How TCM changed my life
in Chicago, so I should really get a job as Turner Classic Movies' Cheerleader Extraordinaire. It is such a phenomenal idea, to have classic movies broadcasting all day and night without a single interruption. We don't have any revival theaters here in Champaign, and there are only a handful in Chicago. TCM is really my best opportunity to see films that I haven't heard of or will never see otherwise. I've spent the better part of today watching films that I recorded on my DVR (can I cheer for this invention too??!!) and cleaning. I could really do this all day, every day. Last night it was Mad Max and Lord of the Flies, this morning it was Cover Girl with Rita Hayworth, followed by The Petrified Forest and coffee with Bette Davis and Humphrey Bogart, in the role that got him recognized. I think I'll follow it with The Lady from Shanghai and pan-fried chicken for dinner, once Dave gets back from studying for his Math final. People are mowing outside so every once in a while I get pleasant drifts of fresh grass smell through the open door. All in all, a truly delightful day.
