Another week here in Shitsboro, and it is noticeably cooling off some. Good weekend of college and NFL games (I was 9-5 on my picks), nice weekend to hang around the house and play outside with Gabriel and Daisy. A couple more school days after today, and Gabriel goes on his fall break.
Dexter and Homeland are just crackling this season, aren't they? There really could be nothing else on television besides these two shows and I would be okay with that.
I don't really have many ideas for a post today on this blog, so go over to my other blog - http://mybookylife.blogspot.com/ - where I will have literature-related stuff and catch up.

A performance today for my list of the 500 Greatest Performances of All Time:
Donald Sutherland
as Faber in The Eye of the Needle (1981)
"The war has come down to the two of us," Faber, the relentless German spy out to spoil the Allies' D-Day plans, tells the lonely, isolated wife (Kate Nelligan) of a crippled British officer at the end of Richard Marquand's underrated, exciting version of my favorite Ken Follett novel. As the tall, quiet, ice-cold Faber, merrily jaunting along, Sutherland is at his best; he's all determined steel underneath. He falls for Nelligan, and we can see the interior conflict of Faber - a man torn between love and his loyalty and mission for his country. Sutherland has been in as many movies as Michael Caine - about 4,786 - and he's familiar to us as some of our relatives, and while he's almost always dependable, he really excels at playing villains and leering men of bad means. Here, he's a dandy-ish terror.
