O.K., O.K., the dumpster's done. O.K.? It was night-time, I'd just had a nice meal, I had my camera, I was bored, I was walking home...

As for movies worth watching, "Prairie Home Companion" is darn fine. I watched it over the weekend, and then read this morning that Robert Altman had died last night. He, too, was darn fine.

Tonight I watched "Iris", the story of Iris Murdoch's last (mainly) years. Alzheimer's is not for the faint of heart. Given the choice - get it or deal with it - I'll take "get it", frankly. Watching someone you care deeply about decay like that - I couldn't deal with it.
