At Home

This is my last day at home w/a cold....hopefully. I'm feeling better. How can I tell I'm feeling better? Here are the signs: I don't need the blinds closed all day, I'm bored w/daytime TV, I can breath, I can taste, I'm feeling bored, bored, bored (it's much more fun to not be at work & do something fun) and....I want to clean my house :-)

Rescued Dog

Got some pictures of the dog I rescued earlier this week. Poor thing was sooooo scared. I saw him walking down the sidewalk, really wanting to see a person walking behind him, but alas, there was none. With the help of some neighbors (didn't know them until now), we got him out from under a car and I took him to our local animal shelter. No tags or name on him/her/it. Cute and friendly dog, and probably even more so after a good bath :-) So here he is, anyone interested in adopting him can all Tri-City Animal Shelter at: 510-790-6644. Once he/she/it got over being scared, he/she/it would lean into my leg and look up at me, as I petted he/she/it.

So, here he/she/it is:

Paul Newman

I woke up to the news that Paul Newman had died yesterday, at the age of 83. Paul Newman dead...there are some people I just expect to always be around. I felt the same about Katherine Hepburn. He was a good actor, gorgeous man and one hell of a philanthropist.

Movie: Definitely, Maybe

Definitely......not. Although Kevin Kline is in it, and I like Kevin Kline. The movie is set around the premise about a dad telling his daughter about how he met her mom. Cute kid, the one from 'Little Miss Sunshine', but my thought is why not just make it a movie about a guy and his life? Why the attempt at a cute hook?

Ok, the movie grew on me a bit more than I had first expected. If you want to see a movie with a bunch of attractive people, that's light and, yes a bit of a cliche, then this is a movie you will enjoy. It's not bad, it's just not really good. Staring: Ryan Reynolds (cutie), Rachel Weisz (beautiful) and that crazy redhead from 'Wedding Crashers' - the one that stalks Vince Vaughn's character, Isla Fisher. I knew she looked familiar, but couldn't place her. She's not a stalker in this film :-) The kid's character even grew on me, although I didn't really "get" their relationship in the beginning.

I would give this movie 3 out of 6 stars. A good, average movie, so I've changed from Definitely, Not, to Definitely, Maybe.....ehh, ehh, cute huh? Even w/a cold, I'm still able to be cheesy.

How Do I Know I Have A Cold?

Well, going through a box of kleenex a day would be a start. Not being able to breath is another. Sneezing in double digits a day. A Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer nose in the mirror. Driving the speed limit or below (I always drive slow when I don't feel well). Spending time and money in the drug section of my local grocery store: Delsym, Mucinex, Advil Cold & Sinus, and throat logenzers I can't remember the name of. Note to self, invest in cold medicine stocks...there is no cure and there will always be colds. Oh and....I went to Blockbuster (even when I've got 3 Netflix movies, but they're the last season of the Wire, and that's too intense and may require more concentration than I'm able to give right now), anyway, back to Blockbuster, I rented 5, count them 5 movies! Hey, I ain't going anywhere this weekend :-) Here is my list of DVD's:

The Bank Job
Definitely, Maybe
Catch and Release
August Rush
Jessie James

I'll let you know how I like each. I also have the second hour of the new Grey's Anatomy season opener to watch. I had to stop right when the icicles falls into Christina's torso.

That's it for today. Send clear and open sinus thoughts my way. I'm going to try and post some pictures from my Dave Matthews concerts, trip to San Diego and San Francisco Chihuly show.
