Did I mention that Abu passed grade 1? Well she did. Or, I should say, we did. Indeed, obedience school is all about training humans, and I would have taken it as a personal failure if we hadn't passed.

Just finished watching Garden State. I really like that movie, with the exception of a couple tasteless moments. I like the soundtrack and I like something else about it which I can't put my finger on. It approaches depth and intimacy and skims over some other ideas.

While I'm on the subject of movies, I enjoyed 'I "heart" Huckabees' the other day, again, aside from one brief scene. It's such a completely wacky movie, but somewhere in all the bizarre rhetoric it does a really good job of communicating..... something. It's got an almost childlike, vulnerable feel to it, and yet there are no children. Features Dustin Hoffman, Lily Tomlin, and Jude Law, all doing excellent work.

I have to say I've been missing Angelina Jolie...... Think I'm gonna pick up Mr. & Mrs. Smith this weekend. I deserve it.

I was talking with one of the humans at the park today, and he was saying how frustrating it is when people ask him what's new. Every day's the same, simple, and he likes it that way. It's the same with me. Nothing big is happening, life goes on day in and day out. That's okay. Too much drama's not good.
