This house is too good not to use as a setting for a movie, if only for my favorite blog game! So, lets channel our inner Van Sant, Soderbergh and von Trier ... if this were the setting for a scene in a film, what would happen here?
I immediately thought of a set for The Twilight Zone with Rod Serling standing off to the side with his signature intro to the show. Maybe the people inside are aliens, or clones. Perhaps it is a miniature world and astronauts have landed to discover Lilliputian sized people dwelling inside this match box building.......
On a dark, new moon night, a handful of kids came, slightly tipsy, with rolls of TP, ready to do the deed and make the house look like one of the cake wrecks, only to be scared off by the local police cruising by to check the neighborhood. Amazing what those small mounds of dirt can hide if a kid lays flat enough while the cops drive by.
ahem...or, that's what I'd think *could* happen there...;-)
In December of 2007, after many years on the west side of Los Angeles (and at least a third of those years spent stuck in traffic on Pico Boulevard) my family settled into a happy little house in South Pasadena. This daily blog covered almost 5 years as I put down roots in my new home town -- and almost 5 more as I settled in and became a South Pas old-timer. Here it is...my time capsule of South Pasadena.

I was thinking of a modern remake of "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari". Those trees are scarily surreal looking.
It reminds me of a Billy
Wilder movie. But then again, nearly everything reminds me of Billy Wilder movie.
Nice, people!
K, everything reminds me of either a Wilder movie or a line from F. Scott Fitzgerald. (Although this picture, oddly, reminds me of neither...)
Trish. I'm shocked. :-)
Until tomorrow...
