I handed in my essay on The Third Man which I totally recommend. The film, not my essay (thought I am pretty proud of it). Mr Bear proof read it for me, which rocked. It's fun to watch these great old films together. I had never seen the fi;m before.

Next, we're watching North by Northwest for class. Another classic, but one I know and love. Again - Netflix it!

Anyone have any films I should Netflix?

I am all about my new word - picaresque. As the drags say "get into it honey."


pic*a*resque  [pik-uh-resk]
–adjective

1. pertaining to, characteristic of, or characterized by a form of prose fiction, originally developed in Spain, in which the adventures of an engagingly roguish hero are described in a series of usually humorous or satiric episodes that often depict, in realistic detail, the everyday life of the common people: picaresque novel; picaresque hero.
   
2. of, pertaining to, or resembling rogues.

Not much else to report here. Darla took a wander again (she only does it when Mr Bear is home alone) and I cut the left over piece of fencing to fill the gap. I'm going to attach it when I get home. Right now it's just wedged in place.

I got the studio mostly cleaned up from Halloween. Which s good because I want to start wrapping for Christmas. Yeah Baby! I'm half done with the kids after one unplanned trip to the mall. I love when you wander into a sale on things you actually need/can use.

OK, time to get a move on. I'm going to the Student Council meeting which really is a training ground for managers. It's just like all those long pointless conference calls with self important or climbing people weighing in. Only the college version has free cookies. :-)

Have you seen the Hitchcock films: Shadow of A Doubt or Spellbound? How about the old films : Suddenly Last Summer or Separate Tables to name a few of my favorites that I highly recommend.
