Just finished giving the dogs a bath. Let them out to dry a bit in the sun and when I came back 5 min. later Tess had been rolling in the dirt. Back to the bath tub for you Tessie!

Tonight my 60lb dog has decided to be a lap dog.

So I had my interview with the Ministry of Culture. It went well. Now I wait!

Ever since the rabbit incident in the backyard, my dog Tilly has become obsessed. She now barks at the TV everytime the Cadbury Easter Egg Bunny commercial is on. KOOKY Dog! :)

The radiator on my car "blew" today...another $450 down the drain.

o.k. I did it....gulp....I applied for a big job with the Ministry of Culture.

Barney's Version

Saw the movie Barney's Version tonight.  Wow, it was really, really good!!!

Paul Giamatti plays Barney and deserves an Oscar.  Dustin Hoffman plays his father and was excellent too!

It is based on the novel of the same name by Canadian author Mordecai Richler.

It tells the life story of Barney Panofsky (Paul Giamatti).  He is an ordinary man, he drinks too much, smokes cigars, likes hockey, and was married 3 times.  In his later years he is the subject of a book that implicates him in the murder of his best friend who mysteriously disappeared years earlier.   So this is his opportunity to tell his "version." Through flashbacks we discover the highs and lows of his life -  his marriages, his one true love, his mistakes, his regrets and finally, we discover the truth about what happened to his friend.
