Message 241

I just got home from having breakfast at Heidi's Pies with Vanessa and Annie. Annie was all dressed up in a new outfit and matching shoes and hair bow that made her look real cute, so everyone in there made a lot of her. All of the people who work there know us, and many of the customers also know us. Vanessa goes around and says hello to all our friends , kisses them, and talks to them, so it is quite an occasion each week. Afterward I took Annie to the library for our weekly story time for kids, which she enjoyed today as usual.

Last night I watched a DVD of V for Vendetta, which is another Wachowski brothers movie, the same who made the Matrix trilogy. I debated about giving it 4 stars, or maybe dropping to 3 and a half stars, but I finally settled on 4 stars. My debate was because a lot of things were obscure or ambiguous, but I realized finally that those qualities were intentional, so the audience could decide for themselves. It was a movie set in the future when the United Kingdom is a totalitarian state. It was kind of Orwellian and dealt with questions of truth and freedom, etc.
