walked around another 10km…got muddy shoes from walking through some park…In the park there was a peacock, a bunch of parakeets and two old people…the old people were having a conversation about birds…It was sort of cute, but you can just imagine that all old people everywhere have this same conversation 99 times in their lives…or maybe even 99 times a day…at what point do people stop having things to talk about besides weather, birds etc?
saw latest Coen Brothers movie…No Country for old men…rather liked it…moreso than most Coen Brothers movies on first viewing…I guess I need to watch it again…I see it got a bunch of oscar nominations…I also noticed I was the only one chuckling at the dialogue…I think the dialogue was uniquely rural (texas), and maybe that’s why I was the only one laughing…I just don’t know how the brits would “get” quite a bit of it…Brits tell me your impression of the movie…
After I walked past the theatre and decided I would come back later and watch the movie, I had an hour to kill so I walked into the nearest pub…Turned out to be an old man pub…There were 5 guys (all Scots I think) in there and they were all the locals I’m guessing…they knew each other, and 4 of them left so number 5 turns to me and we chat…He bought me a beer and told me to stay out of Stratford…Don’t go to the ATM at night…you’ll see….you’ll see…and it’s funny I mentioned going on vacation and doing the same things you always do because this guy goes to Austria “11 or 12 times a year” and drinks…i said you can do that here…
I soon left to get to the movie and they didn’t even start it on time…I think it was 15 minutes before the ads even started…jerks!!!!
