and I forgot

earlier when I was thinking about 'Beauty
Shop" that Kevin Bacon and Andie McDowel (sp) are in it, too. I think it's Beauty Shop, it's the Queen Latifa movie.

And I did see 'Field of Dream.' And liked it. I liked 'Dances with Wolves.' I liked the part of 'Beauty Shop' I saw. I like many things. I don't, however, pay attention. And I've decided to call this memory of mine The Newton Syndrom. It took me 2 or 3 months to remember Wayne Newton's name and I know that one, too. This is not a scientific statement.

Animals Make Us Human is excellent. I really recommend it. I'm now on the cat chapter and am learning many things I've never thought about. Cats don't have facial expression or read faces like dogs do. They're closer to their wild cousins than other domesticated animals. Cats can live ferally, and dogs can't. They can't be trained with negative reinforcement, only positive, and I think that's mostly food rewards. They're not unsocial - I already believed that. My cats are always glad to see me when I get home. My cat now often sleeps in the same room with the dog and me.

The Ilinois governor, Blog something, was just on The View. I found it beneficial to blog instead? Whatever. I didn't want to pay attention. Listening often drives me crazy.

And the press is killing Kaylee Anthony's grandfather. Is there any reason they have to be parked out his house all the time? Oh, ya. Money for news stories. Everything's a business. The news didn't used to have to make money. The stations carried it for public interest. Now there's so much competition they need celebrity anchors and big advertisers. So they harass people to death. Just like the tabloids do. That man is probably going over every detail of the little girl's death, with the added bonus of each new piece of evidence he can add to the picture. Everything he can remember from his daughter's birth, his granddaughter's birth, sewing around in pain. But the public needs to know. They need to see him take out his trash. It's news. Important news. Unlike his life which is another story up for grabs.
