Stopped in Armadale for lunch on the way home from Slashcon, and somehow ended up going to see Eight Below, a film I'd never heard of, but Jody and Trille were keen to see, and hey, Paul Walker is pretty, right?

I should mention at this point that I am a sucker for dogs.

I spent a lot of the film crying, at one point actually sobbing loudly.

This site has a trailer, and some scenes, including 'introducing the dogs'.

Here it's all about me. *clears throat*

My dog. Oh, the embarassment. Used to be a show dog, and somehow we've never got around to getting him fixed - it's not like he usually has a lot of interaction with other dogs, and has never been shown what to do, so to speak. So today he meets a girl, thinks this is a bit of all right - then gets a whiff of the other boy dog and apparently it was Love At First Sight. For him, anyway. The other dog seemed a bit shocked.

I blame emma_in_oz completely for leading me astray into the bull ant infested zone. My leg now has a bloody great red swollen bite. However, I count my blessings, at least it wasn't in a more intimate area, like special_trille's. And I got my revenge on the little monster. Stamping it into the ground violently while screaming incoherently *may* have been a bit of overkill. Heh, I punned.


But Zeb's mum made this apricot teacake that made it all worthwhile, and I feel no shame when I admit that I ate *way* more than my share of it. I'm embracing my inner Rodney McKay.

And watching the horses chase the dogs around was lots of fun.

...and some trees got planted.
