I first thought the hell with gardening but when neighbors are out in the yard tending to their garden I felt the shame that I should look after too about our front yard and back yard. I must admit that I don't like being outside because I am not an Outdoorsy person. I hate hot, hot weather. It's hard to open up my eyes when the weather is hot. But yesterday the weather is just right, not so hot and not so cold so together with my daughter Tamara who helped me dig those stubborn weeds out from the garden. Those grass that should not be there in the first place but they keep coming out from the ground dunno why. It's hard to pull out those dandy lions. I know they have those dandy bright yellow dainty flowers that beautify the lawn however they are stubborn weeds. My husband was out in the yard in the complex to do his first grass cutting for this year at the lawn. The green grass grows so fast and weekly trimming or lawnmowing is mandatory. Gas? Oh no! The price of gas is higher this time of the year.
A bucketful of those stubborn wild grass and the bucket is really heavy and we are sweaty from working outside then it's time to go inside the house. To our shock our computer and television are not working properly. Their function was abruptly halt to a stop. Our computer connection ? What happened to our computer? The connection was disconnected? How could that happen? We are paying internet fees on time. We are paying TV connection on time!!!!!! What's wrong? Then as I browsed to the TV channels there are channels with its function but with images that stop for few minutes like as in "buffering." "Computerized programming." Somebody is messing up with our computer and TV. Then there's that messages about intializing and if we want to connect we have to contact the provider in Quebec. Uhm, why in Quebec when we are living here in British Columbia. Awful? Awkward? The "hacker" is from Quebec? What the hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Instead of watching the regular TV that's having malfunction, we rented the movie AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY. Know what this movie of the dysfunctional family is really something for you to watch and listen carefully to their dialogue and all the lies, deception, secrets and the dramatic sequences those drama queens have in store for so many years are then compiled all together and the result is "explosive." Thought provoking, Meryll Streep is such a good actress capable of making every character role she portrays as nothing to her prowess. Her acting is superbly powerful and captivating. The theme of the movie is somewhat grimm and dark with few humorous adlibs and every scene is interesting. Watch for the loud tones, frank dialogues. Watch the many different facial expressions of Meryll Streep and Julia Roberts as they both play and tackle their roles in how they provide magnetism to the characters they portrayed in this movie. I found the movie very intriguing and frightening like bad spirit is within that house and the women are being possessed. Meryll, in her portrayal as Mrs. Weston and mother of those 3 women whose lives have problems of their own. Their Mother who was suffering with debilitating cancer and taking prescription drugs that made her so ill and dying but verbally abusive and smoking non-stop. She had cancer and she smokes like a chimney. Her drugs include valium, oxycontin and other powerful drugs that can make her explode and be loud and scream like as if riding in a roller coaster. I think that's what happened when the house looks over fifty years old, maybe hundred years old house (colonial) and the antique furnitures are dusty, who knows maybe moldy. Maybe a touch of good colorful paint can help but the plot story is about dysfunctional family so maybe the house that is unappealing can show how cancer is viewed in very perspective way. Anyway, blame it on what's in the wide open space in Oklahoma. Where your neighbors are hundred miles away from your house. Aliens walked the fields, maybe. Nope there's no aliens in that movie. You just have to feel there are invisible aliens in that movie causing havoc to their lives. I like Meryll's dialogue about beauty that when you are old you don't look beautiful. And the only true beautiful in Hollywood is Elizabeth Taylor but she wears tons of make up.
In that movie Osage County, nobody wears the make-up except Meryll. They showed their natural facial complexion, with all the sunburnt, freckles and wrinkles. Too much effect of lighting. Lighting is a drug, you used too much of it then it affects your health. Compromise.
After watching the movie, our television still is defective. Actually the Program still is initializing...
It was just two days ago when the Telus agent called us if we need help or something then call him with his calling card on the table. We didn't call. When my son came home from work he was able to fix the problem. Yehey! My son can now fix the TV and Computer. Bravo!
It's the replays that we cannot fix. Why we have to pay for those replays?
