On the Road Again -- Cleveland...

[kybearfuzz]

Nothing like bad weather and a strong desire to stay home to make fate step in to send me out of town for the week. As some of my friends will attest, I've been whining about it for a week or so. I'm up north this time in Cleveland, where it's blistery cold and there has been a great deal of snow on the ground. I look forward to Friday just to get home.

On the long boring way up, I had my iPod blaring. One of the songs playing was "Harper Valley PTA" by Martina McBride off of the Desperate Housewives soundtrack. I had always loved this song and loved the movie starring Barbara Eden even more. After work today, I stopped by Sam's Club (yes, yes, I know.. evil) and lo and behold there was Harper Valley P.T.A. on DVD for $4.72.

There is something about finding a great movie on DVD for next to nothing that makes my mood improve considerably. I also picked up Logan's Run, which I've never seen, for the same price. Seeing how it's way too cold to go out, it's a good distraction while I'm working on stuff tonight.

Capote is playing nearby, so I may catch an early movie tomorrow...

Mark, you always find the most interesting movies to watch! I can barely remember Harper Valley PTA and now that song is stuck in my head!

I've always loved this movie. And getting the song stuck in your head was part of my evil plan! Mwahahahahahaha!

Logan's Run is incredibly cheesy but fun!

I loved that movie. It was filmed here locally. Near Lebanon I believe.

I guess I need to run to Sam's Club!

If you can't find it, let me know and I'll pick up another copy for you :)

How wierd is that? I just watched Logan's Run last night for the first time.

Harper Valley PTA... fun. I actually remember the tv show that followed more than the movie itself. I remember Barbara Eden, Fannie Flagg and Edie McClurg on the show pretty clear and it ran a couple of years if I remember correct. I wonder if I'd still think it was any good, or just crap like so many late 70's tv shows I loved as a kid.

I do remember the series and it seems like it followed pretty close to the movie, but I think it only ran for one season. I do remember Fannie Flagg being on it though, always liked her :)

Brrr ... Cleveland in February. Yuck. I don't envy your location at the moment. We lived there for almost a year and I could not WAIT to leave. *laugh* Dave grew up in a suburb of Cleveland and loves it ... I never saw what he sees in it. ;)

I'm sure that it has it's charm, but it's too cold right now for me to go looking for it.

[bleuvalentines.livejournal.com]

No ... it really doesn't. ;)

I'll probably watch Logan's Run tonight. I've heard things about it, but just never got around to watching it.

... and according to the movie, it was filmed in Lebanon, OH. :)
