Movies: Love Actually

Love Actually has quite a cast. So if you enjoy all these actors in and of themselves, definitely worth seeing.

( But. A bit spoilerish )

Movies: Unconditional Love

Unconditional Love is the best film I've seen this week.

I liked Love Actually quite a bit in the theatre, then rented and enjoyed a vacuous two hours unashamedly ogling Angelina Jolie (for the second time, I actually paid to see it in the theatre as well) in the horribly badly written Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life, and then slothed my way through two pointless hours watching the awful Keanu Reeves flick, Hard Ball.

Last into the DVD player was Unconditional Love, and we definitely saved the best for last.

( My favorite film of the week. )

Yodelling for Cats

We used to think that our cats just responded to low-voiced singing, as if, during those first six weeks of life before they met us, they had been around some drunken men.

So we would sing, "Oh Give Me a Home, Where the Buffalo Roam ..." and "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" and whatnot, and they would come running and lick our faces and try to stuff their snouts into our open, singing mouths (what we call "snouting").

Today, we sang the yodel from the beginning of "Raising Arizona". This is a very high-pitched song, unlike the other songs.

They went WILD. They jumped on us and licked our faces, as always, but much more quickly after hearing the first notes. They bit (love nibbles) our legs and scalps. They LOVED it.

So I guess they like long notes.
