Happy Saint Patricks Day ! Its so wonderful to know that Spring is just around the corner. In honor of the occasion, I spent
some time updating My Holiday Pages. Yes, I added a
St. Patricks Day Page. Well, since I am one-fourth Irish, I just could not resist ! There are so many interesting books out
there - biographies of St. Patrick (he was a real person who became a Catholic Saint), Irish history
and even Irish Cooking ! I hope you
take some time to check it out ! I am planning an Easter page real soon too.

I have also started to add Movie Pages. These were more of a challange than I expected, and are still "in progess" and are taking
me some time. But the Lord of the Rings Page is finished. So, if you loved
LOTR as much as I did, stop on by.
And if you hadn't noticed, I redesigned the front page alittle. Its been nearly four years with the same look, and I really
wanted something alittle different. As well as more columns to make everything easier to find. I hope you like the new design.
But.... I have another favorite movie. And that is "The Guru"
starring
Jimi Mistry
,
Heather Graham
and
Marisa Tomei
. It was
funny, and uplifting - and the music is also great ! The clips of John Travolta
and
Olivia Newton-John
in Grease, sure do bring
back memories. Yes, I got the The Guru Soundtrack as well !
Then, like everyone else, on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, I am glued to the television watching
American Idol
. I don't know
what they were thinking when they let Frenchie go - she is more talented than all of them. I certainly hope she records a CD soon.
I do have my favorites of the 12. I am so glad that Clay came back as a wild card.
I have been keeping busy in
Los Angeles
. Volunteering at the American Cinematheque and seeing lots of great film there. And I have been getting involved with
Group 101 films. This is a cool organization of film makers. And it provides them the opportunity to actually have their film seen
by the public. I just got to film a role as a school teacher in a short film called "Out of Time" for Group 101.
Other things ? I saw Missing Persons
in concert. It was so fun ! Just like being back in the '80s ! Sure brought back those memories. They were so good and energetic.
The crowd loved them.
One of the other Cinematheque volunteers has a website called FilmRadar.com . She has a fantastic mailing list available
that lists all the great classic films playing in the Los Angeles area. If you want to stay up to date on classic movies in
Los Angeles, check it out. I recently attended the one year anniversary party for the website.
