The 20 Something Society

Is it odd to say that watching Rosemarys Baby is like a breath of fresh air to me. 

This is my favorite version of the book cover….maybe because its the one I had?  An old Copy I found at a used book store, The Book Nook, in my home town.  I miss that place.

We color coded our bookshelf.  I am so over the shelves themselves I want some new ones.  White or silver metal.  Any suggestions?

I took a picture of my favorite book in each little shelf.  Here is the first one.

Second one tomorrow.

I’m reading that HBO is planning on doing a pilot for a series based on the Pamela Des Barres book I’m With the Band: Confessions of a Groupie and that my girl Zooey is going to star.  I don’t know if its true or not, but it sounds like a match made in heaven.  

I have been running on the elliptical and watching Little Women.  The 1994 version with Wynona.

I was nine when it came out.  I bought it on VHS and watched it over and over.  I loved Jo.  (strong female lead! Ha!) “Well, of course Aunt March prefers Amy over me. Why shouldn’t she? I’m ugly and awkward and I always say the wrong things. I fly around throwing away perfectly good marriage proposals. I love our home, but I’m just so fitful and I can’t stand being here! I’m sorry, I’m sorry Marmee. There’s just something really wrong with me. I want to change, but I – I can’t. And I just know I’ll never fit in anywhere.”  

Can you believe that I have never read the book?  I know I can’t.  After I am finished reading Stephen Kings Skeleton Crew and Patricia Cornwells Portrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper I should go snag a copy.  

Vintage Christian Bale from this movie.  Even at nine I loved Christian Bale.

I always despised Laurie for macking on Amy.  How despicable.

My friend  and artist made these posters.  They are fantabulous.  ~art by J.Sizemore~

The movie looks good, but even just from the beginning of the book and the preview the book is better.  But that is ninety nine percent of the time I guess.

My mother- in -law and sister- in- law are here for the weekend to stay with us!  They brought with them a housewarming present from my Granny and Grandaddy.  It was a Keurig One Cup Coffee Maker!  The husband loves these things because he can make cups of hot tea, and I will use it mainly for hot cocoa.  

We love it!  Thanks Granny and Grandaddy!

I’ve started reading The Lovely Bones and it is really really good so far.  I recommend.

I was just admiring my favorite mugshot this evening….

…Awesome….when I decided to look up some more vintage mugshots.
I stumbled upon many pictures from a book called City Of Shadows: Sydney Police Photographs 1912-1948.  There were some beautiful photographs, I think these vintage mugshots have inspired me to do some like them for some of my portrait sessions.

This one was in my saved materials, I dont remember where it came from but I also find this one beautiful.

P.S.  I once wrote a paper in college on photography in the criminal justice system, much of which was on the beginnings of mug shots, the rogue galleries!
