I would do the same thing; it was just interesting to me that people's favorites (including mine) skew newer than the Universal classics.

I can never get a reflection shot like that. There's always a flash, or the camera obscures things, or all you see is spots on the glass.

It's called Belle Saison.

I grew up with Burt Mustin being 70 for 30 years.

It's both a great mustache and a photo issue. It's symmetric, but a trick of the light makes part of the back wall look like part of it.

It's hard to believe that the same director did "The Witches of Breastwick." [OK, not that hard.]

This bear's repeating.

It has to be harder every year to have one running.

Also describes a date I once had.

"The Most Pedantic Website Thus Far." There might be a more pedantic one in the future.

That thing you've spent a lifetime trying to get right? I invented it.

My friend Chuck can't tell a joke, but his dad was hilarious. I still laugh at dumb jokes he told decades ago.

He does!

Watching a Sam Raimi film and I think he puts the same beat up car in every movie.

There should be a word for clothes you put on just because you can't be naked.

No. They're always reliable. It was a Whole Foods one; you never know with them.

It's seasonal and I thought "ooh it's early" rather than "it's been on a shelf since last year." There's won't be one to exchange it for until May.

Tomorrow gets us 40% through Lent and we're at the point where I'm doing math like that.

I've seen people put masking tape on the floor in a square and cats will sit there.

Nuts. I even saw that.

Anyway, the Universal monsters are missing except for the Abbott and Costello one.

Going back through the chain through 10 people, there's no James Whale (Frankenstein), Tod Browning (Dracula), Schoedsack (King Kong).

Interesting.

3/3

This schedule probably looks excessive, but it's how I best function and it should work for the range of possible finish times I could manage.

I need to sit with this for a while, then try it and see what changes it needs. Then maybe I'll sign up for a race.

1/3
I've worked out a schedule that incorporates all the corrections from my last marathon failure, including a continuous grind of about an hour per day, instead of a couple long runs and a bunch of very short ones.

The times are guidelines. 55 minutes means 50-60.
