eve_primeMy big achievement for today was getting Geordi and Ginevra to eat their doses of Credelio, the flea medicine – and I’m more confident about doing it in the future, too. Jean-Luc still didn’t take his dose, so I went and got him a dose of the reasonably effective topical medicine. I’m less concerned about him because he’s not allergic to fleas like the other two.
On this week’s Nova, I was learning about the people who lived in Angkor Wat, which is one of about a thousand such temples in an ancient city in Cambodia. One of the rulers sounded truly remarkable – he drove off an invasion from a neighboring country, then established a social welfare system for his people, including building a great many hospitals, and then he converted the land from Hinduism to Buddhism! My immediate thought was that I would like to read a novel about him, and sure enough, one was written about 20 years ago, so I went down to the bookstore and ordered it.
The Friday movie was A League of Her Own. I already knew to expect Geena Davis, Tom Hanks, Madonna, and Rosie O’Donnell – but it completely blew my mind that the actor who plays the underappreciated kid sister of the Geena Davis character was the same woman who starred in Tank Girl!
