Walking home from getting supper yesterday, I saw a man get hit by a car, a major strike, one of his shoes flew off and skittered against the curb. He seemed externally ok… he was helped to his feet, and was walking fairly well, but the people that hit him took him (I assume) to the hospital to be checked out. I can still hear the “Skid-thump” in my head… I’m glad it wasn’t a gory accident.

They recovered his shoe, and took it with them. That makes me contemplate about why some folks like to be shod or just collect shoes so much? I certainly prefer to go barefoot wherever and whenever I can. I can see the pleasure or sense of security that having your feet wrapped in socks might bring, but shoes… That seems to be something else… a sense of looking nicer, maybe? Most people think that the human foot is an unattractive part of the body, if they think about it at all. (I don’t even know which mental direction to take, when talking about fetishists… what little I’ve seen in that department seem to prefer costuming and shoes, but I could be completely off on that area of interest.

With some women and shoes seems to be like some men and tv-sports. That is, I don’t get either attraction by either group, and I’ve seen a small crossover of women interested in tv-sports, but I don’t know of any men that are big into shoes… of course, I don’t hang out with many “Metrosexuals” either.

Maybe it’s like the compulsion gamers get to buy dice? I don’t know. Speaking of gaming, I think Incredibles actually diminished my urge to play city of heroes.. I miss the family-style roleplay of Champions.

Quantum Leap movie filming in January?

Over the past couple of years theres been plenty of rumors, speculation and wishful-thinking concerning a new “Quantum Leap” movie or series.

At one stage, it looked like there might be a new series in development, and then a potential film, both without original stars Dean Stockwell and Scott Bakula.

Today, a ray of hope for those that dropped tears when reading that last report.

Dark Horizons reports that Dean Stockwell and Scott Bakula will star in a new “Quantum Leap” feature (I imagine for Television?), which starts filming in January.

“Starting sometime in January, Don Bellasario is making the new “Quantum Leap” movie currently using the working sub-title “A Bold Leap Forward”. It’s tipped to start out as a two-hour TV movie with a series to follow pending the movie’s results.

The two hour feature is rumored to have Dean Stockwell (Al) looking for Sam whose leaps they can no longer track. Al finds him but loses him again, so he gets Sam’s daughter to go looking for him. Scott Bakula is tipped to randomly appear throughout the series starting with the movie”.

Another source tells the site that “Sam’s daughter Sammy Jo will be used in the movie. She will be in her late 30’s leaping to find Sam with Al as her guide after finding out that Sam is her father. Sam will be 50 and his daughter will be in her late 30’s, and yes it will still have time travel in it as before.”

I remember a time when I was living in Boca, where I would call up Gray Pumpkin and Katt, to let ’em know the show was coming on. At one point,when I was too broke to have a phone but not quite homeless, I would call from the pay phone at the post office across the street.
