I finally watched 8 1/2 last night. It was nothing like I expected yet what I saw didn’t surprise me. Hey, I’ve sat through Satyricon 3 times! Barbara Steele was in the film. I mainly know of her from her turn as Doctor Julia Hoffman on the remake of Dark Shadows. In fact, seeing her as a young woman, got me searching for a picture of her as Dr. Hoffman. I remember watching Dark Shadows when I was in High School and back then I thought she was rather old. Looking at pictures of her decked out in a white lab coat and oversized glassses, I was struck by how young she looked. It is strange how the passage of times changes one’s outlook.

Next up are Umbrellas of Cherbourg, Water Drops on Burning Rocks and Calendar Girls. Wait, Calendar Girls!?! Yeah, Lisa picked that one.

Gosh, it feels like Friday to me for some reason. Wishful thinking. So much to do and I’m not doing it. The utility closet needs cleaning as does the laundry closet and powder room. DO IT! CLEAN! NOW!
