Memory Lane - Happy Birthday Merrill Osmond

Yes, I'm taking another trip down memory lane back to my teenage girlhood and the guy whose pictures shared my bedroom walls with those of Chuck Norris and Paul Michael Glaser.

Today is Merrill Osmond's birthday.

Happy Birthday 'Teddy Bear' from this 'teenager' who is still proud to be listening to your music at the top of her car stereo:)

Shallow Blog Post: My 'Most Wanted'

There you have it, my 'Most Wanted' List, what a line up huh LOL

Ok so it does need the addition of a character played by Chuck Norris to make it complete but I just had to post these pictures as my latest 'shallow blog' contribution.

I guess I just found it so funny that over the last 2 months 3 of my favorite actors would play characters that get mug shots taken of them. First to come was the dazzling and talented Michael Shanks as Jack Sullivan in the Lifetime Movie Judicial Indescretion. Jack Sullivan is a very nasty piece of work and Michael Shanks played the role to perfection once again proving what an amazingly talented actor he is.

The other two are Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, stars of my current favorite TV series Supernatural. There is Dean 'I call this one Blue Steel' Winchester and Sam 'because I have an idiot for a brother, that's why' Winchester in the episode Folsom Prison Blues..the one were the boys con their way into prison to fight a supernatural threat.

Needless to say I think they all three look adorable in their mug shots and are definitely on my wanted list LOL!

Memory Lane - War of The Worlds Revisited

I was in the Circuit City store the other day to buy an new cordless phone and decided to ramble through their selection of TV shows on DVD that were for sale. So what did I discover but the whole first season of the late 80's TV show War of the Worlds.

Wow, but I loved that show and the whole 'buddy' thing between the sweet Harrison Blackwood (played by Jared Martin)and the sexy Lt. Col. Paul Ironhorse (played by Richard Chaves). I wrote a ton of fanfic back in the early 90's about this show and especially about these two characters. Harrison and Paul were fascinating to me in their dynamic and interaction. Of the two of them, Paul Ironhorse with his military background and his strong sense of loyalty to his Native American heritage was the most intriguing to me of all.

In sitting down and watching this show on DVD at first I was wincing over the cheesy special effects and the shallowness of the plotting, but then I began remembering what it was that drew me in..it was Harrison and Paul. Don't get me wrong, I liked Suzanne and Norton too. It's just that there was this strong 'buddy' element of two opposites coming together to form friendship between Paul and Harrison. A working chemistry between Jared Martin and Richard Chaves that really stood out and captured my attention.

Ok and to be perfectly shallow they were two good looking men, especially Chaves. And Richard Chaves has a voice that can make a girls knees go weak, ok well he makes mine go weak (OMG if he and Timothy Dalton and Jensen Ackles ever did a project together I would be in heaven cause I could listen to those three read the phone book I tell ya). I loved the contrast between the lightness of Harrison Blackwood with blue eyes and the dark smoldering look of Ironhorse with deep brown eyes.

So here I am going down memory lane with two of my favorite characters and of course now they are urging me to write fan fic about them again LOL. Of course they are going to have to talk a little louder to be heard over Dean and Sam Winchester right now LOL.

It's been really nice to see these two 'old friends' again.

Update on the Bear

In the end, I could not part with Harry. He's been in my life as long as I can remember and he'd held my secrets, shared my dreams, my sorrows and happiness far too long to just put him on the curb for the trash man to take.

So what if he's just made of stuffing, fake fur and numerous additions of this and that to keep him held together. He's still a part of my heart and I'm just gonna keep him there for good.
