Click images for desktop size: "Donalds Golf Game" by Carl Barks I got paid today.
I have enough for rent, the vet and my meds.
I think that's cool.
I even have enough for food for me and my puppy. And Puppy treats!
That's even cooler.
And I have a day off tomorrow.
Life is meant for this.
I spent a dollar on a DVD. A double feature DVD: Wild Guitar, which is a goofy film starring Arch Obler Jr, directed by his dad. It's interesting because in a few years, this baby faced actor with the big hair would turn in one of the all time great performances in James Landis' "The Sadist".
Here the music is a joke, the guitar is not too wild but it's diverting enough and fun.
The other flic was awesome. "The Beatnicks"
It's not a great movie but it has a lot of energy, a bad plot, some incandescent cinematography and it was directed by the guy who gave Bullwinkle J Moose his voice!
But it also has Peter Breck. How Breck was not a superstar and ended up on a TV show is beyond me.
Here he's not quite brilliant but moving there. He plays the hot cool sexy psychotic killer, who is there because a hot cool sexy psychotic killer is the best way to have some plot when you've no other ideas.
He's not held in check so sometimes he's too much, but most of the time there's a talent there that goes beyond the hair and profile and into dementia.
Sam Fuller exploited that veneer. Breck should have gotten an Oscar 4 years after this flic for his stunning work in one of the all time great films, "Shock Corridor". The genius Breck displayed there is hinted at here.
I liked it plenty.
I also was given a glass table that I'm using for the TV stand in my room. Yes, my house has devolved into a room and a yard. That's okay. My puppy and I like the yard and we can survive in the room.
My room still feels sparse, which I like, but is now pretty livable. Not perfect, but livable.
It has the lightness and ease that I like. It feels open and a room where you can play with your puppy and then think big thoughts . . . I'm not sure about what but big big thoughts nonetheless.
Tomorrow I get a mini-evaluation and pick up my drugs. My puppy gets another class in her therapy dog training.
The training is helping her feel better about herself.
Thought some about football today. It's a great game.
I've been offered a position at one of the high schools for next season. As a volunteer. I have a debt to pay and I can't accept money for working with kids - ever. They have some good kids.
Football is a great game. Nowadays most people watch it and forget the humanity behind it. They see it as a giant video game and forget the pain, the preparation.
When I look at young people playing sports I see so much in them, so much that is positive and needing direction. It humbles me because I know there's not much I can offer them but some guidance, some support and some respect . . . and drills, lots and lots of bone wearying drills. After a season we'll stand as champions, win or lose my players always know they are champions.

Click images for desktop size: "Cry For Dawn" With a little bit of luck I'll have this site moved to Movable Type 3.2 by this weekend. It takes some time as I like the way it looks and I'm trying to get the same look in Movable Type.
I'm not good at that stuff so it's a struggle for me, particularly as Movable Type changed the whole way they handle css now.
I guess it's better. Everyone says it's better, so who am I to disagree. It's just more confusing for me.
Movable Type is more secure than WordPress, I think. It gives a tighter sense of control over the look and feel of itself.
I expect to be a bit happier about things.
And the RSS feeds are definitely better. I'm a big advocate of RSS.
