It's A Big Day for Birthdays

For starters, it's Sigmund Freud's birthday (1856). You can find the Little Thinker Freud dall here--they also have a musical version and a Tickle Me version.

It's also the birthday of Orson Welles, Robert Peary, Tony Blair, Willie Mays, Rudolph Valentino, and George Clooney. For all of their accomplishments, these people do not have Little Thinker dolls.

I love George Clooney so much, I think I might buy a doll of him if there was one! ;)

I mean, how could they not make a doll for the acccomplishment of cinema that was Ocean's 12?


Don't hate me, I'm joking.

Freud is a doll? That would have come in handy last term what i was being beseiged by weeks of learning about the sick and twisted soul. Did they bring out a freud's mother as a companion doll or has he finally grown up?

Of my last one hundred blog hits, forty have been direct visits from regular readers, and fifteen have been as a result of people searching for "Cindy Loo Who," the little pixie from Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas . A couple of years ago, I posted an image of the original Seuss illustration as compared to the TV cartoon image, and for some reason, that post is bringing in the crowds, relatively. Maybe it's the weather. It isn't even November yet, and already we've had frost and have had to dust off our winter coats. When it gets cold like this, I start to think about Christmasy things like listening to Nat King Cole and decorating the tree. It's ironic because I am offended when retailers start pushing holiday stuff early, but I don't mind my own private celebrations.

The Ultimate Storyteller—in Life AND in Death

I wrote about The Autobiography of Mark Twain in yesterday's edition of Small Town Newspaper. You can read it here , if you want. This is the photograph I had in mind while I read Clemens' dictations. He really was a masterful storyteller, even when rambling on about the poorly designed door knobs in Florence or in describing the Countess Massiglia, who he described as a "pestiferous character." About her, he said, “She is excitable, malicious, malignant, vengeful, unforgiving, selfish, stingy, avaricious, coarse, vulgar, profane, obscene, a furious blusterer on the outside and at heart a coward.” And I laughed out loud.
