Top Hits

First let me send greetings to a man who is handsome and smart; a man of muscles, the largest of which is his heart! Best of all, he's my friend! Happy Birthday to the youngin', dr_scott! May you celebrate your day in style, surrounded by friends and loved ones!

A #1 hit with me! My nephew Brennan called me up last evening and asked if he could treat his uncle to a movie. I've been taking he and his brothers to the movies for nigh on 20 years, so I was touched that he wanted to take me. The two of us and his twin Ryan saw "Ratatouille". What a wonderful flick!! I was simply amazed at the computer animation, the expression they could bring to characters, the backgrounds. The voice talent was first-rate. When's the last time you saw an animated picture and was actually moved by the story? Yeah, I can't remember either ...(Its quality certainly points out the flaws in the last two animated features I saw, the very tired "Shrek 3" and and the truly awful "Flushed Away".) "Ratatouille" is highly recommended for those four or five people who haven't seen it already:) Next up - "The Simpsons Movie" and "Hairspray".

I saw in eggwards journal this morning that there is a meme going around which asks the question, "What was the #1 song on the day you were born?" I checked it out. There were two for me, depending on the chart you consult. Both are sort of evocative of my life in general:) The songs? "Secret Love" by Doris Day and "Make Love to Me" by Jo Stafford. Oh, yeah!

"Secret Love" by Doris Day ...from the movie "Calamity Jane"...hope that is NOT evocative

[mrdreamjeans.livejournal.com]

SO true! I meant the "secret love" part:)

Course ... It could have been worse, or better, depending on your point of view. It could have been "Whip, Crack Away"!

HUGS!

Absodamnlutely, my friend! Let's make it happen! HUGS!

Doris Day was very close to Rock Hudson, she's ok in my book :) My song on my birth day, was Gogi Grant-The Wayward Wind.. YIKES. I'm not sure I ever heard that one. Why couldn't it have been an Elvis Presley song!

[mrdreamjeans.livejournal.com]

The Wayward Wind is a nice song ... kind of folk country in feel ... You can't hear me, but I'm singin' the tune right now:) If you want Elvis, you could always have a pretend birthday centered around your favorite Elvis song .. and then celebrate the real one too:)

Howdy, by the way!

Did you mean dr_scott or drscott cuz, um... they're different people. :P

And I'm sadly one of the four or five who've not seen the movie yet. Damnit. (lol)

[mrdreamjeans.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm ... .I mean Curtis. Guess I better check that out! Thanks for pointing out the mistake:)

[mt-yvr.livejournal.com]

(lol) I really wasn't sure. I thought it would've been a really wild coincidence if it was the other one too. :P

I'm back home. I wonder if I should post the somewhat long account of our trip. You and I seem to have had some recent good encounters with our respective nephews. It'd be fun to find out about my number one song. I wonder if I'd even know the title.

[mrdreamjeans.livejournal.com]

I bet you'll know the song. We come from the days of The Hit Parade, where the songs of Broadway and big band were regularly on the radio.

Please tell the story of your trip! I'm awaiting details!

HUGS!

I know who you mean! [still blushing]

I am a very lucky guy, finally. To have such good friends is the only present I need.

[mrdreamjeans.livejournal.com]

Hon, you deserve every accolade I can come up with! Have a great time celebrating!

Remember, I'm always in your corner!

HUGS!
