Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds has been on television quite [...]

I’ve got the 1984 song “Big in Japan” by Alphaville stuck in my head.

The Japanese fans were considered a poor consolation prize. Personally, I’d [...]

I was thinking of gorgeous ex-blogger Miss L of London and her sadly defunct Times of Glory blog, so I looked up her post about my visit last year with her and the adorable Sharon Rose. It was a perfect day, as she said, and I love this picture she took of Sharon and me. [...]
