I'm working on getting into the Historic Preservation masters program at USC (some schools call it Public History) - something like that would be perfect for a history major.... Good luck!

The Black Dahlia, Elizabeth Short, is buried at the Mountain View Cemetery, and also Victor Bergeron, founder of Trader Vic's! I used to live just down the street and loved taking walks though there in the afternoons. Such a gorgeous place. ~Loryn

The Castro, in San Francisco: During the annual Noir City Film Festival (note the organ on the right, which is still raised up and played before certain shows): An old shot from the balcony: http://www.castrotheatre.com/index.html A really gorgeous place, something I really...

Oh how interesting!! Small world.... What was his name? Well, I had never heard of Bob Burns either until recently! The other weekend we watched one of his movies, "Waikiki Wedding," with Bing Crosby. I thought it was great! Of course, any movie with dreamboats like Bing Crosby is okay...

I don't normally watch award shows, but this year's theme was "80 Years of Oscar" or something like that, so my boyfriend and I watched it because his grandfather hosted the Oscars in 1938 - we were hoping they'd have some mention of him somewhere, but in the host montage there was so sight of...

I just saw this over the weekend and LOVED it! I've been meaning to see it since I saw the exhibit at the MOMA sometime last year. This weekend I also watched two pretty sordid documentaries on the lives and deaths of old Hollywood stars - such as Errol Flynn, Fatty Arbuckle, Bing Crosby etc...

Thank you so much!! I love Ponytail things. I'll work on the posts...... :)

Oh I would love the ponytail purse, if it's still available!! If so, how can I get in contact with you?

I crochet and knit too!! I love it, it's so relaxing. I haven't made anything too complex yet though - I taught myself out of books and usually stick to making scarves and afghans. Right now I'm crocheting an afghan for my sister out of multi-colored granny squares and it's turning out pretty...

Oh, thank you!! I don't know anyone else who plays, so I've been considering lessons just to make sure my technique isn't too far off-base and to get some pointers. I'll definitely ask your friend for advice. Thanks again!
