Thanksgiving

The feast. I spent thanksgiving with my surrogate family; a doctor, his wife, their five daughters some grandparents and Bernhart from germany. And i mean the old germany, this guy was in the hitler youth. He was born in 1921, see i know this because in the middle of the feeding, he very randomly burst out talking about Judy Garland, and how because he was infatuated with her at the time of germany falling (he was hard to understand but i think i got the gist) anyway he could only remember songs by Judy Garland and not the nazi songs, so that somehow allowed him to escape to Canada or something then they were going to deport him, but he got a job the same day, so they couldn't. I have no idea. Everyone was is mid conversation when he started and we all had to be silent while Berhart woffled on for about ten minutes, then he stopped and went back to eating his pureed fruit, while we devoured the turkey.
--Isn't that funny though, it was so real for this guy, nearly being killed and living in such a wacked out time. Now his big day out is having thanksgiving with his doctor's family,and struggling to have a story about Judy Garland and Hitler comprehended by an audience who can't share his pain. And then to be returned, after dinner, to his lonely apartment while he informs us that he is afraid it isn't as secure at it used to be, but like having no money to fix his teeth, he can't move to a safer area. And the family smiles and wishes him well, but won't have a moments thought of him, untill he shows up next thanksgiving, if he is still around.

-It was great, a real all-american family and a real thanksgiving day feast, topped of with a delicious dessert of american apple pie and pumpkin pie. Then a walk to the beautiful river, which flows just below the mountain that is home to Monticello.

-The doctor was on call, and he went to his surgery to check a baby with a fever, anyway i seized my opportunity and went along with him because i thought i had a kidney infection. So he took a urine sample and checked it under the microscope, and it turns out i don't have an infection, but they could mean my pain is something worse, it's on both sides of my side where the kidneys are. I'll have to go for some blood tests on monday, i have noticed the pain comes on after drinking, so i'll have to seriously give that away for about six months.

The only thing i missed out on was watching the thanksgiving day gridiron games.





You can see benhart bottom right with the spectacles.























Making the all american apple pie.














The daughters, who go to different colleges. one said she went to Radford, and if you remember one of my earlier blogs you'll know what Radford is.










Movie of the week.
Casino Royale. This bond is brilliant, i fucking hate brosnan , the up himself bastard, but this guy and the movie was real feel. No gadgets or anything, so i liked it just like Mission Impossible three, some fancy stunts, but good old punch 'em out action.
The Fast and the Furious; Tokyo Drift This was great too, i saw it on dvd. Pretty close to being as good if not better than the first one, the second one sucks. And the appearance of my favourite car; the mustang really topped it off.

Quotes:
'You make choices, and don't look back' - Tokyo Drift - there was a lot of wisdom in this film, i forget the other good lines.

Brian Griffin: Ah, if my memory serves me, this is the physics department.
Chris Griffin: That would explain all the gravity.

Lois Griffin: Peter! You're bribing your daughter with a car?
Peter Griffin: Ah, c'mon, Lois, isn't 'bribe' just another word for 'love'?
