2005 + 1 (Sunday, in other words)

Mutterings continued. Just come back from visiting with Dad. He was a little better today so we took a drive through the Swan Valley to visit places from his childhood. We were most surprised to see a house he lived in over 60 years ago still standing.

L and R came over for dinner last night - I made noodles, they brought ice cream. Mmm......Rocky Road..... We watched a lovely short film by Makoto Shinkai, "Voices of a Distant Star", a 30 minute anime piece. Followed by an even shorter anime film about a cat and his 'owner'. Very sweet, seen from the cat's perspective. Then Storyteller (which featured Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders as Evil Sisters in a German variation of Cinderella. Dawn F was Princess Bad Sister from Far Away, Daughter of Nobody.). A surprisingly good Muppets Show ep (it had Liza with a Z Minelli, that's what was so surprising) which took the form of a 50's film noir detective story.

And then a so bad that it's.....bad sub-James Bond MST3K. A brief synopsis: "What a great idea: make a James Bon like spy flick that features the people who play M, Moneypenny, Q, the girl from Russia with Love, Largo (aka Number Two) from Thunderball, and that also stars Connery... Neil Connery... Sean’s younger brother........ Okay, maybe it wasn’t such a great idea, but they made the movie anyway. "

Joel as a villain, smooching Crow. Most amusing. As was Torgo's unexpected appearance.
