Pamela Anderson has been on my radar recently mostly because she no longer wears makeup (that’s very newsworthy, you know?). This show popped up on Hulu, so I figured I’d give it a go. I used to love watching home improvement shows on HGTV back when I had it. On this show, Pamela fixes up a property she purchased from her grandparents decades ago. It’s located on Vancouver Island, which is where she’s from. Somehow, they squeezed in the renovation of her sons’ property in Los Angeles, too. It was nice looking at all of the pretty things. The show was a little weird in that a bunch of things were done in the first season and then they were redone in the second season. But I guess that’s how that goes when you have a lot of money.
the killer
This was a pretty good movie about an assassin who had a failed mission and was then targeted to be assassinated. But, instead, his girlfriend gets roughed up, so he goes on a mission to kill the assassins who were sent for him. Tilda Swinton played one of them and she always makes things interesting. For a movie about assassins (I’m trying to see how many times I can use that word in this review), it was pretty light on action except for one extended and realistic fight scene.
My rating: 3.5/5
the waiting game
I found part of a dog tooth on the floor the other day. It was Ralphie’s, of course. Enough was broken off so that the pulp was exposed so I called the vet to find out how they want to handle this since he has to be sedated for any procedure. The receptionist had to check with the vet and she just called me back. He’s been put on the surgery waitlist because he will need to be under general anesthesia to be examined. When he’s sedated for his vet appointments, he’s not totally out and has to be muzzled. So, that’s why that won’t work. It doesn’t seem to be bothering him at the moment, so I need to keep an eye on it. Otherwise, they’re going to call me back to schedule a time to pull the tooth. It probably won’t be for a month or so. Stay tuned for pupdates.
a real pain
This movie was about two cousins who go on an organized tour of Poland in memory of their recently deceased grandmother. It was quite a “good story”. I’ve been seeing Kieran Culkin (one of the cousins) in a lot of things recently and I’m really starting to like him as an actor.
My rating: 4/5
ralphie saves the day!
I was painting the downstairs bathroom this afternoon when I heard Ralphie barking his “urgent” bark (anyone who has dogs knows what I mean–they have different barks for different situations). I went upstairs to see what was going on and the front door was open and Tilly was gone. The door must not have latched after I brought the dogs in from their walk and the wind must have blown it open. I figured she couldn’t have gotten far, so I grabbed my coat and keys and was planning on driving around the neighborhood to look for her. When I got to the end of the sidewalk, I saw her in the neighbor’s driveway, so I called her over and that was that. Good thing Ralphie was on duty. Any other dog I’ve owned in the past would have run right out the door, but he was seriously upset about the situation. Good dog!
