Yesterday I succumbed to a cold…. or a flu. I can never tell the difference. My body was sore, my throat was scratchy and I felt lightheaded. My voice dropped an octave or two and I wish I could say that I sounded sexy like Lauren Bacall, but a proper comparison would be Bea Arthur. I am feeling better today but not 100%.
Yesterday I found out my favorite bar closed. I don’t really have a favorite bar but this one was so conveniently located at the mall. Lisa and I would go shopping and then hit the bar for a beer. Or we would go for dinner. We will miss you Kahunaville! And your strange Tiki decor! And 1.95 drafts and free Buffalo Wings on Fridays. Goodbye, forever!
Last night, as I languished in bed, I watched Mahogany! What a fabulous movie. I first saw it years ago when I was a teenager and the parts I loved then are the parts I still love today. For instance, when Diana drips hot wax all over her frighteningly skinny body as weird music plays and people cheer. I also loved the scene where Billy D Williams (Lando) and Tony Perkins wrestle with the gun. They slide all over the floor together and try to shove the gun into the other’s mouth. Even as a kid I knew there was more going on than met the eye. A neighbor of mine once told me that on a plane he was seated next to Tony Perkins and the entire trip, Tony talked to himself!?!?
