Oh Dog, you Sleuth!

I went in here last week when I was taking pictures on Sandy Blvd. I though I’d buy a donut or something and then ask if I could take a picture. But I didn’t need to because there was a ‘Be Back in 5 minutes’ sign on the cash register, which I thought was great and snapped away. And the sign was printed out by a computer and laminated, which leads me to think the store is routinely abandoned. I remember walking into a corner grocery store in New Orleans one time when I was a teenager and the woman behind the counter was slumped over it and snoring. And there was no one else working in the place.

We watched a ton of movies this weekend, the best being Gothika, with the very believable story-line that a shrink has a car accident, gets possessed by a ghost (wackiness heavily ensues), she wakes up a patient in the same hospital she works in and then has to solve a crime while being committed to psychiatric treatment and a number of other unpleasant events. See it! Plus, we tried to watch a flim called ‘Sunburn’ starring Farrah Faucet and Charles Grodin. It was shot in Acapulco in the early 80s and seemed like it might be the greatest movie ever (I argued) and really sucked. There was one brief glimpse of the TWA terminal at JFK, which made me writhe because it had been closed down when I lived in NY and I never got to see it. But maybe this October, I’ll check this out.
