Marley and Me .. Read It Now!

Saw some more movies this week, and also watching the first disc and a half of Lost Season 1 ...

The first thing I will review is "Lost" .. Its quite good, very interesting, very rich ... Excellent show which I want to keep wanting to know about .. I really like the hunter w/ the wheelchair, the hot female criminal, and the big guy ... good show ***1/2 ...

Then there is Waters famous .... "Pink Flamingos" .. John Waters (1972) movie of disgusting things ... It was OK .. ** ... I liked the Waters commentary on the DVD better then the movie itself... I am glad to say I have seen it though, I definitely can't recommend it though ... It was bizarre though.

I have also seen "Good Night and Good Luck" .. It was most deserving of an Oscar nomination for Best Picture, and Best Actor for David Straitharn .... **** .. An excellent movie well worth seeing, I could easily see it as a companion to Miller's "The Crucible" and of discussing 1950s politics, would be an excellent movie to see for students ... It is also quite enjoyable ...

I also resigned from the vacuum gig, the job literally makes me sick, and its time for the next thing .. Unfortunately I think it will be another McJob ...

Wish me luck, its time for me to get fulfilling work .. A much more difficult challenge then we were led to believe in school, or by the "knowledge worker" revolution talked about in Robert Reich's "The Work of Nations" or the late Peter Drucker's "Post-Capitalist Society" ...

I think I just might make the plunge and become an academic .. .also check out my poetry from the last post ..

There is also one more thing I want to review .. the absolutely brilliant book of living with the "Worst Dog in the World" .. Marley and Me ... ***** .. It is absolutely great, if you have ever loved a dog especially ...

Just a warning though, its going to pull at your heartstrings and might make you want a dog again .. If you love dogs, despite how crazy they can be you should most definitely read this at the Library, Bookstore, or borrow it from a friend ...

Its just great ...
