My bad blogging but good movie-watching week continues with a fast Non-Sequitur Thursday post. I am into Alfred Hitchcock today. I offered Steven a choice of The Birds or Psycho, and he chose The Birds. Murder and mayhem without being too disturbing. And we get to make fun of Annie the doormat. It is rather unbecoming of me, come to think about it, because I have sometimes acted the doormat myself, in my sordid, low-self-esteemed past. I try to avoid such behavior these days, but you just never now what you might do given the right (or wrong) circumstances.
This was the only photo I could find quickly featuring Annie the doormat. I can’t think of anything witty to say about Rod Taylor or Veronica Cartwright, so I will merely note their presence.
Maybe I can talk Steven into watching Psycho next. It starts slow then picks up and become quite satisfyingly creepy. In the meantime, I am missing The Birds while I type in this blog post. Full disclosure: I think I am coming down with a stupid cold. I hope I am feeling better tomorrow. Perhaps I could forgo Lame Post Friday and write a good post, to make up for my bad blogging week. No promises. Happy Thursday, though.



I love The Birds!
It is one of our go-to movies.
I liked all of Hitchcock films. I tend to enjoy “Rear Window” and “North and Northwest” best of all. I binged and have seen every last “Bates Motel” episodes on television. Vera Fermigila and Freddie Highmore were incredible at “becoming” those characters. . . Great post and thanks for pointing out about Annie the doormat.
I try to not be a doormat but my latest dating disaster was actually being over-confident. I usually ask questions and allow the man to talk for hours but I talked about my parents relationship and how it raised my expectations. I think it may seem rather self-centered but I had hopes to help this man to know I would like a partnership which is fair and equal. I pray he will think about this and come back to me. We will see. Honesty is how I roll now. xo 💖
“Rear Window” is our favorite. I have always honesty is the best policy. Isn’t that the commonest sit-com plot: the main character tells a lie and spends the rest of the half-hour trying to cover it up.
So true, thanks for making me feel better! 🤗 Have a great week ahead! 🌈
You too!
Honesty is the best policy,I have always maintained! I am sure you are not nearly the doormat Annie was. I thankfully know nothing about dating theses days!
