When the Westminster Dog Show rolls around every year, I can’t help but think what life would have been like if I trained Elliot to be a show dog.
I think he may have had some problems doing so because of some white markings he has… and that may disqualify him from being a “true” breed.
He however brings me delight like no other.
The Notebook
Over the weekend, ABC Family broadcasted a movie I’ve heard a lot about but never got around to seeing, The Notebook.
What I didn’t know about the movie was that Ryan Gosling was in it.
Aside the guff I’ll get for admitting I watched this movie, it was actually worth the viewing.
Movie 43 / 365
Random fortune….
Siri vs Scotland
Tuned in to the Grammy’s in hopes of catching something memorable… turned out to be a snooze fest
Accepted
Squeezed in a viewing of Accepted, while it was on Comedy Central this morning. Not sure how I haven’t gone out of my way to actually own this movie. I’ve seen it enough times to warrant the purchase of it. It also continues to make me laugh despite knowing every punchline…
Movie 42/365
Brushin’ the teeth before bed… Lite-Brite lamp may possibly be one of my most treasured possessions.
Four Lions
Got around to finally watching Four Lions last night… a movie (comedy) about 4 Muslim men who have decided to become suicide bombers.
The film is a little slow at parts and I found myself not really relating to the subject matter in any way and found few laughs all the way through.
My guess is that if someone made a satirical movie about the Mexican drug war - I would find it funny and Brits would be left scratching their head.
Courageous movie nonetheless tho’
Movie 41/365
Finally made it out to CBQ, just north of San Antonio… the place is owned by a local radio guy who works for a classic rock radio station.
The place has lots of rock memorabilia and they make specialty burgers, bbq and steak sammiches.
I had one called the Selma Speed Trap, which consisted of an 8oz ground patty, chicken fried bacon and a fried egg.
The Way of the Gun
If you’re a guy and it’s been years since you’ve seen a great “guy movie” - do yourself a favor and watch “The Way of the Gun”.
The movie is a “kidnap” or “heist” film of sorts… Benicio del Toro and Ryan Phillippe kidnap Juliette Lewis who is the surrogate mother of a rich married couple.
The film turns into a 2 hour long stand off of sorts… and it kinda plays out like a modern western. Dialogue is kinda sparse but not in a bad way.
Movie 40/365
