Tied up all day and almost missed cturtle! That would have been awful! All the very best, cturtle! You've long been one of my favorites on this board, and I've enjoyed your videos immensely! LOUD CHEERS FOR CTURTLE!
In honor of your not wanting to answer too many questions, I won't ask you anything! I'll just send good wishes.

cturtle - congratulations to a very talented, generous and deserving MBCotD. I greatly enjoyed your "Wicked" skating videos. Now that I know what you actually do for a living I have a question for you.

Since you are a children's librarian how do you think children's books have changed over the years from when you were a child. How do they compare?

Dear Turtle,

A thousand congratulations on your big day!

I should be paying my Amex bill before midnight, but instead--in your honor--I am posting photos of the man you and I hold in highest cinematic esteem. Here's to Truffaut, the man who brought us together!

Someday, Cturtle, this will be you!

My favorite picture of him. It makes me sigh.

A famous early portrait.

Another one of his famous "director" portraits.

Here's a famous shot from his masterpiece, Jules et Jim.

On the set of his masterpiece with La Moreau.

And finally, the photo I had hanging in my house that my very own father looked at and asked, "Who's that in the photo with you?"

"Oh, that's Francois Truffaut, Dad."

(It isn't me in the photo. It's Julie Christie, but who am I to argue with my father...a man with EXCELLENT eyesight, by the way. That would be disrespectful!)

[cturtle]

IF I COULD HAVE ANYONE FOR DINNER: i'd have miss piggy, cause she'd taste so good. ha! but seriously, folks ... matt savoie! i've been a fan of his skating since he was a kid, and he just seems like such a nice smart young man ... and i'd serve him anything he wanted

IF I COULD GO BACK IN TIME AND CHANGE ANYTHING: i'd have taken dance, learned to play the piano, and developed my voice ... now i'm too old to learn such things ... and i would have come OUT sooner, except that i might not have met my man, so i don't wish that afterall.

THE THINGS THAT'S BROUGHT ME THE MOST PLEASURE IN THE PAST YEAR: making a home with my man

IF I COULD BE ANYONE: i'd just be me ... but i wouldn't mind looking like this ...

You're cuter, C!

[cturtle]

Posted: 3/29/06 at 12:40am

IF MY HOUSE WERE ON FIRE: i'd get the photo albums of all the memories me and my man have shared.

SOMETHING I'VE NEVER DONE THAT I'D LIKE TO DO: i'd like to have sex with the man in the photo above. (but i only make love to my man.)

HOW HAS KID LIT CHANGED: kid lit is better now than ever! so much amazing writing being done in the field, not to mention illustrating ... a very very rich medium at present.

the person i would most have wanted to be friends with as a child would be my man. in some ways i was a lonely misunderstood boy and never really had a very very best friend. we would have RULED as kids. but it's not too late for us ... we act like kids almost every day

kitz, i cried a lot when sergei passed also. i thought about it so much and couldn't get it off my mind that a couple of days later i wrote this poem ...

For G & G:
20 November 1995

Speak to me
you forged runners
of silent steel
hard as diamonds
yet delicate as a wing
carving its ephemeral design
into the air

Tell me of the time
you took your first hesitant steps
side by side
looking shyly into each other's eyes
and so aware
that each ponderous edge
was taken right

Let me feel you
flow in fluid form
treble and bass
swirled in a symphony of melody
and counter-melody
two lines separate and unique
curving in such close congruence
that you become
one

I want to thrill again
to the supple strength and discipline
pounded out in powerful strokes
that sent you soaring to the height of unified perfection
to the center of the flame
glowing golden
for all to see

Speak to me
for now you seem a distant dream
and I long to see
your flashing smile and flickering eyes
circle toward me
in warm white light

but the only sound I hear
is a single blade
scratching out a
lone wandering line
across
the
cold
cold
ice

If you love ice skating, you should see one of Truffaut's other masterpieces Shoot the Piano Player. There's no ice skating...exactly. I don't want to give anything away.

You are SO sweet, C. The way you talk about your relationship is so endearing.

xxoo
Penny

oh, we saw the road show of LITTLE WOMEN tonite. (and i'm taking a half day off work tomorrow, hence my staying up so late tonite.) no, it is not a GREAT musical, but i found it to be very entertaining nonetheless. it had been a while since we'd seen a live musical, so it was a little like visiting an old friend in a new place. the music grew on me as the show progressed, and the singing voices were first rate. MAUREEN was just gorgeous. too bad she didn't have MORE to sing. we could have listened to her all night. (we did see/hear her in concert two or three years ago, and it was wonderful.) the end of the show was particularly sweet
