Yesterday

Yesterday at work the cutest little yellow bird hit the window. He was out of it for an hour but still very much breathing. I decided to call a local Wildlife Rehab organization and got a recording saying that you should put the bird in a small box, with ventilation of course, with tissues in it and keep it in a quiet location to help it recover from shock. I left a message with them and they called back in about 30 minutes. Someone later came to pick it up. Supposedly it's a Common Yellow Throat Warbler but this little guy's was much more yellow than just his throat. I will call today to check on his condition. I think this is going to be a recurring problem with all the big windows in their house.

He looked liked this, a yellow warbler:


I was on my public library's website and saw a link to the following movie clip on YouTube. Last year I had seen notices on the library regarding filming of a movie there. I didn't think much of it in spite of the fact that my town's pretty small for one on Long Island. The movie is titled "A Merry Little Christmas" starring the actor Matt McCoy who most people will recognize as guest starring on Seinfeld playing Lloyd Braun.

Here's the Trailer:



Here's the Movie on IMDB.com.


I watched the movie "Portrait of a Lady" starring Nicole Kidman. I finished reading the Henry James novel last week. It was pretty much the first time I had read a book and then seeing the movie as I have just started reading consistently this year. While it was interesting to see visually, I have to agree with what I had always heard... "The movie is never as good as the book." I however loved the music and have added numerous classical pieces to my iPod.


Ciao for Now.
