Hey, It's National Towel Day

The things you find out while surfing the WWW whoa! Well as you may have guessed from the byline I found out today, May 25th, is National Towel Day. But it's not what you think. 

I got excited because I thought it meant I could do a post of a hunky male celebrity in a towel, but alas.

Towel Day  commemorates the work of the author Douglas Adams, most known for his series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

It all relates to this passage from the books:

"A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have." 

Amazing! Who knew?! It's better with a towel!

Jaws

With Jaws back in theaters this Summer celebrating it's 50th Anniversary I thought I would be remiss not to post my buddy Jay Jacobson's write up about it straigh outta his Classic Movie Blog.

He delves into everything Jaws from how filming went to bits of trivia you may or may not have known. 

It's all there for you Jaws fanatics? Me? I love the movie, it's a great piece of cinema. This being stated it also literally did to me, what it did to many...it made me fear the ocean, C'est la vie...

Friday Feeling

With the release of Meghan 2.0 on June 27, 2025 drawing near she's popping up all over in ads and on billboards to remind us "I'm Still That B." 

Which is quite reassuring as the commercials lead one to believe that the AI android doll may have gotten soft in her temporary retirement.

I enjoyed the first incarnation of Meghan, looking forward to the second. Hey, if it's like the first it will be a fun time at the movies.

BTW Meghan "I'm Still That B." as well.

It's a Friday Feeling...enjoy your weekend!

Strike A Pose

Beauty's Where You Find It

Yesterday whilst taking a Saat Naam reprieve aka yoga at Hollywood Forever Cemetery I saw these three peacocks ("Yes" they live there, along with ducks, geese, feral cats and others) standing in formation before class began.

I usually get there a half hour early to walk about the grounds and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the surroundings before class actually starts.

Thus I was fascinated that each of these three peacocks were standing and striking a pose on each tier of this wall overlooking the lawn in front of the Douglas Fairbanks Jr Memorial where we meditate.

Honestly my take is they knew I was there and were strutting their stuff for me.

Nature, gotta love it!

Namaste
