Sep. 4th, 2004 07:16 pmSo. After I wrote up my nice letter about the left-behind dog, I find out from my brother Roy that my idiot father, my PARENTAL UNIT, one of the people who held me to a higher moral standard during my formative years so that I'm now fucked up and permanently straight-arrow in all sorts of problematic ways that make my life difficult -- my father, who was there mowing the grass at the building, left the door open on purpose so that the dog could "escape" by "accident". Dad? I'm disappointed in you. That was not the right thing to do. I thought you were better than that.
*sigh*
On the white grapes, the juice, combined with olive oil, two smashed garlic cloves, salt, pepper, and a touch of red wine vinegar, makes as tasty a salad dressing as I've had in years. It has also precipitated solid sugars since being put in the fridge. This is more fun than I thought it would be.
I didn't do much of anything today. I went over to La's, ostensibly to go play horse, but decided not to do that because I felt crappy and because fifteen million clueless people would be going along to the playing horse thing and I don't like clueless people much.
La and I stayed home and watched movies, notably Holes (pretty damn fun movie, book also highly entertaining) and Devil's Advocate. I discovered that I like Al Pacino as Satan. (I also like him as a gangster like in Godfather.) Also, chalk another up for Keanu Reeves in his unbroken string of leaving me cold in every sex scene I've ever seen him in, including the ones from Matrix episodes. Hell, look at him in Dangerous Liaisons... he made Uma Thurman look un-hot. Now that, I gotta say, takes some effort. Anyway. I'm not sure what the deal is, but Keanu is in no way hot and watching him in movie sex scenes is painful. Ick.
La sent me home with The Scorpion King, a movie starring pro wrestler guy The Rock, who probably is a pretty fun guy in real life. He sounds reasonably intelligent in the extras, anyway. However, the high point of the film, from my perspective, was Kelly Hu, a bit o' fluff who was delectably half-nekked throughout. While this experience was an hour and a half of my life that I'll never get back, an experience made measurably worse by egregiously bad CG ants, I am not particularly unhappy because Kelly Hu looks pretty damn good running around in gauze. She was a delight to watch.
