1925-2008

Haven't updated this in awhile, but had to mention the passing of one of my favorite movie stars! Paul Newman passed away, and not only was he an amazing actor - he made banging salad dressing and popcorn (among other products). He was also kinda a badass because he raced cars too! Such the renaissance man.

He was married to Joann Woodward for over 50 years, thats like being married for 5 lifetimes in Hollywood years.

Its so upsetting when an actor from the "golden era" dies, and the more that pass, the more upsetting it gets. He was literally a living legend, which doesn't come around to often. I can't think of anyone other than Elizabeth Taylor that this term can apply to (I would love to say Madonnna, but its not really fair to be called a living legend until you reach your 70s I think).

Safe to say that Cat on a Hot Tin Roof will be in the DVD player some point this weekend.

Great Wall of Siobhan

Back from Vacay in VA. Also back in Mount Laurel. I had decided that if I was going to move back to home not-always-so-sweet home, my room needed a major overhaul. With the exception of The Wall. Never coming down as long as I'm living in there, bottom line. I know parts of it are 10 years old, but that makes me love it even more. And since I haven't been living at home for awhile, its funny to look at those old pictures from 8th grade. Its like a pop culture time capsule on my wall. Remember how those Germans refused to take down that wall for the longest time much to the chagrin to everyone else? A similar situation is going on right now in my house. My mom mentioned taking it down in a "few months" and I just laughed at her. Oh Lesley, so young sometimes.

Maybe if she could get David Hasselhoff to sing to me while I take down the wall I'll do it. But even then I probably wouldn't.
