Happy New Year
I had a nice visit back home. Dealt with puppy poop, enjoyed the Eagles winning streak, and went to see The Phantom of the Opera with my nieces at the Forrest Theater. [ by the way, Edward Scissorhands is being made into a musical.]
I didn't get a chance to see any movies , but I did buy some dvds. So no new movies to talk about on this post, but I got something else that will amuse you for the time being.
The other night as I was getting my stuff back into my suitcase, my brother-in-law took me down to the basement and we went through some old junk that's been sitting in their storeroom for years. Some of it was mine so he wanted me to tell him what was ok to throw out. One of the things we found was my sketchbook that goes back to the early 80's. Here's one drawing I will allow my friends to see. The other stuff was just too damn embarrassing. The following picture is embarrassing as well, but it does make some sense to me.
I think I can date it to 1982, when Taco's "Puttin on the Ritz" was a hit and it looks like it was my favorite song at the time. I guess drawing a tall Siamese cat in a tuxedo singing and dancing to the song seemed like a cool idea.The slinky Siamese was the right choice. Glad I didn't go with the fluffy Persian [ at the top right]. I also had trouble drawing the clef.
good grief...

Awww. That is so cute.
I saw that video not that long ago...it was probably on VH1's 'I Love the 80's.' Man, I forgot how creepy-lookin' Taco was.

Too funny Keegs! Had you already seen Young Frankenstein by then or was that a later discovery?

By the way, Keegs...
Got Susie a new book in Flagstaff (or, as Susie would put it, Flaaaaaaagstaaaaaaaaaf) by the name of "Frankenstein Makes A Sandwich And Other Stories You're Sure To Like, Because They're All About Monsters And Some Of Them Are Also About Food. You Like Food, Don't You? Well, All Right Then.
I kid you not! Check it out, it's a bunch of kid's rhymes about the old Universal monsters. Should be right up your alley. My current fave is, The Creature From the Black Lagoon Doesn't Wait an Hour Before Swimming.

By 1982, I had seen Young Frankenstien and knew the song, and I even knew who Gary Cooper was.
[ I was a black and white film geek at a young age]
I'm definately going to check out that Universal Monster book
