    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    A movie which must be seen more than once, to truly appreciate the detail that went in to everything. I'm probably due for a re-watch myself, soon.

    And what a fantastic looking Morris it is! I'm always impressed with how roomy they are inside, despite being such teeny little things.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    In theatres, The Avengers. It got re-released for the last holiday weekend. Here at home, I fished out my Ghost VHS and gave it a runthrough.

    Correspondence - Find a Pen Pal

    I'll toss my hat (and pen!) into the ring, as well. I'm a recent Cal Poly graduate and a part-time illustrator. I like comics, machinery of all types, and history (naturally). I could-- and have --spend all day at the Natural History Museum or the Autry, and can be long-winded on topics that...

    It's popcorn-level entertainment. :D

    Pocket Knife

    I've got two of the same make -- ad knives by Colonial. One, the lower knife, belonged to my great grandfather, and noted his membership in the Crosby Farmer's Association. The other I bought from a local antique store to use in place of the first, as I didn't want it to get damaged during...

    Made in the USA

    I will admit to refusing to buy certain products that weren't made in the US. This has nothing to do with xenophobic, isolationist tendencies, but that the majority of products I've made this decision about had been made in China, where a fair wage is not guaranteed and sweatshop labor is still...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The Rockford Files. I'm not sure of the episode title (I missed the first ten minutes or so), but there was a fairly hilarious chase scene involving Jim's Firebird, two tailing goons, and a very confused police car. So, basically, every Rockford episode, ever.

    Your favorite movie quotes

    My friends and I love to (mis-)quote The Rocketeer whenever a particularly noisy car goes by: "Mighty big gopher!" Though, my favorite is still: Ciff: (in his flight helmet) How do I look? Peevy: Like a hood ornament!

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hello, all! I'm owlbeen, or kiff, and I'm from California's Central Coast. I'm a semi-newb, in that I've had an account here for years and have lurked, but haven't actively posted until now. Whoops! Time to remedy that! I've got an interest in all old things, especially machines and...

    What Are You Reading

    I've got two going, currently. Truman, by David McCullough, and Meadowsweet, by Baroness Orczy. You can probably guess which one is currently full of sand from being carted to and from the beach, like any proper dimestore novel.

    Guess I'll join the party. This is my 1968 Karmann Ghia. She's old, cantankerous, and has been hit so many times that she leans permanently to one side. I love her, anyway. 12 years and far too many miles to count, and she still runs like new.
