No Country for Old Men

WTH???  We borrowed this movie from Mom.  DANG but it's brutal.  Total guy-flick.  I was squirming and fidgeting and freaking out for 2 hours.  I did NOT like it, but I know it's a good film.  Kevin loved it.  Crimeny, but it freaked me out.

I also want to know how long it took for Dad to know what the air-tank weapon was.  I bet he figured it out long before it was revealed in the movie.  I'm just sayin'.  Also, here is a spoiler, so skip this if you haven't seen the movie, the main character deserved to die.  Anyone who can walk up on that mess and walk away like that is NOT human!

OK, I'm over it, I think.  Actually, it may take a while to "get over" that movie.  Sheesh.  I'm having flashbacks to Silence of the Lambs.  It left the same feeling.  I'm getting goose bumps typing about it.  So it's done.

Monica is spending the night at a friends house.  Tomorrow, after she gets home, we'll head to KC to stalk our favorite radio station.  We have plans to take a treat to them.  They are so good to us, with concert tickets and such, they deserve a treat.  Plus, the girls want to do something special tomorrow.

We bought some shoes yesterday, so there are 3 shoe boxes, one Diet Coke box, and a shopping bag, just lying on the floor.  Are we lazy?  Yeah, but that's not why those items are lying around.  It is SO fun to watch the cats with boxes and bags to play in/with.  They seem to think that each box is a new world to explore.

OK, I'm out.  Tomorrow will be a great day.  Then, I leave town on Tuesday afternoon.  I'll be home Wednesday night.  I think I get to choose the hotel this time, which means I'll have Internet.  PHEW!  Don't ever go to Vegas if you want in-room coffee, free Internet, or anything else that keeps you in the room.  They want  you downstairs, GAMBLING!  Too bad for them I only spent $25 on the evil penny slots.

Have a great night, my friends.  I love you, and I miss checking up on you when I'm gone.  I don't apologize for missing an entry, or a chance to comment, but please know that I'm more comfortable and "at home" when I can check my favorites daily.  Plus, my feet don't hurt as a result of checking journals, like they do as a result of working a trade show in Vegas!

Oh, and can I take this moment to say how relieved I am that my parents aren't selling my childhood home?  I was stressing that one!  I'll help haul hay, and I'll take care of horses while you're away, and I may even quit griping when you're gone on the bike for a couple of days.  No guarantees, though.  LOL

Good night, friends.

Thanks for the warning about the movie.  Hate the "Silence of the Lambs" feeling!
I, too, am very glad they aren't selling the place.  It feels like home to me through her journal.

I haven't seen that movie yet.  I just finished reading Water for Elephants.  That would make a great movie.  Enjoy Vegas.  Linda

Well, I am not watching that movie!. I resisted Silence of the Lambs too!  I am very surprised that we saw no pictures from Vegas which is a great place to people watch. You must have been very busy!

I don't watch movies like that for just that reason.  Too much info for my little brain to comprehend!
