nightdog_barksBut it's unclear if we'll get anything -- rain, sleet, or snow -- out of it. It was so bright and sunny this morning, and now it's just ... dark. I refilled both bird feeders and hung a third suet basket; Layla helped by running around and barking at things. She was three years old last November, and I noticed the other day that she's finally starting to fill out a little in the chest and look more like a Black Lab (according to her DNA test, she's half Golden Retriever).
Watched The Fate of the Furious on HBO the other night, and omg it is big and dumb and noisy. I do like seeing Jason Statham, though, and it was a nice surprise to see Helen Mirren (!) pop up in an unexpected guest role. :D
Currently reading Ashley Hay's The Body in the Clouds, which is about the building of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and which reminds me quite a bit of a David Mitchell novel (something like Ghostwritten or Cloud Atlas), because it follows the intersections of three characters throughout different periods in time. I will probably finish it tonight -- not sure what's next up.
Good football yesterday ... we would've liked to have seen New Orleans win, but oh well. I was telling friends later that I was lying awake last night thinking about Why I Don't Like Some Football Teams, and the list was like -- this team has a rapist QB, that team has a psychotic narcissist owner, this other team has a rapist QB, that team over there's owner is a big buddy of Potatohead McBumblefuck ... UGH THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS. :D
