The Rest

[talktooloose]

This weekend was particularly restful and necessary. I worked myself up into quite a stressed out tizzy last week. Work was busy, I was having trouble writing and I'm not sure what all else, but by Thursday, I was a mess and I didn't know how to reset myself.

Friday, Snake and I both felt like we were coming down with a cold that's been going around so we descended into major hibernation mode. We spent a lot of hours in front of the TV watching our way through the first four movies of Michael Apted's Up series which is as addictive as crack. WARNING: even I had to avoid the spoilers on the linked Wiki page.

I would like to blog later about a very disturbing effect one of the stories in the series has been having on me and what that reveals about my own insecurities. This is not surprising in that it's a series that absolutely calls for viewer projection. Interesting stuff.

On Sunday, Klondike had a playdate with a 4 month old bull mastiff pup who is already the same weight as he is (and will more than double him in weight within a five months). Below the cut are many pictures of doggy cuteness in the snow.



By last night, I was feeling human again. Nothing like rest, good movies and fresh air to fix the brain. I would be starting the week firing on all cylinders if we hadn't stayed up to watch the whole fucking Oscars ceremony. Idiots.

Heeheehee. I thought of you when they brought out a corgi along with the costumes from the movie about the queen mum (amazingly, the costume bit was really the only part of the Schloscars that I caught, and that was by accident!)

BTW, you've double-posted, darling.

Thank you. Second post gone.

Heh, the corgi was all WTF? up on stage.

Ginger is Andrew and Fleur's dog, btw.

Yeah, the dog totally show the show XD

No kidding! I've seen a mastiff a bit older than that one, and those pups get MASSIVE.
