Huh? Clue me in, please?

I'm a Mac user.

I was attempting to be clever.

Clearly I need to work on that.

Ah!

No worries there, Boston. I'm a nut. I don't understand fruit.

I'm a Mac user, too. That fruit company.

Didn't Microsoft just steal Windows from Acorn Computers anyway?

I like pineapples.




Wait....what were we talking about?




p.s.-that's an awesome present, Del!

we ....

have...

*SNOW*

not a lot, mind you, and by now it's mostly gone - which allows me to be happier about it, but there was enough I had to brush off the car this morning.

Why am I happy about this? Dunno. Just am.

I'm so glad you're north of me. I'm so not ready to deal with snow yet.

oh, hey - speaking of things to deal with.

I see next spring Pittsburgh is tapped to handle yet another international-type gathering.

You thrilled?

No snow where I am. But it is pretty cold!

Oh and I am now a glorious beacon of light!

you are?

why?

someone set your hair on fire?

No, it's my warm smile and hot outfits.

ohhh....

Nope. Haven't heard a thing about it. Guess my head-in-the-sand trick is working rather well.

Yup.

UN Environment Day or some such or other. Starts with fesitivities on Earth Day and runs until June.

Ah. That's kinda like a movie-thing, then. That's nothing. We generally have 3-6 Hollywood movies filming in the area any given month, so it's totally old hat. Barely even a mention in the middle of the entertainment section of the newspapers.

I remember when it used to be a big deal in Pittsburgh when Hollywood came to town. Now look at you, all jaded and such. Start hiring cabbies who don't speak English and you'll be well on your way to being a mini-NY

ROFL!

Actually, it helps a lot that I live 30 miles east of the city itself and all my business is only in Oakland, with rare exception. Really limits my interaction with stuff like that.

But I'm not joking about it barely rating a blurb in the newspapers. Sometimes when an A-lister comes to town, it gets a mention on the TV, but generally it's just business as normal. Just another Pittsburgh cottage-industry, this movie-stuff, y'know? LOL!

Just jumping uninvited into the conversation to say....

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!

And your stylie boots.

Morning everyone!

I see Sarah dropped by. Still no sign of the Tigress or the rabid squirrel though...

Del - the fun part is picking the places off the screen that were shot in Pittsburgh even though they aren't set in Pittsburgh...

Like that "Smithsonian" museum in "Silence of the Lambs"

We do that all the time with films shot in Vancouver that are supposed to be in major US cities...hee hee.

Yeah, they are kinda cool, thank you.

Who lives in Pittsburgh?
