the last nail in the coffin
I’ve been a regular at Hollywood Video for over a year now, running in to pick up a couple movies every Friday night before work. Problem is, my taste in movies tends to run towards the semi-obscure, and I cleaned out Hollywood’s limited special interest/foreign section awhile ago.
But the kicker this weekend was when I went in looking for two mainstream movies: Love Actually (for myself) and Spongbob Squarepants: The Movie (for the little sis). Looked and looked and couldn’t find either of them. So I tracked down an employee…
“Where would I find Love Actually? I’ve already looked under Comedy…”
“Did you look under ‘Drama’?”
“Yup, and I didn’t see it there.”
“I don’t know if we have it.”
“Don’t have it in at the moment, or don’t have it in stock?”
“No, I’m pretty sure we don’t have it at all.”
“Oh…okay. Well, I was looking for the Spongebob Squarepants movie as well.”
“That’s under ‘Kids’.”
“Yeah, I checked and I didn’t see it.”
“Looked under ‘New Releases’, too?”
“Yup.”
“Well, if it’s not there, we don’t have it.”
“Don’t have it…at all?”
“Nope.”
“Um, okay. Thanks.”
So I picked up FF7 for the kidlet and, while looking for Love Actually, found Gosford Park for myself. Stephen and I watched it last night, excellent movie.
And I went home that day and signed up for Netflix. Had three movies shipped on Monday and were in my mailbox by Tuesday morning: Ladies in Lavender, Starter for 10, and yes, Spongebob Squarepants: The Movie.
I’m sorry, Hollywood, but I needed someone who could meet my needs. You understand…
the kittens turned three a couple weeks ago
And I did what any good mother would do: gave them a bit o’ the nip.
There’s the initial buzz.
Sibling rivalries melt away.
But not everyone is willing to share…
PJ starts to feel a little left out…
…so he finds the bag that the toys came in (naughty boy)
but mom, it’s sooo good 
field school: Old Nemaska cont’d.
And now for an update containing nothing more than cute, cute and more cute. Otherwise known as kids and pets…
“Is this your dog?”
“Yup.”
“What’s his name?”
“Big dog.”
“Yup.”
“What’s his name?”
“Big dog.”
Dogs this small are somewhat rare in the Cree communities, at risk of freezing to death in the winter or being carried off by larger animals. This little one belonged to an elder woman, and had a bit of a Napoleon complex.
“Whatcha drinkin’?
“Pop.”
“Do you like pop?”
“Yup.”
“Want to see what color your tongue is?”
“Yup.”
Did you see that fish? He was right there…
