Anyone see 'American Haunting'? {and forgive me for not reading back...}

Nope! I'm a Little Mermaid virgin!

So, a Coit Tower pizza on the way from North Beach Pizza and some fuzzy water, my cat is comfy on her spot snoring away and I will soon be watching The Little Mermaid.

Knowing the history and rumors of Coit Tower...I hesitate to ask what's on that.

Ugh, for some reason I can't edit the previous post, nor can I seem to delete it...

What history and rumors are you referring to?

Quote:

Lillie Hitchcock Coit, philanthropist and admirer of the fire fighters at the 1906 earthquake fire, left funds to The City for beautification of San Francisco.

Those funds were used for the construction of the 210 ft. tall art deco Coit Tower at the top of Telegraph Hill. The tower’s design is reminiscent of a fire hose nozzle and was quite controversial. The Golden Gate Bridge is another San Francisco landmark with an art deco design.

And a nice article on Lillian from 1939

The Coit Tower - pizza variety has pepperoni, sausage, salami and mushrooms. Excellent crust, not too thick, but enough with a good chewy texture. I'm partial to their Verdi Pizza as well (fresh spinach, pesto, onions and feta cheese no red sauce)

Oh, and I loved The Little Mermaid!

Saw the Third Man again last night, what a great film, I just love the cinematography in it, so many homages to Caligari and German Expressionist cinema - loved it. I hope Lisa can catch it soon herself.

Little Mermaid's one of my all time fav's of the "new" Disney. I've seen it a billion times. Saw it in the theatre dozens of times. Saw it twice at El Cap. Love it!

Maybe today I won't sleep through The Third Man.

Great movie! Best charactr entrance ever, you'll love it, it involves a cat

I must've fallen asleep before the cat. I remember a dog or 2.

I blame my husband for my falling asleep. He's so comfortable to cuddle with.
