December 27, 2003

Dreamed of lying in the fallen leaves in the gutter (in Sackville, N.B.), reading a book, and not leaving for years; the George M. Cohan song "I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy."

Saw the video of John Woo's A Bullet in the Head.  It's a genuine epic about three Hong Kong gangbangers who seek their fortune in wartorn South Vietnam and end up turning against each other.  It owes something to The Deer Hunter, but it's definitely a John Woo movie.  Just when you think it's ending, it goes on to another big shootout climax.  Really incredible.

John and Rae came over for dinner, which was pizza.

Finished Lonesome Dove.  I think it's a great novel.

The DVD player is broken. (It was less than three years old!)
