Shake and Bake!
It's been a weirdly NASCAR influenced few days; last night we watched Days of Thunder (which I'd never seen before), this afternoon I watched Cars and this evening Talladega Nights - The Ballad of Rickie Bobby. I'd never seen Days of Thunder before, but it helped my enjoyment of Talladega Nights immeasurably, not that enjoying Will Ferrell mucking about needs much help, but it did crystalise overall satire of the sports movie genre. And it was very funny.We put the Christmas tree up last night and started to decorate it, and Archie was obviously much enamoured of this new addition to his house. In fact he seems to be treating it pretty much like any other tree, which is to say that he hides underneath it and occasionally tries to eat the leaves... I would've expected him to stop that pretty quickly, as the leaves are obviously plastic and can't taste very pleasant at all, but I caught him doing it this evening too, so maybe they taste okay, or maybe ALL leaves taste like that to him and he can't tell the difference. We were surprised (and pleased) that the tree was still standing when we got up this morning though.
We did a little shopping this morning, and then Ronnie was off dashing about, visiting her grandad in hospital and helping to bring him home before she had to shoot off to work. So me and Archie have had the house to ourselves most of the day (as per usual!), hence the large number of movies watched...
Sigh.
Oh well, these things have to be done, right? Soon she'll be on her Christmas break, that'll be nice for both of us.
Wonder what I'll get up to for the rest of the evening?
