So tonight, I watched Stagecoach in Film class. It was great! I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was. Growing up, John Wayne flicks bored me. They were films for my father. Now, it was different. It was a predictable movie, but I think that's because many of the plot elements have been done to death in other movies. Still, considering it was developed in 1939, it wasn't bad. It was the first "talkie" we saw in class. And, John Wayne wasn't that bad looking at age 32. After class, I stopped at Best Buy can picked up a John Wayne box set with Stagecoach in it. I gave it to my dad. He sounded as if he wanted to watch it as well.

Best Buy didn't have the DVD set I wanted. I was going to get the The Cary Grant Box Set with Holiday on it. I just ordered it on Amazon. As I was looking for it, one of Nicki's ex-co-workers from Media Play was calling me a loser for wanting it. He started talking about the things he watched. I did the loser sign to him. Nicki's not too fond of him, but he's not that bad of a guy, or at least to me. He's never been mean to me. He really likes Nicki. I did pick up one other thing at Best Buy - an external hard drive. It's 160 GB. I copied all my music and important files to it. I figured I'll let my sibs backup their stuff to it was well. It cost a pretty penny, but it should be worth it. I feel better backing up my music.

Tonight's dinner was pizza. When the guy came to the door, some of our animals got out. I think it took 45 minutes to round them all up. I got PupPup. Graysie walked into the house on her own. Scooter would have done the same as his sister, but PupPup was at the door, scaring him. C.C. took the longest. We looked all over our bushes but couldn't find him. He was across the street in the park when we finally saw him. Both my father and I saw him at the same time. My dad said he admired my perseverance in trying to get C.C. back into the house.

I'm persevering in life as well. I'm chugging away at school. I have 4 pages complete for my 7 page paper. I typed what I wrote last week, plus added an additional paragraph. I should have a good discussion about Stagecoach when I get to that point in the paper. I'm not going to fret and write this paper at the last moment. I'll work on it slowly and try to write it as well as I can.
