Monday morning.. tired and sore. I pretty much spent the whole weekend with the horse and the dog.. with a few movies thrown in here and there. Saturday I wanted to ride but when I got out to the barn Isabella was pretty much caked with wet mud. Ew. So I just let her graze while I chatted with folks and watched China run full speed into the mud-ridden nasty pasture and scare all the other horses. We headed over to the dog park afterwards and I made a few observations. China is definitely afflicted with dysfunctional only-child syndrome. She doesn't approach any dogs to play.. she just kind of stands on the outskirts of a romping fun-loving group, waiting to be invited. Only when dogs start running does she involve herself, chasing or asking to be chased.. but as soon as more attention is given to her, she shies away and runs back towards me. She is also quite good at distracting dogs who are faithfully fetching for their owners, foiling them by intercepting their run-path. This causes the owner to usually have to fetch the ball/stick themself (which amuses me). She's done this several times on our visits to the dog park. Also, I think I got hit on by a lesbian. There are a lot of lesbians at the dog park.
Saturday evening I saw 'Minority Report' which I really enjoyed. It's a long movie and I rented the DVD so I was able to watch all the extra goodies that came with the movie. A really excellent, thought-provoking story. Go watch it NOOOWWW. Last night I saw 'Catch Me if you Can' which was also pretty good. Leonardo and his pre-pubescent body are so incredibly hot. Me wants to lick him.
