I am living in an old house with my father and my son. There is going to be a flood, and I've gone downstairs to the basement to rescue the dogs...dachshunds, there are 5 puppies in the litter, on the first try I find 3, bring them upstairs, return, find another, bring it upstairs, returning to look for the last one, have to find it quick, there are other things to be rescued here, on a shelf the boy has returned home and left me a pack of cigarettes, (??, name, ?? not my brand), through several doors looking for this last of the dachshunds, finally I find it...

Monday night off and there isn't a bar in the city worth attending. But there was this:
What We Do In The Shadows - a brilliant New Zealand mockumentary playing at Eau Claire, only cinema in town, and it's definitely a 5 star piece. Written by and starring Jemaine Clement (Flight of the Conchords) it provides a hilarious and unconventional (yet oddly still conventional) take on the maladapted vampires of Wellington, New Zealand.
5/5 Stars, view the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cv568AzZ-i8
