Total eclipse of the ....


My favorite eclipse movie? Ladyhawke.(1985) "Captain Etienne Navarre is a man on whose shoulders lie a cruel curse. Punished for loving each other, Navarre must become a wolf by night whilst his lover, Lady Isabeau, takes the form of a hawk by day. Together, with the thief Philippe Gaston, they must try to overthrow the corrupt Bishop and in doing so break the spell." To break the spell, they have to confront the evil Bishop together ... how is it done? A total eclipse. 




Now, a funny eclipse in a move is Little Shop of Horrors (1986). "Seymour Krelborn is a nerdy orphan working at Mushnik's, a flower shop in urban Skid Row. He harbors a crush on fellow co-worker Audrey Fulquard, and is berated by Mr. Mushnik daily. One day as Seymour is seeking a new mysterious plant, he finds a very mysterious unidentified plant which he calls Audrey II. The plant seems to have a craving for blood."




So the eclipse has come and gone. It was cool, yes. Here in Billings, MT, we were not in the "path of totality." We were in the 90 percent range. I was feeling monstrous pressure in my head while it happened. Better now.


I don't think I have anything on TV tonight. I finished the Connelly book. It was good. I'm about 2/3s through the Andy Weir book. Not as good as THE MARTIAN but that's expected.  THE MARTIAN was exceptional. 

Have a great day



Much love,
