| The Birds |
Its been raining and overcast for almost two (2 )weeks in Pittsburgh! Like a leaking faucet it just keeps drizzling-ah!! When there is a patch of sun I run outside and try to soak it up but then a few hours or minutes later, gray clouds show up emptying participation on my picnic, walk, or bike ride. So this weekend with the perpetual outside grayness I gave into the suggestion of
Little Golden Books," to just do nothing" like in
Day 17, but this time I watched classic movies in high definition (HD).

Reflection
My new big TV was a gift. To get the full benefit of this gift, I broke open my piggy bank to get the extended cable and HD service - all new experiences for this low tech girl. I have not seen the classic Hitchcock movie,
The Birds, since I was about ten (10). The TV size and HD made a vibrant difference. I also notice how much life had changed since I first saw this film. First, the lead actress was wearing a fur - a no no these days; they smoked in almost every scene- we now know the effects of smoking; and lastly, bourbon was offered like coffee. The movie story which is basically - a women just meets a man then finds out where he lives, goes to his house, opens the unlocked door and leaves him a note and some "love birds, sounds like stalking or fatal attraction 101 to me!

I must say that for an old movie the bird scenes were still suspenseful even if this time they were not as scary I remembered at age ten (10). Now we have Jurassic Park's special effects but the birds looked pretty real to me and the school scene was still creepy and eerie. Way to go Hitchcock!

So if the rain rain will not go away why not try a classic movie HD day?
Spiritual Reflection
When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?
