ConMan

Conner grabs a CodeRed Mountain Dew!~Pops it open, takes a sip. I come around the corner, see him and give him a dissaproving look. He says...

"Don't blame me, blame my brain!"
I say...
"You control your brain don't you?"
and he says..
"Yeah, I do, I've got my Mt. Dew and I'm happy!"

THE END

On the lack of beautiful actresses nowadays:  ”When I was young, everybody on screen was gorgeous. I have to say, there aren’t that many good looking actresses around today. I mean, there’s Angelina Jolie and there’s… Angelina Jolie. Jennifer Aniston is cute, but I wouldn’t call her beautiful. She’s no Ava [Gardner] or Lana [Turner].”

The House of 1000 Mirrors

Long ago in a small, far away village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the house, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."

In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."

All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?

Today is 10-10-10!!

Jon

Happy belated birthday to my dad! We had a fabulous rooftop dinner at Dunaway's last night overlooking Lucas Oil Stadium and the rest of downtown. We all had some very delicious food and even shared some yummy bottles of wine. It was the perfect night and all in the celebration of 52 years of Hirschfeld awesomeness. Just wanted to say happy birthday to the world's greatest dad!

Any good Jon stories to share?? I bet there are...

Texas Rodeo Tykes

Material possessions, winning scores, and great reputations are meaningless in the eyes of the Lord, because He knows what we really are and that is all that matters.

Native American Prayer

Oh, Great Spirit
Whose voice I hear in the winds,
And whose breath gives life to all the world,
hear me, I am small and weak,
I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold
the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have
made and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand the things
you have taught my people.
Let me learn the lessons you have
hidden in every leaf and rock.

I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother,
but to fight my greatest enemy - myself.
Make me always ready to come to you
with clean hands and straight eyes.
So when life fades, as the fading sunset,
my Spirit may come to you without shame.


(translated by Lakota Sioux Chief Yellow Lark in 1887)
published in Native American Prayers - by the Episcopal Church.

Gilmore Girls Turns 10

“Please, Luke. Please, please, please.”
And with that very first line of dialogue, the premiere episode of “Gilmore Girls” aired exactly 10 years ago today. Our heroine, Lorelai Gilmore was - as she often did throughout the series’ seven-year run – begging for coffee.
Although “Gilmore Girls” ended in 2007, it still experiences renaissances on a continuous loop due to daily airings of re-runs on ABC Family and SOAPnet. With DVD and iTunes sales going strong, it’s no wonder there’s so much buzz about a possible “Gilmore Girls” movie and demand among fans for an eighth season.

I've waxed poetic about the brilliance of the "Gilmore Girls" before,  so I’ll try to stop gushing so much. But earlier today, I spoke to actress Keiko Agena, who played Rory’s BFF Lane Kim.
On shooting the pilot, Agena recalled “being away from home and so excited and loving the script and just filled with hope that everybody would love it as much as we did. We knew it was good but that doesn’t always mean that everybody’s going to like it and that it will be a successful show."
It turns out they filmed in Toronto, "which was just beautiful and really, actually cold instead of the balmy southern California weather which is how we shot the rest of the episodes," Agena said. "That was the only time we had real cold air, the rest of the time it was just snow machines.”
As for what she’s up to these days, the actress said, “Today I’m actually at NASA. We are filming ‘Transformers 3’ and I get to play Frances McDormand’s assistant so that’s been a lot of fun.” She's also apparently channeling her inner Jim Henson, and is taking puppetry classes at Puppet School and gearing up for a December show. Calling it her “new obsession,” Agena said she’s “crazy in love” with puppetry.
I also had a chance to speak to Aaron Berman, author of the upcoming book “The Gilmore Girls Companion,” which is an unauthorized behind-the-scenes look at the making of the show and features 40 interviews with cast and crew members.
“Lauren Graham was the last one to be cast,” said Berman. (At the time, she was contractually obligated to a series called “MYOB” which wound up not getting picked up.)
According to Berman, a “light day” for the main actors was 14 hours. “Sometimes cast members were on-set for as long as 21 hours, and the crew even longer.” Sleep was so scarce that when crew members had an hour to themselves, they ran to the sets that had beds (Lorelai’s room was a favorite).
Berman also provided some other fantastic details:
● The character of Kirk was inspired by Amy's father, Don Sherman, who used to turn up on “Gimme a Break” (and occasionally “Barney Miller”) because he was friends with the producers. He would play a different character each time.
● Most of the jewelry you see Emily Gilmore wearing is Kelly Bishop's own, in particular the gold necklace she often wears. The actress is allergic to costume jewelry and bought the necklace herself for the role. She's only worn it twice since “Gilmore,” both times in stage plays.
● Though "Gilmore Girls" is known for its fast delivery of dialogue ("Life's Short. Talk Fast" being the strapline for the show), a lot of that speed is a result of the editing. As one of the editors said, "if there was a breath of air between Luke saying 'Tomorrow' and Lauren saying 'I’ll be here,' I would take it out."
● Warner Brothers studios' proximity to Burbank Airport resulted in having to halt the taping of scenes so as not to record the sound of passing planes.
● The motor oil that Gypsy deals with on set (and occasionally gets on her) is steak sauce.
“In the end,” said Berman, "‘Gilmore Girls’ remains beloved the world over today because it addresses the absurdities of life, and the imperfections in our relationships with one another, with humor and an understanding of what it is to be human.
There are stereotypes, certainly - Kirk's cluelessness, Taylor's scheming, Emily's disapproving - but every character is also presented as decidedly human. As Lorelai observes of Kirk, ‘it's all any of us wants - to find a nice person to hang out with 'til we drop dead. Not a lot to ask." Amen.

