A Good Day
posted by Gavin | 8:45 PM
Saturday was great for three reasons.
First, Jen's birthday party. Four cars, five dogs, and ten people (Becca, Sarah, Jose, Buzz, Debbie, Troy, Val, and not-so-little Tayne) convoyed down to Bolivar. It was a popular trip when we were co-ops but I don't think we had been back since. It was a cloudy, windy Saturday and so we pretty much had the beach to ourselves. The dogs ran free, Tayne went swimming, and everyone pretty much had fun.
Second, A&M won against Missouri! We watched the first 15 minutes of the game, it looked like it was going to be good. I had just been commenting to Sarah and Rich on Friday that I thought A&M might be ranked this year (much to their amusement) and, viola, now they are.
Finally, after we got home late in the evening, Jen gave the dogs a bath while I drove to the store to grab some dogfood. While I was there I grabbed some donuts and, on a whim, wandered past the DVD section. For months, nay, years, I've been asking for the original Gojira on DVD. In 1954 Japan made perhaps the greatest of all monster movies, considered by many to be a cinematic masterpiece, later to be re-edited and released in the US as Godzilla. But the original Japanese version, with subtitles, has never been available in the US. UNTIL NOW! There it was on the shelf, a sleek looking box with 2 movies, both the original Japanese and American versions of my favorite monster of all time! Naturally, I bought it. I've been grinning about it ever since. It's sitting next to my keyboard at the moment.
Gojira party at our place soon.
