chapter thirteen

About 4K transcribed today. And substantially revised, though only on a word-sentence-paragraph level, not on an event and idea level.

I also planted a bunch of cute plants in the front yard. An amazing 8-foot potential salvia, called "chartreuse" because of its calyxes, a cute little blue salvia, a pink flowered thing called a croaweia, and a tiny fuschia, almost a microphylla but not quite. And I pruned again.

The chartrease was chosen by one of us and the other chose all the cute little sweet flowered ones. Guess who chose what? Hint: it's nothing to do with macho.

We saw Beat Takeshi's "Dolls" at the Pacific Rim Film Festival. I don't know. I'm not an action movie person, but I guess even I can have a movie that is too slow.

And it's one opf thopse m,ovies that makes you want to slap the characters. This guy did "Battle Royale" and a Zatoichi movie, but "Dolls" is different.
