That’s the only time he’ll jump into the bed with me. When he’s needy and upset. This time it was because the man of the house was gone. It took 2 1/2 weeks of him being gone before he would jump into bed.
Milo’s on the lookout though, now that he knows he can see out the window.
We’re enjoying summer again here in San Jose. 80 degrees and sunny, sunny, sunny. This is the first time I’ve been to King’s Head and not been cold, and the first time I’ve been and played pool (I didn’t win not one game).
This past Saturday was my Mom’s birthday, so in traditional fashion, we celebrated all weekend long, starting Friday night in Campbell.
Saturday we blissed out in SF and wandered up to Union Square and the new Westfield Shopping Centre. I didn’t realize it was new at the time, I just remembered I had heard a lot about it on the news (obviously not letting any of it sink in) and thought we should check it out.
Sunday was spent in Sausalito, enjoying the fall weather, wrapped in a scarf and jacket. I’m not sure how we can spend so long in such a small area, but we always manage to kill a lot of time here. As we rested waterfront, we watched a guy stack stones, large ones on small ones, unbelievable…
And Monday — well Monday was more shopping. At home this time, in San Jose. Then the celebration was over, as the fam climbed back aboard the plane to head back to Tennessee. A pretty uneventful but enjoyable weekend. It’s nice to slow down and take a break from life.
I’m not sure how I would feel about a fish watching me while I eat caviar and sashimi. Would he be judging me? I see you eating my brothers!! What possesses someone to even come up with such a display? And wonder how long these fish live? How many times a day do they witness their own being eaten? Is he traumatized by this? What if he ends up belly up by the end of the meal? Do I just eat him too? Is he served to the next customer? Or is he supposed to be uber-fresh sashimi, slippery-slidy down my throat?
I stumbled upon this entree on Tsar Nicoulai Caviar’s website. I probably would order this, though. 1) Just to see if I can answer my questions above, and 2) I love ahi tuna sashimi and, 3) Ginger Infused Whitefish Caviar sounds delicious.
It was another movie night for me, with another classic – The Wizard of Oz. I love the movie, and I love the book. I just wish they had put the china-land into the movie. If I ever continue with the postcards series, that will be the next image.
Again, as I watched the movie, I couldn’t help but think how it would have been so different today. I guess I just wonder if any of the movies that are made today will become classics. I doubt it – very few at least.
If The Wizard of Oz were made today, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Lion couldn’t have just gotten along. One of them would have had to be the outcast that the others made smarmy comments to. Toto would have worn a t-shirt with “Bitch” on it, or some other tongue-and-cheek saying. Instead of the opening scene in Oz being plastic flowers and painted backgrounds, it would have been a multi-million dollar background complete with computer-generated effects, that in the end would have been the focus instead of leaving it on Judy Garland. And munchkins — well, that would have been politically incorrect or insensitive I’m sure. I’m not sure how that would have changed, but I’m sure it would have.
Sometimes simpler is better.
