Still no work...

alexpgpI'm not yet at the point of foam-at-the-mouth paranoia regarding the lack of work so far this year, but I can feel the rumblings beneath the surface.
I felt spunky enough to walk Shiloh to the beach and back, and did so with no strain (except on the leash... something tells me Shiloh would make a great sled dog). We arrived just as the tide was starting to go out, and for a little while, Shiloh seemed intent on dragging me into the water, which would have been a Bad Thing™, both from the point of view of water temperature and the current heading out into the Sound.
I just finished watching Kurosawa's Sanjuro (Galina having fallen asleep), and enjoyed it. There is something to be said for the ability to get DVDs of non-mainstream movies from Netflix, but I'm not sure the game is worth the candle. I still have a few days to go before my free two weeks are up, though.
Normal television is becoming very nearly unbearable to watch. Earlier, Galina was flipping among her favorite "entertainment news" shows and one of them featured - go figure - a segment with Hillary Clinton. When the "interviewer" asked the Senator whether the latter had felt "betrayed by women" in the recent Iowa caucus, I almost cried out in pain at the unwarranted assumptions engendered by such a question. I am afraid, however, that there's going to be a lot more of this kind of crap spewed onto the public airwaves before all of it is over.
Cheers...

"Hm ... but there aren't any other papers."
"That's what I mean, don't read newspapers. You know that I set up thirty experiments in the clinic. And what do you think? The patients who read no newspapers felt fine. The ones whom I especially ordered to read Pravda lost weight..."
