I stand by the fact that I was just born in the wrong era.
It makes me think about things like reincarnation and stuff sometimes, when I think about how drawn I am to the music and the lifestyle of the 40s, 50s, and 60s… I know, it’s weird, but it really makes me wonder.
Here’s the “drunken dreamboat”… Dino:

My friends Chris and Nicole are getting married this afternoon.
One of the things I love about weddings is finding out what the bride and groom have chosen for their “first dance” wedding song. I know, most people like the romance of it all, the flowers, the dresses, the food even… I just can’t wait to hear what that song is.

I am SO IN LOVE with this Orbit retro wall clock!!
I want one so bad… and if I didn’t already know that it would be tacky as all get out to put more than one of these in the house, I’d put one in every room. Isn’t it beautiful?

Anyone got a movie room in their home? You know what I’m talking about, with the huge screen, the big comfy chairs with the coolers in the armrests, surround sound?
I’ve only been in a couple of these, and no, they haven’t all been that extravagant, but people do love movies and they do love to “do up” their movie rooms. Even if you’re just a fan of classic movies, you might have a “man cave” or some such where you tend to decorate with classic movie posters. Here’s one featuring the all-time sex goddess, Marilyn Monroe:
