Please forgive me for this letter since it will contain almost no b&s related info. I was never very good at keeping those pesky things called rules. Even at an early age ~ much to the chagrin of my second grade teacher, Ms Haskett, who didn't like my innovative reality based playtime. Why let kids live in a little dream world where their buildings carefully sculpted from blocks would stand? Why not introduce some natural disasters of other randomly flying blocks? Our lives aren't always going to peachy- wake up kids, we have to learn sometime! Who better to introduce them to the real world than I? Mr. Rogers certainly wasn't going to do it. No no. But, Ms Haskett disapproved and I ended up in the early eighties version of time out. There began my first thoughts of rules being the enemy of intelligence. Of course, after a while we all come to realize that rules are actually the enemies of criminals. Details Details. After spending half of the day in the emergency room yesterday, I discovered the answer to the time honored question of "is pneumonia contagious?" Yes, my friends it is. Since, I'm stuck at home I decided to watch 'Pretty In Pink' since it seems to be all the rage these days. Some interesting trivia on the movie that you probably already know or really could do without knowing.. -It was filmed in the same L.A. high school where Grease was made. - The original ending depicted Duckie and Andie hooking up, however the test audiences said they would have preferred to see rich boy Blane win Andie's heart. Plus, Molly Ringwald was sick during the filming of the ending (probably from seeing herself in that hideous pepto explosion of a prom dress), and director John Hughes (also the writer) wasn't satisfied with the editing. He was also concerned that audiences would take the original ending as a message that poor people and rich people don't belong together (if anyone else wants to help prove this stigma wrong then there's a poor single girl who has a nice cd addiction that would love being fed). -The Rave-Ups are the band playing in the club scene. Molly Ringwald wapparently a fan of their music, and her sister had a child with one of the band members. Also, in "Sixteen Candles", 'The Rave-Ups' is scrawled on the notebook Molly's character is carrying while walking down a corridor after study hall. Well, thats all the drivel I'll bore with you now. Better 'Pretty in Pink" than more The Who discussion. Though, I was quite disappointed when no one brought up Dr. Who. Talk about genuis! And to leave you with a quote from that show... There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, where the sea is asleep and the rivers dream; people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, and somewhere else the tea is getting cold. Come on, Ace, we've got work to do..... I'm off like a prom dress~ Lleweth icq# 30616012 ps- would there happen to be any other of you in Utah? If so, please give me hope that there are people around me with some semblance of taste in music. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
