Honda FIT for Roomie

Posted by MikeyMike at 05:23 PM on June 5, 2007 in Congrats!, Photography.

My roommate John got a new 2007 Honda FIT in very RED. It's supposed to get 38mpg on the freeway and is a very low emmisions vehicle... Plenty of room.. even for Big John! ^^

So, what does this mean, exactly?? I Love Primate I think... But in what sense?!?

btw, that's a California "Environmental" license plate, which I believe costs about $80 a year(!)
The Monkeys should thank them, I suppose...

Mike, at Denny's after printing the 10,000 checks for Scripps Health once again... You'd be tired-out looking too.

Most dollies don't do a lot for me, (sorry girls!) but Yoko from Bluefairy International is just too darn cute! I first saw her on my friend Lindas site (actually on her Flickr). I think she got hers via the lovely Gema.

She was nice enough to give me the url HERE - actually, it's the gallery search for "yoko"... It was very hard to limit myself to just a few pictures from their proud owners! Yoko is about $330 (with clothes, etc.) a rather shocking price. But I am still emamored of this one. You can't put a price on love, can you? <3 They have quite a big collection, so check it out...

Can't wait for Emma and Liz to be be old enough for this one (and not just rip the head off fighting over it!) lol

One photo tip... don't light dolls with artificial "hair" with an electronic flash! The hair looks so plastic that way. Natural light, with a tripod if needed is the way to go...

Paris, je t'Aime (Paris, I Love You)

Since Peggy is in her Paris mode, when I saw an ad in our local paper that Paris, je t'Aime would be playing soon, I just had to check it out. Seems like a great movie if you love Paris and all the romantic possibilities it holds. It's done in scenes by different directors for roughly each of Paris' 20 districts, so there are bound to see some parts you really like!

I chose the Spanish trailer, 'cause the film in is in English, about French Paris, so why not help out our Spanish friends too?

I'll let the Wikipedia summarize the rest - at least till I can get down to see it for myself...

Paris, je t'aime (Paris, I love you) is a 2006 film starring several American, British and French movie actors, including Nick Nolte, Elijah Wood, Bob Hoskins, Natalie Portman, Gérard Depardieu, Juliette Binoche, Willem Dafoe, Steve Buscemi, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Gena Rowlands. The two-hour film consists of eighteen five-minute arrondissements (all twenty were planned, but two fell through). Each arrondissement is written and directed by a different person. This list of directors also consists of many famous and less famous names including Walter Salles, Alfonso Cuarón, Tom Tykwer, Gus Van Sant, Wes Craven, Alexander Payne, Gurinder Chadha and Joel and Ethan Coen.

The film had its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on 18 May opening the Un Certain Regard selection. It had its Canadian premiere at the Toronto Film Festival on 10 September and United States premiere in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on 9 April 2007.[1] First Look Pictures has acquired the North American rights, and the film opened in the United States on 4 May 2007

Paris, je t'Aime: Quais de Seine. - This scene is directed by Gurinder Chadha and stars Cyril Descours & Leïla Bekhti. Doesn't really need subtitles, does it?
