TROLL!!
last night's netflix include a movie called "troll hunter". it's a mockumentary (ala 'Blair witch project' with shaky cam, and all). I liked it! of course, it's a chore reading subtitles (it being a movie in the native Norwegian language). the special effects were pretty good! then I watch a real documentary about the absurdities of how all we have to do to support our troops in Iraq is buy a ribbon shaped bumper sticker saying "we support our troops", then apply that on the bumper of a gas guzzling SUV (an older movie, but with many fine points about how we used to sacrifice for the war effort, and now, nothing...). I do like me a good documentary showing how lazy, wasteful, and fat we Amerikans have become
.up this morning at 6, burnt some coffee, take us a cool, early morning foggy walk (this time with sandals on). today is my Sunday. I'll wind my weekend down and get ready for another exciting stint (at you know where
) starting tomorrow...and speaking of the stalag, we were supposed to find out, during a plant update last Monday, when (and if) we start 8 hour days. I took that day off so I have no idea what's up. Mark (co-worker) told me he'd facebook me with info if/when he finds out. he hasn't yet. I'm dying to know! I'll find tomorrow (if he doesn't facebook me today). anyway, gotta hit the shower, and start my today.later: I make a quick email to my bank, the loan officer wrote me back real fast with details of a loan in the amount I want with a couple options. I call her up, we talk bidness, and she sets up a 3 o'clock appointment for me today, to sign the dotted line, and walk out of there with a gob o' Amerikano pesos to help the Kid to get out of his mom's iron grasp

just now, a sneeze attack provokes the dog to growl at me. it's silly! I don't know if she takes my sneezes as a threat? or she growls because she doesn't understand? I asked the previous owner (way back when) if she did that with her, she said she didn't know, not having been prone to sneeze attacks, so I assume it's just the little dogs way of saying "i don't understand that human command...it sounds like you're yelling at me". of course, I'm only speculating. I can't reach thru those cataract fogged eyes and read that dusty poodle brain of hers. she sure is a good dog though! I simply reassure her that it's maybe sand fleas in my sinus cabbages, and give her a good neck rub
. soon my sneezing subsides, and she turns the growl machine off. it's cute!
