Random Cellies

Today I figured out how to get the photos off my cell phone memory card.  So to celebrate I am sharing more  random pictures that have been stored up over the year.

Here is one of the girly with her puppy.  You can tell by the look on his face that he's loving it.

Where's Alex?

Alex got a treat at Sports Clips. He was in heaven here. When the guy pulled out the hot towel I was a bit worried but it ended up being his favorite part.

Sunflower at the farm.

A nice view in traffic.

Mt. Hood in the distance.

A crappy view in traffic.

The girly had to try on my new shades. I had to get a pic.

Morning Sky

This morning the sky was on fire.  I got a couple shots of it with my cell phone to share.

To the east was the sunrise which looked like clouds of fire surrounding the backlit Mt. Hood.  If you click on the photo you'll get the full size image and you can see Mt. Hood right above the car in front of me.

To the west was a beautiful double rainbow. This makes the longer commute totally worth it on mornings like this.

Movie Top Ten - Actress in a Leading Role

A short time ago I posted my top ten favorite male actors.  I had fun choosing the photos for that list.  This list is of my top ten favorite leading ladies.  The photos were harder to choose.  I did all black and white for the men and was going to do all color photos for the ladies but failed.  There were a couple black and whites of the ladies I could not resist.

Here's the ladies.

Amy Adams - I first remember seeing her in Enchanted and thought she was perfect in that role. Recently we saw her in Julie & Julia and she was perfect. She gets bonus points for being a redhead.

Angelina Jolie - Okay maybe she's not on the list for her acting abilities although I did love her in Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Ellen Page - Two movies; Juno and Hard Candy. I look forward to seeing this young lady more.

Emma Thompson - Can this lady do wrong? I don't think so. There is too much good to list so I'll mention a couple I just loved. In Stranger Than Fiction you could feel her neuroticism oozing off the screen. She brought Prof. Trelawney to life. In Nanny McPhee it was visually amazing to watch her transformation.

Jamie Lee Curtis - There is just something about this lady I just like but can't put my finger on it. A Fish Called Wanda = Brilliant!

Joan Cusack - Although she's rarely the leading lady, I just love it when she's in a movie. Grosse Pointe Blank is a favorite.

Madeline Kahn - Two movies put her on the list; Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles.

Maryl Streep - What's to say about the queen of the screen? She's amazing. She pulls of leading lady, bitch, tough chick, lover, tender-heart, monster, and comedienne like no other.

Queen Latifa - Despite Taxi I put her on the list. I loved her in Chicago and I think she is just beautiful.

Sigourney Weaver - Put a gun in this ladies hands and there is no stopping her. What guy didn't love her in Aliens?

Da Punkins

We carved pumpkins last night 'cause it's fun.  Here's what we came up with.

Alex's is a vampire and Brianna's is French.  I'm not sure what she meant by that but that's what she said she was making - a French pumpkin.

Here they are all a glow.

Mine is the cyclops that looks like Mike from Monsters Inc.  Kathi's is the happy one.

I don't take Halloween very serious.  Actually if it wasn't for the kids I wouldn't do anything for it.  The pumpkins are the only part I like and I think it's because it involves knives and fire - two very manly things.  The candy was the draw as a kid but as an adult I can have candy anytime I want, which is most all the time.  I love me the candy.

Be safe out there tonight everyone.

Teshy Dreams

Last night I dreamt that I was travelling with John Tesh.  You know, former host of ET, piano playing, John Tesh.  Yep, the one and only.  I don't know where we were going or why I was with him, I just was. 

Besides the oddity of him being in my dream, nobody knew who he was in my dream.  He would get stopped by people because they knew he was famous but he would have to explain who he was to them.

After navigating through the airport we arrived at our gate and boarded the plane.  After getting in the air the pilot announced that celebrity Sean Astin was going to come up to the cockpit and fly the plane for a bit.  So I'm sitting next to John Tesh and Sean "Rudy" Astin was flying the plane.  What can I say?  When I dream, I dream big.

The hobbit turned out to be a terrible pilot and repeatedly flew threw powerlines and skimmed buildings.  At one point I was concerned for my life. Not John's.  Just mine.

Many dreams I have I'd love to know the meaning behind, this one I'd rather not.

HaHaHaHAHAHAha

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Really.  For your debut this is what you came up with?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!

I can hardly stand it.

Toupee or Not Toupee

Last night before turning in for the night I caught a bit of The Jay Leno Show. Michelle Obama had a charming little question session via satellite before Jay brought out his main guest, Colin Firth. I don't really know much about Mr. Firth nor have I seen many of the movies he's been in, but once he appeared from backstage my toupeedar was screaming.

Check it for yourself. Is it or isn't it? Let me know what you think.

Tree Time

I love watching the changing trees during the Fall.

There is one particular tree that I just love. It is next door to our office and I watch it change every year. It changes very fast so I only get to enjoy it for about three weeks.

This is what it looked like last week

This is what it looked like this afternoon

This is one of the many many reasons I love living in Portland and why I love the rain.  This is what beauty the rain brings to this area.
