10 Movies, 10 Images

A HOUSE WHERE ALL'S
ACCUSTOMED, CEREMONIOUS
Peter's Friends ~ well worth watching
not only for the drama but also for the quirky
and lavish Christmas decorations of Wrotham Park

A few months back, I participated in an introspective facebook quiz organized by none other than Master of Revels Steven LaVigne. The challenge was to post pictures from 10 films that have had an impact on you: 10 movies, 10 images, no text required, though I myself can rarely resist a bit of text. The idea was to have a little fun while waiting out the summer quarantine. When it comes to movies, however, I was already thinking ahead to Christmas, so my list comes out at half and half. Of course, there are so many more possibilities; but, on impulse, I went with the following visuals that jumped most readily to mind:

Choose Me

Harriet the Spy

Desperately Seeking Susan

Airport 1975

Mrs. Dalloway

~ Now for some Thanksgiving ~ Christmas ~ New Year Favorites ~

A Child's Christmas in Wales

James Joyce's The Dead

Home for the Holidays

Christmas Vacation

Truman Capote's A Christmas Memory

WELCOME NEW READERS!

COINCIDENCES ARE ALWAYS THERE FOR THE TAKING. CONNECTIONS ARE ALWAYS THERE FOR THE MAKING.

WHAT A STRANGE WORLD THIS WOULD BE IF THERE WERE NO COINCIDENCES!

ISN'T A DAY WITHOUT A COINCIDENCE ACTUALLY WAY MORE UNUSUAL THAN A DAY FULL OF COINCIDENCES?

If you are a newcomer to this blog, all you really need to know is that I will post a new entry every two weeks, thus "fortnightly," i.e., every fourteen days -- on the 14th of the month & then again on the 28th.

If you are interested in reading previous posts, look near the top of right-hand column for the "Blog Archive." Click on the black arrows for a list of months, then click on the name of each month for that month's posts. You will find two essays per month, starting in February 2009.

If you go back in the archives to Monday, September 14th, you can read my statement of purpose for what I am trying to accomplish on these pages: http://kitticarriker.blogspot.com/2009/09/not-memo-mission-statement_14.html

If you would like to read more while waiting for the next fortnightly essay of connection and coincidence, you are in luck! Just go to my DAILY BLOG: http://dailykitticarriker.blogspot.com/

And my BOOK BLOG: http://www.kittislist.blogspot.com/

You can also get there by clicking on the big "CARRIKER" signs near the top of right-hand column.

The book blog, "Kitti's List," is a running log, with commentary of my past and current reading. The titles are organized primarily by the date of reading but also somewhat thematically.

On the daily blog, "The Quotidian Kit," I post -- every other day or so -- bits & bobs from both the Fortnightly "Kitti Carriker" and "Kitti's List," just to keep you informed of what is going on there. For example, I will probably re-publish this column about how to navigate the blogs on "The Quotidian" sometime in the coming week.

In addition, I occasionally feature blogs run by friends, various cross references and links that you may find of interest, announcements of community events, news about my family, old and new favorite poems, seasonal pictures and quotations, and photos of my adorable cats (sorry, can't resist!).

On both the right-hand & left-hand columns of "The Quotidian" you will find a permanent list of the many one - liners and quotations that I have collected over the years. I hope you will find a few there that will stick in your mind as they have stuck in mine.

Please read, enjoy, follow & comment! Thanks!
