sleepy eyes watchin stuff sometimes

oh my gosh, i've had the sleepiest eyes lately. I've been watching stuff sometimes but very casually. More Art21. That's my new go-to-sleep show. At first I thought the listening with my eyes closed would be annoying and that I wouldn't be able to sleep at all, but it turns out that artists talking about their work is really soothing. I agree that art has it's own language and that it's hard to get back into it or want to, but I can say that once I did, I'm really hooked and now I want to talk about it all the time, which is great cos I was worried that part of my brain may have morphed into something else. But yeah, back and strong as ever.

The other night I brought home a video I found in the kids section. It's called Puppies! And it's footage of puppies! It must be from the 80s and the breeders they talk to are kind of creepy. I really hate that some dogs, like german shepherds, have their ears clipped or bound so they'll stand up straight instead of flop. So, puppies are cute and adorable but people forcing certain characteristics on them is gross and sad. My favorite might have been the Chinese crested:


Kind of ugly, or, at least punky, but what you can't see in this picture is that when they're in a puppy group, they run around and jump over each other like weird little acrobats, and the other puppies didn't do anything that cute.

I alway watched the first ten minutes of a movie called The Women, recommended to me after I whined about old movies being mostly about dudes. This one has Joan Crawford and someone else famous, and all the main characters are women. Snappy dialogue and all that good stuff.

And still with the Home Movies. Always with that.
