1. Today is the 25th anniversary of the day John Lennon was shot point blank and killed in front of his home; I am as upset by that today as when I first heard the news. If you're old enough, do you remember where you were when you first heard the news? Links to other Thursday Thirteens! |

My Thursday Thirteen:

I was in my Senior year in High School....when he was killed. I remember like it was yesterday...I felt like someone punched me in the stomach. I was never much of a Beatles fan but I was a huge John Lennon fan....
One time, for his Birthday (which is in October and is the same day as Sean's) Yoko hired a sky writer plane to fill the sky with "Happy Birthday John and Sean" when Sean was just a little guy. Being so close to the city we saw it and thought it was just the greatest thing.....
I used to go to a place called the "Bizarre Bar" - lol....strange place but lots of fun!
I miss John Lennon.
And Sam Adams ANYTHING is good. Where is my Cranberry Lambic this year?

You did not stand up your girlfriend! No! Oh Janet... I had such high hopes for your gym attendance. Sigh. (giggles, really, I just feel bad for your girlfriend, that I am her and you are my neighbor in this situation!)
Love comes when you least expect it, and from a place you wouldn't even think to look.
Hugs to you!!
I loved #9, Janet!
Here from Michele's!
I am so bad about doing these things, but I like to read them.
#5 was a problem at my office today, as well.
I love things Japanese as well. I have serveral woodblock prints. One nice one of waterfall and bamboo is in my office. I like your blog-style. My 13 is up at http://www.20six.co.uk/Enigma
Wish you well!
Great List! I LOVE Fellowship of the Ring!!! I have the collectors edition of the Lord of the Rings movies and all three Harry Potter movies.
I did my 13 today too, drop by and say hi!
smilin toast eh? interesting ;)
Michele sent me to see you, Janet.
I don't like TRex but I do like Lennon. I was in DC visiting friends when he was shot. It was quite a shock though I was young enough that it didn't have the impact it would have on me now. I was 19 at the time.
Shoot, I forgot!
The Bizarre Bazaar rocks, however, last year it was held at the YWCA in Cambridge and there was over a 2-hour wait to get in. Granted, we tried to go the first night so we could get the best stuff, and plus they were having a band that was only doing Theremin Christmas Carols. Im just saying go early so if there is a line, you can get a good spot. And even though I didnt see the exact toast you were talking about, I bet Heidi made it, from mypapercrane.com. I buy a lot of her stuff online. Adorable.
Hey - Bizarre Bazaar smiling toast girl has a blog: http://mypapercrane.com/ I've read hers for a LONG time! She's very talented, and makes lots of goddies like the toasts. Have fun!
I really like your # 12. Snape is an aquired taste but once you aacquire it...vavoom baby!
