Autumn and October

Rainpuddle

The rain and leaves changing has begun in Portland.  It is dark when the alarm goes off. And the house is cooler.  I feel I can't say cold I have to wait until the temperatures are really lower than say 40.  Otherwise cold becomes overplayed in my vocabulary usage. I also have stopped complaining outloud about the cooler temperatures because I will drive the people I am around the most CRAZY with complaining.

This reminds me of the movie I Heart Huckabees which I watched the other night. It had an all star cast: Jude Law, Dustin Hoffman, Lily Tomlin, Jason Schwartzman, Naomi Watts, and Isabelle Hubbert etc. It was good.  It wasn't great-the pacing was off or something.  It was interesting that they discussed philosophical issues.  Costumes were really quite nice especially Lily Tomlin's outfits. Anyway back to complaining outloud.  Jason Schwartzman's character gets very angry and the audience gets to hear the cursing going on in his thoughts. We sometimes hear the cursing in his head and sometimes outloud.  So when I get complainee about the weather I have to remember to use my inside voice not the outloud voice.  Understand? Have a great day! I am hoping for sunshine.
