• I finally saw Wall-E. I hated it, so I won’t discuss it.
• I have noticed I spend a million more hours in my office now that we don’t have cable. And when I edit, I like to listen to things, like movies I know by heart or shitty TV shows care of Hulu. So, in the last 2 weeks I think I’ve listened to “Singing in the Rain” and “Gigi” at least 4 times each.
• When David and I went to the coast, I found a walking stick. It was a bleached, smooth, hip high stick I used to navigate the dunes at Cannon Beach. I left it in the fucking hotel room. On top of that, my pictures did not come out very good this time. I had the camera on auto because I was busy playing with the dog. Lazy, I know. So many of the photos need some correction, but I will post them when I’m through.
• My beagles love the beach. Pip loves chasing gulls, and just running to run. He kind of runs around us in a big circle, head back, ears bouncing. Puck, on the other hand, was still an asshole and tried to sniff out other dogs and didn’t listen to us when we told him to return. He spent much of that time on the leash, the little shit.
• David’s birthday went off without a hitch. Okay, one hitch. I decided to cross this “stream.” It was ocean water running from an inlet, and about knee deep. But across the stream was a big swath of land that got closer to some neat rock formations and had a clearer view of the lighthouse. My dogs aren’t water dogs, but Pip, seeing that I had crossed, dove into the water without thinking. Until he realized he was about to go under. He didn’t swim. He just stood in the middle of this running water, looking at me like I was nuts. We tried to get the dogs across, but then Puck lost his collar. And when we got back to the hotel, I realized I’d only packed 1 pair of jeans. Dinner was room service.
• I am now working with a press. I am going to name the press on the more professional blog (my whole name, not hard to figure out). This will be more of a place where I bitch about things. But I won’t call authors out here. While I may have difficulties and opinions, I am still going to conduct myself in a professional manner.
• And now, I am going to watch Battlestar with the hubbie.
