Well done little show this Trudeau II: Mav­er­ick in the Mak­ing. Great
integ­ra­tion of foot­age and shoot­age. Well cast. Hope they replay it…

The cats make the place their own. Nest­ing amongst doc­u­ments, books, etc. in the office.

OK. Bad news is that the cats didn’t quite work out. They have now returned to their nat­ural suround­ings and I am sleep­ing at night again. They were a cute pair of kit­tens though. This is a pic­ture of the little grey one. day one on my floor. Amaz­ingly as I look at the photo it is quite evid­ent that the cats grew sus­b­tan­tially when they had the run of the house. A month can make a huge dif­fer­ence in the life of a kit­ten.
Good luck back at the farm guys. Posted by Picasa

…and all too fast (maybe not). Clearly I have evolved away from being a last minute writer, how­ever the task of writ­ing to dead­lines has gone in the oppos­ite dir­ec­tion. Dead­lines are now cut-off points when it is simply time to say “can’t rumin­ate over this any longer and just have done with it.” “Stop try­ing to make it per­fect, but use every last minute to try and make it so.” Any­way, the pro­posal is nearly ready to put to bed and then hope­fully head off on the research trail.

This wet­ness can well drive one insane. I guess it should come as no small sur­prise that weather has a *huge* effect on one’s mood. This incess­ant rain and cold which seems have gone on for a week now just has that affect on one’s pro­ductiv­ity. I would com­pare it to Kubrick’s Shin­ing, but then David Schel­len­berg sent me this link last week… The Shining…Feel Good Hit of the Year … it’s rather amus­ing and worth the click.
