End of the Week Blog!

Universal only has three major movies this coming summer. Drag Me to Hell on May 29th, Land of the Lost on June 5th, Public Enemies on July 1st.

And THAT my friends is all the big news from Public Enemies.

Our good friend John Michael Bolger has an interview over at Johnny Depp Reads, also Rachel has brought it to our attention that JMB now has a facebook account (oh man, does he know what he is getting into?) I'm so sorry for you JMB. I will send you some cheese curds!
==========================

I just love factory and industrial photos. I took this last year on the drive to work.

Anybody else see the moon driving to work today??

==========================
Remember - Water Tour tonight!!! Meet at The Kurth and we will caravan over about 6:15. John Adler our tour guide (who is working overtime for us) will have his lights on in his car so we can find the place when we get close.

Kim Bates reminds us that there is an opening reception for Will Gilmore's paintings from 6-8 tonight at the West James Gallery, 116 W James (Visitor Center). He's done some beautiful landscapes of areas around Columbus. The paintings will hang until January 12th if you don't get a chance to come tonight.

=============================
I bottled up my Milk Stout a couple nights ago. Tasted pretty good and even DJ liked it.

I guess I'll have to make a trip to the Sassy and drop off a couple of bottles.

===================================

Betty Page, the woman who launched ten's of thousands of missiles passed away at the age of 85.

Perhaps the males of the audience will recognize her as she was one of the key personalities for the sexual revolution in the 60's and had become a cult figure.

As artists Olivia de Berardinis (who's idealized portraits of Nurse Bettie, Jungle Bettie, Voodoo Bettie, Banned in Boston Bettie, Maid Bettie, Crackers in Bed Bettie) puts it. "What some see as a bad-girl image was in fact a certain sensual freedom and play-acting - it was part of the fun of being a woman."

Pages official website www.BettyPage.com has received over 600 million hits in the last 5 years.
============================

IT'S BOB BARKERS BIRTHDAY - he's 85

============================
Funny thing . . . for me!! IF you google Public Enemies Universal the 9th hit down the list is this blogs "MANN MELTDOWN - UNIVERSAL SCRAPS PUBLIC ENEMIES" post.

WHOOP!!!
==========================
OH - Amazing Race results

Mark comes in 1st place with 22 points. Everybody EXCEPT DJ gets -15 points for predicting Nick and Star would come in 1st (unreal).

So the official standings are

Mark 22
Jenny 25
Colette 26
DJ 28
Rod 29
Andy a distant 32
==========================
Have a great weekend and I hope to see you tonight!

    These were created with his permission and blessing. And info will be passed on to him. :)

  9. Hi all,
    Just got home from the Water Plant,West James Gallery and The Kurth afterward...
    It was a great time ..We had a nice crowd over at The Kurth and laughed most of the night...
    Some of that laughing was due to me..
    I'm sure there will be a picture somewhere.LOL!!!

    Vicky (Blazn) came over for dinner before hand and we had spaghetti and meatballs.
    She gave me some really cute toe socks with penguins on them...
    and Christmas crackers!
    we left for our venture and she drove...
    Cableman was even able to go this time!

    Hope everyone gets home safely!!!

    Thanks for a great time!!!
