Smoking Gun...

The Eagle has Landed...and, so the gun has fired!!

Max arrived on Sunday with my Daddy, Larry!! Sebastian and I said farewell, after six years together, at Carmax in Irving on Monday in the AM and I walked away with $1200.00. We got Max inspected and titled in Texas, received the new plates, and transferred insurance. And, just like that, Max became my new transport in this metroplex.

And so, Max's arrival hearalds the beginning of this project.

Responses will begin posting next week on Wednesday. Our first selection will be Julie and Julia, the film that inspired this project.

Selections to follow will be picked based on a "six-degrees-of-Kevin Bacon" method. For anyone who does not understand the rules to that game, they are thus: The game requires a group of players to try to connect any film actor in history to Kevin Bacon as quickly as possible and in as few links as possible. And so, selection will be similar, but instead of searching for Kevin Bacon, we'll be finding the other films in my collection that include similar actors, in order to keep boredom at bay. If the exiting actor from a film freezes the process, then alphabetical selection will act as a failsafe to continue the process. When selection enters a series, Harry Potter, for instance, the series will begin at the beginning and continue serially until the series is complete. Special thanks to Sarah Ramos for the idea!!

And we're off!!
