sideways elektra

Close-up of cottage ice, taken last month.

This bug I caught at FKO seems to trying to hang on with all its nasty little pestilent feet; I spent most of the weekend with the left side of my head plugged up, hugging a box of Kleenex. Finally seem to be shaking it, but I have a lot of catching up to do in writing and e-mail, hence the dearth of Blatherings.

Dragged myself out of bed yesterday because I was desperate for fresh air (when we move into our new house, I'll be able to go sit on OUR BACK DECK), rented Sideways and Elektra from Rogers Video down the street.

I enjoyed Sideways but found it a bit grim. Well, grim's not quite the right word; I'd rather not go into details for fear of spoilers. I can definitely see why the movie boosted California wine sales! And I'm in love with Sandra Oh.

As for Elektra...well, I'm still struggling to finish the movie before I have to return it. Yes, I had read the absymal reviews but I'm WEAK and COULD NOT RESIST (I'm a fan of the Elektra: Assassin series by Frank Miller and Bill Sienkiewicz). I liked Jennifer Garner much better in that Big copycat flick whose name currently escapes me; in Elektra, she just seems to be scowling all the time.

Thanks so much to David and Kathleen for the nose flutes!

42 days until we get possession of our new house.
