Today it is cloudy and gloomy. I think we are supposed to get some rain. All the Halloween decor is put away and awaiting next year. Needles and I did run into the BIG City yesterday and pick up a few odds and ends. We also knocked a couple of names off the Xmas list with some gift purchases. With all the activity for Halloween we procrastinated for Xmas. We usually have about 80% of the shopping done by Halloween but this year we are maybe 30% done. I think it is getting late and most of the shopping we have yet to do will be done over the internet, I suspect. I can stand shopping this time of year. The lines are long and the people are crazy.
Last night we visited Rudy, Brando, Yuri and Yin. We were entertained by Yin and Choc. Silk coffee until Yin went to bed and Yuri went to spend the night at his grand parents. We watched The Village. This is probably the 7th or 8th time I have seen it. I think it is one of the best movies in most aspects. The writing is good. The cinematography is excellent. The movie is suspenseful and gets the point across without computerized special effects. The concept is original and unique in the attempt to protect themselves from the evils of modern society. The scary entity for the young people of the village is the Monster cloaked in red which is a symbol of the evil of the outside world. The evil entity for the founders of the village is evils of modern society that has seemed to follow them into their utopian society. It just goes to show you can't hide from the inherent evil of mankind. Which is a scary thought.
