Sorry I didn’t blog last night, I ended up staying up rather late watching the original “Ocean’s 11.” I rented it last week and it was due today, so I thought I’d better watch it before I racked up a late fee. I enjoyed it, it was my first complete Rat Pack movie (fitting, since it was their first as well.) I just love Frank Sinatra, he was perfect as Danny Ocean (much better than George Clooney.) It was great to watch, despite still loving the newer version. The stories were delightfully different enough that it was still entertaining. And the ending was a shock. I wasn’t sure if I liked it or not, but now that I’ve had a long think about it, I like it. It’s more moralistic than the new one, that whole bit about how crime doesn’t pay, etc.
You should go rent it. Even if for no other reason than to hear that great number by Sammy Davis, Jr. I *loved* that and it’s been stuck in my head ever since. He was such a cute little guy, perfect in the movie.
Something extremely strange happened as I was sleeping. I had a lovely dream that I was moving to England for school, and I ended up spending a day with Alastair. Normal stuff, going out to eat, watching tLoG. Nice dream and all, but when I went to check my mail this morning there was an email from him. I haven’t heard from him in a while, and yet there it was. Weird coincidence, eh? (To find out what the email was about, go here. But, um, same rules about the artist I found. It’s, erm, mildly suggestive, but really really funny.)
I spent the afternoon over at Jen’s house (Kevin’s wife), painting a tree in her guestroom. She’s doing a garden theme, so I started a mural for her. The tree turned out okay, except my arm got really sore so I didn’t get to make it as complicate as I wanted it to be. I don’t think staying up *that* late is good for me. I always end up tired and sore the next day.
And now I’m out of things to blog about, even though I know there was some funny story I wanted to tell you all, but I’ve forgotten it, so oh well. We can all just deal with it. So there. 😛
