They were meant to appear like three truths and a lie. In reality, they all make me cry. Today I was fine. I actually haven't cried since last summer so that's why I chose to play them all today. Nada. Oh well, maybe next time.

Do you have a cry song?

A song done in 1963 makes me cry. It was played on a record player right after this girl committed suicide in a movie called "Girl Interrupted."

It's called "The end of the world." It was done by Skeeter Davis. It made me realize that suicide just isn't worth it. She had lots to live for----but she didn't believe she did.

1. I took myself to see "American Graffiti" in 1973. It cost 50 cents.

2. I really liked "Kentucky Fried Movie."

3. There was a movie called "New Leaf" in 1971. It made me realize that anybody can "turn over a new leaf," and start anew, no matter what. I didn't understand its satire back when I was ten years old.

Come on, Captain, you can wear your shoes
Don't it make a change to have a girl who can't refuse?
Easy money, lying on a bed
Just as well they never see the hate that's in your head
Don't they know they're making love to one already dead?


Les Mis, in tribute to your friend.


1 and 3 for you.

That prostitute I knew still had "life in her head."

I used to want to save prostitutes when I was younger. I've never had sex with one. There was one, in the 1980s, who sat on my lap in a diner. She was pretty attractive. But I just couldn't do it. I gave her a couple of bucks, though. For nothing.

The answer is #2. I didn't really care for Kentucky Fried Movie. #1 is totally true. It was at the Drake Theater on the Horace Harding Expressway right next to the Long Island Expressway in Elmhurst, Queens. It doesn't exist any more. It cost 50 cents because I was thought to be under 12 (I was 12).

I don't know Kentucky Fried Movie, but it sounds pretty bad.

I'm glad your friend was still alive.

Do you like calamari?

Actually, I haven't seen her since I left Brighton Beach. She was about my age---so it's likely she's alive. She might have been a crack addict, though, unfortunately.

Yep. I like calamari. Especially fried.

1. I thought ordering Spaghetti with King Crab sauce at Jean's was really "adult."

2. My father showed me the Big Dipper on our way home from Jean's in 1969.

3. "Jean" was playing on the radio when we were driving home on the Belt Parkway.

I like calamari as well.
I think 3 would be too coincidental. lol.

"I love you more today than yesterday," by Spiral Staircase, was actually playing on the radio when we were driving home. We had a gray 1967 Oldsmobile Delta 88. It was a swell car. The car we had before was a 1963 Mercury Comet, with a white exterior and red seats. It seemed like an old car to me.

One day, when I was going to brain-injured nursery school, my father brought the Delta 88 to meet my mother and I in Flushing, Queens. I thought it was the coolest car! It smelled so nice and new. I thought I had the coolest father. I was six years old (the "brain-injured nursery school" was actually my kindergarten).

"Jean" was a big hit at the same time, though. It was from the movie "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie."

What a lovely memory.

1. I nearly punched the television today: a narrator said that Charlottë Bronte wrote Wuthering Heights
2. I went to dinner with my mother tonight, and had calamari
3. I only read a few more chapters of my book today

LOL I put the ë on Charlotte instead of Brontë. OOPS.
1. is true (what the hell; it was a BBC show to boot)
2. is a lie. I didn't see my mother and if I did, it would have involved a private message. lol.
3. is true.

You probably read more than a few chapters. #3.

1. I knew a kid named Richard Simon at Summit School. We used to sing "Richard Simon was a pie man, going to the fair" to him.

2. I knew a kid named Matthew Katz at Summit School. He had a sister I had a crush on. I ignored Matthew and concentrated on the sister. I stole "Infant and Child in the Culture of Today" from the Katz bookshelf. I was banned from their apartment for life.

3. Matthew Katz lived in the same apartment building I lived in.

1? I don't know the song or how ironic that would be.

It's from a nursery rhyme that went: "Simple Simon met a pie man, going to the fair."

In the early 60s, there were many songs which seemed to be jump rope jingles. Usually done by "girl groups." One of them was named "Sally go 'round the roses." A big hit in 1963 by the Jaynetts. Supposedly, it was about a lesbian relationship.

The answer is #3. Matthew Katz lived across Queens Boulevard from me, not in the same building. I wasn't allowed to cross Queens Boulevard until I was in sixth grade.

It is true that I stole that book. I got really engrossed in it. I was 11 years old. I was a stupid kid for not asking if I could take it. They probably would have let me take it. I was banned from the apartment forever because of this.

Ring Around the Rosie was about the Black Plague.
Simple Simon does sound familiar, now that you point that out.

I stole a library book from school when I was six. It had a carousel horse on the cover but I can't remember the name.
It was hidden in under my drawer liner for years but I don't know where it went.
For the love of books :heart:
