emptying nest.....

ok, so our daughter left early in the day for a church overnight camping trip......the house was only empty for a short time......as andrew and his girlfriend came down for the day.....to rdie bikes and to have supper.......but after they headed back to lex. it was only us....and so we watched capote, which has nothing to do with being alone together.......but my spouse has just finished the book in cold blood and that was the film he most wanted to see.......while i was out running errands i borrowed 2 films from the library......shopgirl and in her shoes and rented capote and stage beauty....i watched stage beauty while i walked on the treadmill....and later watched shopgirl with andrew's girlfriend while andrew was out helping his dad......i liked shopgirl more than i thought i would....steve martin sure knows how to show emotional unavailability......a bittersweet movie......and then there was capote.......a tremendously engaging film considering the subject matter.....i was especially intrigued by the harper lee connection.....but i digress from phillip seymour hoffman....who certainly deserved the oscar he won for this role.......ah well.....still one more film to watch today before i take them all back.......
