This Week's Celebrity Twit-peeps!

So, as y'all know, I'm a bit of a celeb-magnet on Twitter. A couple weeks ago, Bill Corbett, star of stage & screen, tweeted at me. Then, The Lost Skeleton started following me, as did His Creator, the multi-talented Larry Blamire.

This week, more celebs. First, I had a big rap session (okay, it was like 2 tweets) with long-time L.A. Times music critic Robert Hilburn, in which he broke my heart by telling me that Alan Parsons is unlikely to make it into the Rock Hall of Fame. Then, the pièce de résistance: a direct message (DM, in twitter-speak) from the beautiful & talented Mr. Crosby Loggins. Due to the way my DMs are set up, I first saw this tweet on my cellfone, enabling me to pretend that Crosby could resist my charms no longer and had txt'd my fone. Hahhahahahhhaha. Fun stuff.



I'm quite sure that one day soon, there will be far too many people on Twitter for fun stuff like this to occur, so I'm getting a kick out of it now, while I can.

Thank you, Mr. Hilburn! Thanks, Crosby! Fellas like you make Twitter more fun for a mild-mannered library worker such as myself.

Cheap Twit Date

I've been tweeted at this week by a couple of people whose creative work I happen to adore, and this has apparently turned me into a giddy school girl. I kid you not. I. AM. PLOTZING.! I've gone all Marcia Brady during the Desi Arnaz Jr. episode!

Earlier this week, Bill Corbett tweeted at me. Now, Larry Blamire.

I dunno how much more of this my heart can take, People.

Tip tip tip tip tip tip tip!

Now, I sleep.

The Lost Skeleton Returns Again!

One of my favorite movies EVAR is a little number called "The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra." I had the pleasure of seeing this movie on the big screen during its brief theatrical release several years ago. I took my little boy and we *screamed* with laughter. When the DVD came out, I bought it, then proceeded to make all my friends watch it!

"But Katerz," you ask. "What is this 'Lost Skeleton'? Tell us more." Okay, okay. Settle down! What 'Lost Skeleton' is is a LOVE LETTER -- a valentine, if you will -- to every schlock horror film of the '50s and '60s you've ever seen. It's a real labor of love on the part of the filmmakers and crew, and I hope you'll take a minute to read more about it here (then go buy it!).

Being such a huge fan of this flick, you can imagine my surprise when I learned that a SEQUEL had been made, and SCREENED here in my very TOWN in November! Ohhhhh -- the horror! I can't believe I missed it. ::weeps:: I hope it comes around again so I can see it, but I will certainly buy it when it becomes available on DVD. At least I have these awesome trailers available for viewing on my home computer!

Larry Blamire & Co.: I salute you.
