We Love You, Lia Pamina!
Lia Pamina first appeared here as a comment writer, from almost the start of the blog, when she was a self-proclaimed “retro 60’s girl” attending college in Spain. Now she’s living her dream. Look at Lia now!
The Secretary’s Secret!
This 20-minute video would make a good 7-page comic book story, so I had no trouble guessing the ending, but what I didn’t see coming was the secretary. You have the advantage of seeing her in the preview picture, called a poster frame. Hey, is that……..? Yes, it is.

Neil Innes has died. I’m shattered by this terrible news and will write more later.

“Ford v. Ferrari” is my second favorite buddy movie this year with two superstars that’s set in 1960’s Los Angeles. Well, mostly in L.A., as the last third is the 1966 Le Mans Grand Prix in France.

Oh, for the days before pollution controls, when leaded gas cost pennies per gallon!
What’s my favorite buddy movie this year — or any year — with two superstars set in 1960’s Los Angeles? Heck, it’s one of my favorite movies period.
