It's not raining?
Jun. 9th, 2008 11:38 pmSeems to have stopped, perhaps we'll get a dry day or two, though more is predicted for Thursday.
Finished the guild newsletter, thank goodness.
And we watched City Slickers, which neither of us had seen before. I decided to get it at the library and watch because there are so many references to it in McKinley's Coyote River comics. It wasn't bad, actually, or at least, not as bad as I'd feared. Nothing got blown up, there was no car chase (but instead there was a stampede,) the bad guys were mostly just weak, and one of the heroes did get the girl at the end. The story wasn't much more believable than National Treasure but for me it was warmer and funnier at least. Oh, and I thought Jack Palance's imitation of Clint Eastwood (or maybe Charlton Heston, but I think it was Eastwood) in the role of "Curly" was right on target. Especially in the scene where they find out he's dead and you can't tell the difference.
