Showered and slept!

Yesterday moved to apartment -250 sq ft for HK$11,000 a month (800 GBP), and went shopping for a net book - hence return here!

Today went to Mong Kok Ladies Market where all the fakes are made - very different feel to this area than the places I've been so far.

Start work in Admiralty on Monday - still buzzing with excitement but missing friends and family of course.

oh wow! are you British Navy then?

Thanks! I've actually gone back to the first avatar Shannon rendered for me. I hope all is well with you and Shel. You all are in my thoughts.

By the way, I thought you lived in my native state! I thought that was the MOST corrupt state in the union. I'm kind of tired of us always coming in second. . .second state. . .second city. . .

I'm watching "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?"

Welcome Back, KAZ!! Missed you *mwah*

Doing well and staying busy, often without much effort.

At the time I'd found a list someplace (I want to say Washington Times or the Post or something) that placed Louisiana 1st in overall corruption; Illinois came in second on that list. Since then, the list has been rewritten (by several media outlets) and the Land of Lincoln now ranges anywhere from 5th to 47th depending on whom you ask; if you ask one of the FBI agents in charge of our most-recently-indicted governor's investigation (Robert Grant, special agent in charge of the bureau's Chicago office): "...If it isn't the most corrupt state in the United States, it's one hell of a competitor" (2008).

had you never seen that one before? I think I was 11 or 12 when I first saw it. totally terrified me!

recluse · 10-31-2010, 02:14 AM

My first time seeing it.

The only other Bette Davis movie I ever saw was "Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte".

That is one scary old lady!

kindlekitten · 10-31-2010, 02:23 AM

yep! saw that one at about the same time as well!

recluse · 10-31-2010, 02:35 AM

They don't make movies like that anymore!
All of my favorite scary movies are in black and white.
"Night of the Hunter" and "Cape Fear"
"The Haunting"
