Have A Nice Weekend!

During this weekend there is a big festival in my home town. I hate it.

So many drunken people during the evenings and daytime isn't much better. It's crowded, noisy and messy. Some people become real pigs during the festival. Even now as I write this I can hear a siren of an ambulance or a police car. And I'm not even in the central.

What do I do to get away from all the hassle? One of my favourite jobs... Dog sitting!

I have been a trusted dog sitter for my aunt for almost ten years. She is the reason why I my dog is a Shetland sheepdog and she is also to blame that I even own a dog. My aunt (let's call her S) owns five lovely shelties that live at her house and she partially owns a few more. So now I'm surrounded by six beautiful little dogs who occasionally bark at some noise coming from outside, but I still like it better here than in the stupid festival.

Of course the main reason why I'm a dog sitter this weekend is that S went to the festival. My friends asked me to go there but I had already promised to watch the dogs. And to be honest, I'd rather see my friends outside the festival. I like peace and quiet.

If I would go to a festival, it would be the one where I was last summer. It was clean, people were happy without pouring gallons of alcohol down their throats and there was good music (me and my friend went there to listen to the blues concerts).
Rock festivals are of course a completely different thing than city festivals.

Bottom line: I am currently enjoying very much of my weekend.

Review: The Bourne Movies

The Bourne trilogy is something that I finally watched after thinking about watching it for a long time. My friend had told me that they are good action movies and that I just might like them. She was right.

The first movie starts the trilogy well. Although at some points it gets very annoying to hear the same "I can't remember anything!" sentence all over again. The plot is very good and Matt Damon fits well to the part.

The second movie has the best story. Conspiracies have always interested me. Loved Brian Cox as the corporate bastard.

The ending of the trilogy ties up nicely the whole thing. Mostly very disturbingly directed but in certain scenes the style works.

The Bourne Identity, director Doug Liman ****
The Bourne Supremacy, director Paul Greengrass ****
The Bourne Ultimatum, director Paul Greengrass ***
