Greetings from beautiful Lake Texoma! I celebrated my birthday on Thursday and now, I’m looking forward to a week of rest, relaxation, and contemplation. What can I say? I’m still recovering from October!
(I always find it amusing to compare how many reviews are posted per day in October to how many are posted in November. I think everyone here at TSL needs the 30 days of November to recover from Horrorthon and to get ready for our December spectacular.)
Anyway, truth be told, I am really tired and my attempts to come up with something profound to write are running into the brick wall of my need to rest. So why don’t I just let you see what I watched, read, and listened to this week? In the picture below, from the T and T “movie” Straight Line, Amy Taler (played by Alex Amini) and T.S. Taylor (Mr. T.) shows us how not to dress if you’re an attorney who has just rushed over to Toronto’s dirtiest police station to represent a teenager who has been accused of murder.

First, thanks for sharing the Streisand link…I have started the read and know it will take awhile to get through all of the various aspects of her life! As for your movies, another eclectic list – and one of your reviews reminded me there is nothing worse than making a time commitment to a film to have it disappoint so greatly.
