Day #21,537

Walk km 3404-3408: Mill/Louise/Market/Roberts/Holcomb/Moran/Virginia
It's interesting: when I'm walking in any city, nobody says hello when they walk past you. However, today when I was walking through the snow, people were saying hello to me. It's because we now have something in common: we are the few who will venture out walking during a snow storm. Actually, this wasn't much of a snow storm but maybe for Reno it is.

Day #21,536

Walk: not today, they say there's a snow storm outside

Movie #1150: Morvern Callar(2002, Lynne Ramsay)
This is a very well made movie about a girl who goes nutso when her boyfriend commits suicide. The problem is.......so what? A character study (of a person who doesn't exist) and nothing else is meaningless. They could have at least shown her pre-suicide so we could tell what happened to her. I liked the music.

Useless except for the music. Shelly Manne supplied the soundtrack plus there's a great classical piece which is not credited and I cannot place.

Movie #1147: The Wild Ride (1960, Harvey Berman)
Early Jack Nicholson in which he tries to get his best friend to break up with his girlfriend. Also, at the "big blast" Jack is the only one there without a female partner. Was this intended to be a gay movie?

Movie #1148: Flakes(2007, Michael Lehmann)
A total waste of time.
