Mighty fine

I don't know why, but I just feel absolutely great today. From the moment I woke up I was all OHH YEAH LIFE IS SWEET.

I'm sitting here in my pajama bottoms (got caught in the rain earlier), drawing and listening to some Louis Prima (now and then getting up and dancing a bit, because the swing's got me), and later tonight I'm going to probably watch another Marx Bros movie, and hopefully finish the first season of TOS. While eating tacos :D

AND I've downloaded an episode of The Lone Ranger featuring a certain DeForest Kelley (*innocent whistle*) because looking at old pictures from his Western days has just killed me with unf.

Ooh! *saves photo*

By the way, you should totally make a post sometime about what sort of non-Trek Kelley/Shatner(/Nimoy?) things you're watching (and where you're finding them!). Fear in the Night is, so far, the only thing I've seen with any of the actors in it. I'm always afraid to look for other Kelley movies, because he never seems to be listed as one of the main characters, so I figure he's going to be some random dude with three lines or something. :P But I would love to see some cowboy!Kelley movies.

I simply stumbled over that Lone Ranger episode (download link halfway down this page (http://www.syredronning.de/mccoy_worship.html) BTW) without looking. Disappointingly he just features as an abused ranch owner in that one, no cowboy, but the more I read about his career in Westerns I'm more determined I'm going to try to look up more of his pre-Trek stuff. I mean, Wikipedia says he had a problem with being typecast as villains in Westerns, and damn I want to see that! (I suppose that promo image must be from one of them because black hat = baddie, right?)

Don't worry, I'll definitely mention it if I find more!

Wait, forget that link: I just discovered it's on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fjsdaCDCkQ&feature=fvw) with about a thousand times better resolution (wish I'd known that an hour ago).

I see that user has uploaded more Kelley TV goodness. I think I'm going to watch that Bonanza episode when I find the time, it's apparantly considered a real classic.
