tenayaAnyone remember that lovely movie with Patrick McGoohan? It was based on the novels of Russell Thorndike and they have been out of print for decades. Apparently, some publishing house has reprinted them because Amazon has a few titles of the series, published in June of 2004. I'm so excited! That movie though...I was utterly captivated by McGoohan's Dr. Syn. Powerful, mysterious, heroic and a total rogue--when he wasn't being the milktoast vicar. And he was sexy as hell. I must have been all of 5 years old when I was swept away by the goings on at Romney Marsh.
Did I mention I was excited?

Date: 2004-08-26 01:48 am (UTC)Actually, I was reading one of the books, and I kept thinking, Syn and Mipps...just friends or something more?
BTW, the raccoons are very active tonight. Back and forth, back and forth. They're a little spooked, but not enough to just leave the area. Still as cute as can be.

I'm not surprised. I think I remember her from Upstairs Downstairs.
The raccoons have been by once already. Just before dawn last night, the three legged guy stopped by. It's amazing he does as well as he does. The kibble was mostly gone, and I opened the door slowly. He just backed off maybe half a step and was actually still within reach, and just waited patiently for some more kibble. I'm sure he must me Cutiepie's brother. He's quite a bit bigger than her, so he must be a boy, I guess.

Date: 2004-08-27 08:31 pm (UTC)Yes, the officer was sweet on the girl, and I *think* he let her go, or her brother go, one time when he caught him/them. So he was sort of a nice guy after all. But my memories are a bit vague.
Karen Dotrice was also the little girl in Mary Poppins. She has a sister Michele who is married to Edward Woodward.
Don't you wish you could read the thoughts of the raccoons, i.e. what they think of the nice ladies who put out a picnic and recreation for them every night? ;-) They must have figured out you're pretty harmless by now. Wonder if the three-legged one has a mate and kits of his own? That is cool that he's managed so long, survival of the fittest and all that.

Date: 2004-08-26 04:39 am (UTC)For me the third major crush was Ross Martin as Artemus Gordon in Wild Wild West I just loved the man.
So does that makes us 2/3 sisters? ;-)

Date: 2004-08-26 05:03 am (UTC)You may have noticed I put a bid in for one of your The Champions DVDs. I was quite smitten with Richard. Are we now 4 for 5??
There's a re-occuring theme here, I think. ;-)

Date: 2004-08-26 05:07 am (UTC)Well in the case of The Champions it's a tie between Richard and Stuart. After all we did get The Interrogation where Stuart's character got "interrogated" and he did end up getting knocked over the head often enough ;-)
So yeah 4/5 sisters
