Vonetta McGee...

I didn't know this, but Vonetta McGee passed away last week...I mainly remember her from Blacula, but she was in Shaft in Africa and a bunch of other films as well. I was trying to find some images of her from the movie I could upload, but I can't seem to access any right now. I have some old lobby cards from Blacula, but sadly, she's not featured on any of the ones I have. I was thinking maybe I could scan some of those, but no such luck. :(

Breaking Dawn 3D

I have friends that like these movies, so I'll be gentle...5,4,3,2,1....What are these people thinking?!!!??? Breaking Dawn in 3D? At first I thought it was a bad joke. I don't want to spoil my friends that haven't read the books. I've read the books, the idea of Breaking Dawn in 3D, just makes me go...ick. :( Maybe it's because I don't have a maternal bone in my body...I have no clue...Maybe it's because I see 3D as being an asset to a more "traditional" horror or sci-fi film...Not sure about action...I guess it would depend on the storyline, director, quality of cinematography, etc. I really, really, hope they don't do this, but to each his own.

Playmates Michael Jackson dolls to be shown @ 2010 ComicCon in San Diego

I've put the kibosh on spending on frivolous things for months, but I'll tell you. I really want these. Particularly the Billie Jean one. I have a little Billie Jean cosbaby, but nothing close to this size. I love the expression on the face of the Billie Jean one too. Again I say, Awesome!

Hope they're not too pricey.

Last one for a while....

This will be the last new headshot of me for a while...I'm trying to get another photoshoot set up for sometime in the fall.

Again, Thank you, Renny! You're the best!

True Blood, Being Human, New Hulk cast in Avengers...

Found out I'm allergic to nickel today. Bizarre (The clasp to the chain on my work badge if that's not positively Freudian, I don't know what is. ).



Being Human - New episodes start on July 24th. WooHoo!



True Blood - Bill's starting to scare me and not in a good way...Eric's sneaky, but I don't recall him being so quick to hit a chick and he was a Viking for pity's sake.



Also Arlene...How long does she think she's going to be able to conceal the fact that she's pregnant from Sam?



Tara-Poor baby...She needs to take back control...I'm not sure how, but I miss the way she was in Season 1.



Promo spot for Damon from The Vampire Diaries - Damon-O, Damn--Didn't know whether to laugh or moan or both.



The Passage -- I'm about a third of the way through this. One thing I can say for sure about it...It is very hard to put down.



I finished Etta James's autobiography...I decided to read it after seeing Cadillac Records. Fascinating, inspiring, and harrowing...Jimi Hendrix's nickname gave me a tickle.

As far as The Beatles fans getting ticked off about Lady Gaga at John's piano...Everyone has a right to their opinion, don't get me wrong, but no one down here walks on water. You dig? And before you ask I enjoy Beatles, John Lennon's solo stuff and some of Gaga's stuff.



My insomnia is back...I'm pretty sure the causes are stress on the job [again!] and some other things that I'm trying to work my way through. I'm pretty hopeful I can resolve just about everything though...

New Hulk casting...Umm I like the idea of Mark Ruffalo a lot better than I like the idea of Joaquin Phoenix...Again, excellent actor, just not for this.

I feel like I'm forgetting to blog about something (I know I've been all over the place...I'm sorry. Focusing is hard for me. Oddly enough I was never diagnosed with ADD as a kid.).

My doctor's office ticked me off so badly this morning! Since when is it ok for a doctor's office to cut the answering service off with no warning. (They said the faxed a referral and didn't. I didn't have the time to waste, so I'm cutting them loose.)

If I can just get through tomorrow evening in one piece I will be a happy camper indeed.

@Lost365

Don't beat yourself up. We love what you do. You have to pace yourself, plus RL always intrudes. I draw and set project goals for myself that I disappoint myself by not meeting too, so I'm right there with you. Awesome pic of Mr. Eko. I'll have to backtrack to look at some of your others.

July 6 post on Nikki's Say in this World...

I still can't get the Blogger posting comments field to work right on this computer I'm on, but I just wanted to tell Nikki I totally agree with her and I share her anger and frustration...Maybe if enough of us make a noise?...But then, not that it makes it right, look how long it took for the rumor of Cass Elliot and the choking on a ham sandwich falsehood to go away. Some people are just malicious, some think lies are more interesting, some just don't think before they speak...I don't know what it'd take to correct lies about Michael and with the scale of some of them, I'm almost not even sure it's possible...He's also not physically here, and that also makes people feel like they can do/say what they want regarding him [libel/slander or no]. I think the more stuff out there like your blog, MJ 777's blog, and the things Aprodite Jones has recently done...maybe there's hope and maybe more people will start to question what the media puts out there.
