We got this money when went to see The Citizen’s Band at the Highline. It says it isn’t legal tender but I reckon you could use it in Playtown to buy toys if you were under a certain age.

Then I found out that “Canadian” was being used a racist term and then I thought they should use it as a term for someone who is a USA-know-nothing. Then I thought, “Hey ! I’m Canadian.” Then I thought, “Ideal!”
Well it would seem that the last few years have seen a resurgence in the cowboy movie genre. We spent Saturday watching 3 of the top rated cowboy type films.
Film 1: 3.10 to Yuma
A nice, almost spaghetti style. western that owes a lot to Once upon a Time in the West. The central relationship between Christian Bale and Russell Crowe was a bit forced but nonetheless it was watchable. Personally, I liked that fact that even though they seemed to fall in love they didn’t do anything about it.
Russell from Six Feet Under was great as the murderous lieutenant Charlie Prince. He gets “Best in Show”.
Film 2: No Country for Old Men
A guy with a crazy haircut embodies a sort of millennial evil all over the south west. There’s missing money, a Marlboro Man and Sherriff Tommy Lee Jones. Based upon the Cormac McCarthy book of the same name it plots the familiar, bleak landscape of many of his other works of border fiction. You know, guys what don’t talk much, doing murder and such, doomed from the start.
It ends with a heartbreaking rumination on mortality.
Film 3: Brokeback Mountain
It’s a cowboys in love movie. As above, it ends with a heartbreaking rumination on mortality

I think it is probably pretty nice. But do not disturb!
I found this sticker portrait of Bill Clinton in the Village. The “No. 42″ refers to the fact that he was the 42nd President of the United States. Which makes me wonder if there are other Presidential portrait stickers around town. It also makes me wonder if they all look as mild and ever-so-slightly depressed.
See these nice ducks that live in our house? The small one is saying. “DON”T WORRY DUDE, I GOT YOUR BACK.”
With apologies to MIGMERG.
