This was a John Wayne movie–one of Brian’s favorites, so we watched it last night. I’m not typically a fan of old movies (I can barely rewatch stuff from the 80s let alone something from 1948), but I guess it was ok for what it was. Some of the dialog was pretty corny, though.
frankenstein: dead and alive
This was the 3rd book in Dean Koontz’s Frankenstein series. Like the previous two, this one ended on a cliff-hanger. It was fine, but I’ve come to the conclusion that Dean Koontz is a weirdo.
There was one character in the book, a troll-like creature named Jocko, who reminded me of Dobby the House Elf from the Harry Potter books. I kind of liked him.
I have the next book in the series in my possession, so I’ll probably read it soon, but not until I get caught up on the stack of magazines waiting for me on the coffee table (and probably not until I read another book or two).
My rating: 3.5/5
surgery
Alice had her surgery today and did well with it. Brian’s picking her up right now. The vet did say that she was not able to get all of it, so it will likely recur. Will this buy us enough time? I guess we’ll find out.
iron man 3
Almost forgot about this one…
Much like the other Iron Man movies, this was worth the watch–it had some spectacular special effects. Strangely, this is the only movie series about superheroes that I enjoy–probably because of the witty dialog (the others tend to take themselves too seriously). At any rate, I’m about good on this series, though I’m sure if they release another sequel, I’ll watch it.
My rating: 3.5/5
lip service
I took Alice to see the vet this morning for her lip problem and the vet says that the growth needs to be removed, so Alice is going to have surgery this Friday. Of course, since it came back, that’s not a good sign and they are less likely to get a clear margin this time than the last, but it’s too large to let go, so what can you do?
