Caddie had to go to the vet for her 3rd Adequan shot so I didn’t get to ride during lunch even tho it was a high of 65. Dang it. That was ok. It was pretty quick and uneventful. She goes for her last one next week and then it will be once a month.

I went out to the barn after work and hopped on Cook in the dark. For a few minutes she was un-cooperative but I can’t say I blame her. It was cold, windy, dark, and construction was going on in the house next to the ring. And to top it off, since I was out there late, I didn’t tack up or groom so I was trying hop on her bareback with a halter and leadropes for a makeshift bridle. She kept shimmey-ing around when I was trying to climb on a jump to hop on her. I knew I only had a one shot try since I thought I might twist my ankle if I had to hop down in the shoes I was wearing.

But the ride was uneventful. Cook was good. She tries to sanely hold things together so she doesn’t hurt her mum. After we walked around a bit, I let her loose to stretch her legs out.

I’m glad I went out tho and took her out cause she always makes me feel better.

Oh! and the other thing. Cook decided to grow winter fur this year! She’s a furry beast this year. Mom is proud!

Her boo-boo on her head looks better but gross-er. Furazone is gross. and messy.

Went and saw Apocalypto. Ugh. Should have stayed here and rested.

Good: The main actor, Rudy Youngblood is awesome.

Bad: Everything else.

I can take fair amount of violence in a movie - love all the Gladiator, Braveheart, Fight Club movies… no problem. This was just excessive excessive gore and violence. I can honestly say it was painful to sit through. I just don’t get the point of it. After you sit through the first human sacrifice… ok we get it! Do we really have to watch 3 more? Each graphic scene just dragged on and on.

What I am REALLY interested in is what amount of violence it takes to get a NC-17 rating. ‘Cause this had to be close.

Read this critic’s review... its’ about dead on what I said after the movie in the car…
