I was walking along the Westin Book Cadillac Hotel when I heard a voice say "cut"! Some people were shooting a TV series called Detroit 1-8-7 on State St. just beside the hotel. The security people told me that I could not pass on that particular side of the street. So, I turned around and headed back to the hotel and bumped into a familiar face at the door but didn't register.

Yes, as usual the night owl in me is up and wide awake in the wee hours and decided that watching TV rather than counting those sheep to will myself to sleep is a better option to catch those elusive z's.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead aka Ramona V. Flowers What would a guy do to win her love? Fight and defeat her seven evil exes even if one of them is a girl. Scott Pilgrim did. How about you? Well, the movie is good for cheap laugh but her beauty is not. Yes, there is really a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.
