Guess, I better get up and get ready for the world. Have been typing at the computer and chasing dogs all morning. Have a "teacup" yorkie and a chocolate lab. Problem is lab can open the door from the outside and does so when she gets tired of being outside and when she does that the other dog goes outside and usually without me noticing which puts me in a panic. We supposedly have coyotes here and they like nothing better than to make a snack out of a little dog. So I spend a bit of my time chasing dogs. Neighbors probably love it, when I'm out there in my PJs with dishevelled hair chasing my dog. Not worried about the big dog. She is about 85 pounds. Coyotes might get a mean surprise, if they tried to tackle her, but I don't know, she is a very sweet dog and funny to see her and the little dog together. The tiny dog is the alpha and she gets after the big one who tolerates it very well. Kinda like a gnat after an elephant. My apologies for anecdotes from mundane life. Probably so loquacious because wife is gone.

No, not really about the hair. That was poetic license., but what I have was dishevelled. Which probably makes it worse for the neighbors who saw me. Also, hadn't shaved and was in flip flops. What an appealing sight all that must have been. Actually, they're probably used to it by now. Pretty common occurence around here. They're probably glad I'm not chasing them down the street which I sometimes have to do when they get out of my fenced yard.

Internet says "les Mis" coming out around Christmas time. Have to add that one to my list along with Lincoln. Anne Hathaway supposed to be terrific in it. Didn't even know she could sing. Probably should have. Some people blessed with endless talent. Saw Les Mis in Las Vegas. Really good show.

No, didn't see Bourne Legacy. Last thing I saw him in was the newer version of True Grit which I enjoyed very much. I guess the last thing I watched recently was Hunger Games which I rented on my kindle. Can't remember when I actually went to the movie theater to watch a movie. Usually just rent them and watch on kindle especially, if I'm going somewhere like Vegas. Just download them and watch them on the plane.

I think the last couple of movies that I saw that I really liked were George Clooney in The Descendants and Brad Pitt in Money Ball. I sometimes get on some strange kicks with movies. For a while, I was watching a lot of sub-titled foreign movies like The Kite Runner and the Stieg Larsson trilogy The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo, etc. Read those books also. Saw a very intense movie titled The Stoning of Saraya M that was absolutely haunting. Iranian director I think and some Iranian American actors. Not sure where it was made, but it was a courageous movie about the horrifying practice in some muslim countries of stoning for infidelity.
