attack!

we walked by the lilac house in the dark. the retriever that lives there was not pleased. came charging out barking. full volume. the worst attack animal on record. it spun in circles. barking. and the circle tightened. and the barking didn't slack. could have robbed his mammy ten times over. instead i stood in the street paralyzed with laughter. doubled. until the sister tugged me away. also laughing.

washing the car this evening and the starlings crowded around. thirsty. a cat had one and i gave chase. if starlings are shrill otherwise. well. vomitted from fear. i removed the matter. let it go behind the shed. flew away.

movies from the library. to kill a mockingbird makes me bawl. watched something chikamatsu. not the love suicides but something tragic anyway. he kissed her ankle. that was remarkable. holding hands until the crucifixion. and moulin rouge because i like musicals. i really do.

now listening: dirty dream #2-- belle and sebastian

folding dinosaurs is luverly. luverly!
