"An Early Frost"

Undoubtedly, there are others, who are able to chime in, with much older history, and vast knowledge. If I would put myself in a box, it would be in the transitional group between a time that was, and a time that is.

I grew up in a time, and can recall when MTV played music videos, reality TV was unheard of, smoking was allowed in hospitals, and universal precautions were not used, AIDS was not widespread.

Seeing society change over the years and the amount of knowledge that has been learned is facinating.

For the time period in which it was released, and "Early Frost" was decades ahead of its time and protrayed the issues revolving around the issue with modern pizzaz, courage, and strength. And an all star cast of individuals who know the true meaning of acting. Aidian Quinn plays the central character Michael, who not only has to deal with the new diagnosis of AIDS but comming out to his parents, his mother who is the stealler Gena Rowlands of "The notebook". The humor of the film comes from John Glover. His best roll was of course in "Love Valour and Compassion". His protrayal of an AIDS patient who is fighting, reminds me of his character James Jeckle. John was nominated a emmy for his role in an "Early Frost".

Definately a must watch film for those individuals who are interested in the progression of cinama, or just want to see a very well done film that was light-years ahead of its time.

Interesting times are ahead dear Harry....

Went to yoga this morning. Gwen taught, and it was a work-out. She wasn't bad, and I am feeling a little better regarding the teacher switch, specially after talking to Bill on the phone.

Jim came over last night, and talking to him always makes me feel better. He was making sure that I was doing o.k. as he and his partner do genuine look out for my well being.

Ran into Ken P. at the gym, which was, for lack of a better term, interesting. He invited me over for dinner on WED, and it should be a gas. Definately. I'll have to think of something to take...wine is out of the question as he doesn't drink. Hmmmm Flowers perhaps. Miss Dalloway did say she would by the flowers herself.

Had a nice little chat with the Banker Marc. Didn't see any wedding band, but at any rate, he was very helpful, and I should be doing o.k. money wise. *fingers crossed*

I'm slowly kicking my ass into gear and getting some things done, that just need to be done. OF course monkey wrenches in the road are alway a challenge, and I am dealing with that.

Going up to Minneapolis this afternoon-to sort of kill a few birds with one stone. Need to stop at some local haunts for some art supplies, and misc baloney. Should swing by the Mega Mall and Ikea (if time allows), although I really need to watch my foodstamps. Hopefully will run into Lark, and then sometime today, I must go and get my taxes ready....
