Day Without the Dog

I had the day off today but the cleaning lady was coming so I had to evacuate.  I took Carrie Fisher to Doggie Day Care 'cause the maid needed her space (only in LA) and I couldn't bear the idea of sitting in the dog park all day with a bad head cold.  Anyway, I ended up going to see a matinee of
Year Of The Dog all by myself, and no, the irony of dropping off the dog to go see this film was not overlooked by moi.

What did I think of the Molly Shannon starrin', Mike White directin' dramedy?  I LIKED it, it was much more than the trailer promised, (more serious at least.)  I can't say I loved it, I see so many 'quirky comedies that shift into disturbing realities' films, so I'm always waiting for the turn, but I liked this movie and how CAN'T you support Molly Shannon?

Mike White movies generally make me want to kill myself. Well, more than usual.

I LIKED it as well. Although.. I gotta say I was hoping to see a guilty pleasure romantic comedy about "dog people" who fall in love at the dog-park. I was having that sorta day. When it got a little serious and heavy I was a little disappointed. MS did a brilliant job though. And that Pencil?? I would hug him and squeeze him and love him to bits. FYI... I'm a GREAT BIG GIRL.
