hard to get to sleep, but once he's asleep, you can turn on the lights and be really loud and it doesn't bother him. But no matter what, he's up at eight in the morning. No matter what.
mALX, your fireworks stories are leaving me in a heightened state of anxiety. I cannot imagine how your puppies handle 4th of July. Or the other pets in 100 miles for that matter....
Sounds like he needs to program some robot or system to do the fireworks for him. Set it up the day before and sit back with the Budweiser and a push button. Kind of like those ghouls in NV.
Press and fly!

You are lucky he sleeps in then, lol. My boys were like that as far as hard to get to bed but got up at the same time every day - but they got up at 5 am no matter how late they were up fighting going to bed the night before, lol.
My youngest used to come in my room and turn the TV on, I'd be hearing "Blues Clues" in my sleep and having nightmares about Steve ... but when SpongeBob Squarepants came on, there was no sleeping through that laugh,

Even my old Doberman who wasn't afraid of anything used to go under the farm shed when we set off fireworks, which was unusual with us right there in the back yard where he could be spending time with us (which was his favorite thing).
