A Love Song for Bobby Long
Posted on April 14, 2006 by Ching under Movies.
Some people reach a place in time where they’ve gone as far as they can. A place where wives and jobs collide with desire. That which is unknowable and those who remain out of sight. See what it is invisible and you will see what to write. That’s how Bobby used to put it. It was the invisible people he wanted to live with. The ones that we walk past everday, the ones we sometimes become. The ones in books who live only in someones mind’s eye. He was a man who was destined to go through life and not around it. A man who was sure the shortest path to Heaven was straight through Hell. But the truth of his handicap lay only in a mind both exalted and crippled by too many stories and the path he chose to become one. Bobby Long’s tragic flaw was his romance with all that he saw. And I guess if people want to believe in some form of justice, then Bobby Long got his for a song.
Since I stayed home today I got a chance to watch A Love Song for Bobby Long today. It came highly recommended by my coworker, Â Scott. I watched the movie, pausing only to take calls from Brian and the vet.
Brian warned me not to watch it. He said that it’s depressing. I don’t know how he knows. He has never seen the movie and refuses to watch it.  The story begins a little  depressing but it does have a happy ending. It’s a great movie. You all should watch it. For a moment it made me forget about Molly’s plight.
Some people take drugs. I just watch movies.

My Poor Baby
Posted on April 14, 2006 by Ching under Babies.
I don’t know who to feel more sorry for, Molly or Brian. Molly hasn’t had an appetite at all since Brian brought her home. She had some vomitting on Wednesday but Brian and I attributed that to carsickness and thought nothing further of it. When I tried to feed her yesterday morning she still wouldn’t eat. I thought I would just try again at lunch. Surely she’d be hungry then.
Around nine o’clock I received a call from Roxanne to check if Molly was eating for us. I described to her our struggle with feeding her. She told me to force Molly to eat right then because Molly might get sick if she doesn’t eat.
So I put a teaspoon of baby food in a saucer as Roxanne instructed. Baby food is all she could get Molly to eat so she sent a small jar of baby food home with Brian the other day. Anyway, Molly ate a third of it. Maybe even less than that. (more…)

Possibly More Than What I Bargained For
Posted on April 13, 2006 by Ching under Babies.
You know how they say that you’re supposed to take your puppy out about once every two hours? Well, that’s about right. I thought I could sleep through the night with no problems. No. Molly starts crying almost every two hours. As if on cue, she starts as soon as I’ve fallen asleep. Her timing is impeccable. So I get about a couple of minutes worth and then I have to get up again. I don’t think I’ve had a wink of sleep tonight. I don’t think I will either. I’m so glad I’ve decided to take tomorrow off work.