"Gilmore Girls" (2000-07)


There's something about the believability in Rory and Lorelai Gilmore's mother-daughter relationship that made fans fall in love with the series -- perhaps a little too much.
Even after seven seasons, fans are demanding an encore, and Lauren Graham told Vanity Fair that it's actually a possibility, with powerful people talking about it, not just the fans.
Yet Graham went on to say that she's not sure "Gilmore Girls" could fill a two-hour time slot.
"What might be a hit on television might not be something they want to consider for the big screen," Moore said. "But if fans continue to push these things, you never know."

TORI WINS PHOTO CONTEST

With her Forrest Gump in Savannah photo! Congratulations Tori! You are like waking up to snow! You will recieve your special gift at teh Clark Girls Winter Retreat!

Fuuuun!

Well i've spent the last two weekends at the cabin and they have been glorious. Yesterday we went to Meemaw and Peepaws for October birthdays. It was good to see everyone and get the annual xmas pic out of the way. Peepaw made the boys participate in the great giveaway which you'll just have to hear about in person. I'm working this weekend and then it is off to Orlando florida to go to Universal Studios. Harry Potter here I come!





Mike and I went to Tom and Amy's for dinner Friday Night and it was fantastic.(celebrating Amy 's 40th Birthday) Little Josie is so cute and sweet! Viv was at Tanner's football game. (They WON!) It was Homecoming and they are undefeated, Tanner is quarterback. (AWESOME!) Tom made prime rib and potato onion bread  and twenty other gloriously delicous things including a sugar cream oatmeal pie. Amy is making me a manhattan in the pic above. She even crushes the ice, so good. They have five big turkeys and they are very impressive looking animals I must say. Okay, I can't stand it we had beets, carrits and greenbeans, potatoes and tossed salad. I tried not to write about all of the food but I just couldn't stand not to. Amy's friend Ricky and his wife Cybil were there. Amy's friend Tanya and her husband Brad were there as well. I told you  had a good weekend!

Howdy Ya'll!










These pics are from Christy and John's Thursday night Promising Futures silent auction. There were over 500 people there! The appetizers and the martini's were awesome! The people watching was pretty good too! That basket is the one BeBe won! Isn't it lovely? Their were two young girls who spoke about being teenagers and mothers and how the program had changed their lives. Maybe this Christmas we could do something for Promising Futures? Oh and they had hand held digital bidding devices that were very cool. I thought they were giving me an I-Phone just for showing up. Oh I'm sorry I thought I was at an Oscars after party! Where's RDJ? I'm sitting at his table. Detour!
weeeeellllllllll, I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Sure great to hear from Logann and KiKi! My Monday workday is coming to an end. I am looking forward to going home. We had a fire in the fireplace both Saturday and Sunday night and it was so delightful! We watched two Jackie Chan movies (The Spy next door and Rush Hour 3) and a football game. A good game with a less good ending. We cooked a pot roast and Michaela and her friend Dayton made Grandma Essie's apple pie for dessert. Oh And Hic! You are right those Pillsbury pizza crusts (in the tube)are so good! We made two of those this weekend too! Our weekend was really relaxing and I enjoyed every minute of it! Stephanie has applied to Ball State, IU Hanover and Anderson and IUPUI-Herron. So say a little prayer for her that she lands somewhere that she can find her niche!  I'd love to hear from everyone and if no one else submits a picture for the photo contest Logann wins by default which is still a WIN! I will check in tomorrow Morning. Maybe I will be surprised by a wonderland of pictures! Like when you wake up and there's snow on the ground!

Greetings from Savannah!

Hello Clark Girls, Cathy and Logann here..


We are eating fabulous food, painting, playing with the camera, and enjoying the wonderful october weather! Totally wish you all could be here with us. Right now we are sitting on the couch, eating cold pizza and sipping on some beer. I am trying to teach my mother how to blog but she seems to be a little distracted (weird). We are about to watch the new Glee episode, Britney Spears, so we must run. However, we miss you all dearly. xxxxxxxx

ps Kelly this does not count for the picture contest
