I saw 'Fever Pitch' and 'The Interpreter' today. One just has to love projectionists at movie theatres, these days. Silver City Polo Park: for 'Fever Pitch', the screen was completely dark for all the advertisements (yay) and some of the previews. There was a cartoon of 'American Dad' that I missed half of because I couldn't see it. For 'The Interpreter, the framing was off...

I hear the projectionists at silvercity are a bunch of real winners.... 
There are not enough hours in the day to get my work work done. Oh well, at least I get (over)paid for doing it.

i knew there was a pan-am clinic, but i didn't know they were set up to take walk-ins. hmmm. so would they be able to take his stitches out in 10 days? should i make an appointment? what number would i call?
cai:
that would be funny if i mentioned you by name, because i'd say "eccentricguy sent me" and they'd just look at me funny. 
i actually called my doctor today and got them to squeeze him in for an appointment, but i do still apprecite your info, and will definitly use that clinic in the future.

Hot dog I enjoyed that movie. I was told it was boring and went on too long. I didn't think so. And then I went to see 'Saint Ralph' which was not the movie I thought I was going to see. For some reason, I got this movie confused with 'Millions', probably something to do with the word 'saint'....

We love the weekend, don't we? We spend too much money on the weekend, though, don't we? We're going to buy a sleeping bag today, and maybe a video game or two, and maybe some dvds, and maybe some candy, and maybe some clothes. Or perhaps just I will do those things.

Awww...I'm sorry about yer kitty. 
I'm dreading the day when that will come for me. Mine, the grey one, his name is Merlyn and he just had surgery. The black one is named Salem, and he's pretty much blind (since birth) but he drools a lot and is a dollhead. Loki is the orange puss and he's dumb as a post. I love my boys. 
Weekends rule, except for this one because I have finals this coming week, and so I'm a total study whore right now. Well, except for at the moment while I'm procrastinating. But the snow/rain outside is helping me focus, as there is NO reason whatsoever to go outside in this crap. Take care!

I often wonder if my cat meows as often and as loudly and as endlessly when I'm not at home. Strange little animals, cats are.
cai:
i read in the 'kitties" group that cats know that we communicate verbally to each other, and so they try to communicate verbally with us too. all my cat ever talks about is filling her food dish. i hope shes not that noisy when i'm away. 
I just tried deleting some of my favourite SG pics, since I've hit the maximum. Man, that's a tough thing to do. There's obviously a reason they're all in my favourites, so to delete them makes me feel a little guilty.
It's impossible for me to delete any of the pics of Al and Mary and Benni and Arete, so that cut down the choices...

Tonight I am watching Ocean's 12. It's interesting so far. Believe it or not I fell asleep during the last one.
I hope you had a fun bike ride! And kudos for making evening plans, it's so much healthier than staying at work 24 hrs a day. I should probably take that advice about school.....

This week, I got my first ever revenue cheque for one of my films. A whole $23.72. Yay for me. I haven't decided whether to cash it or frame it. Maybe I should photocopy it and then cash it.

I completely understand. While it's not the prairies here, it's still flatter than pee on a plate, and not much to look at. I've been to the west coast several many times, and the mountains and the ocean never cease to astound me. It's so beautiful, you'll have fun. 
Here are my predictions for the name the new Pope will choose:
John XXIV (I hope)
Gregory XVII
Stephen XI
Linus II
Paul VII would be the other logical choice but I like the idea of
Leo XIV better.
But who knows what a life-long celebate man in his 60s would be thinking, anyway. Perhaps something like: 'I wonder what I missed?' or 'There's got...

I was brought up a Roman Catholic and went to a Catholic school for eight years (no, there were no perverted priests) and learned about the Roman Catholic church after Vatican II took effect. Through my youth, the Church became much less rigid.
That all stopped in 1978 when John Paul II became Pope. John Paul I chose that name because he wanted to be...

Glad to see you're back! We missed ya!
Around the age of 14 I 'converted' from catholocism to paganism, and haven't looked back since. I was Roman Catholic as well, even attended Catholic school from grades K-13 with the naughty uniform and nazi nuns and teachers blocking the school exits and locking classrooms and bathrooms on Mass days, preventing unwilling students from attending. Huge paintings and prints of the Pope filled the hallways, and the teachers would remind us that 'he' was always watching us all. I can remember, even until about the age of 18, feeling guilty and thinking lightening would strike if I say Goddamnit or Jesus Christ as a cuss. I look back now and cringe at how we were all raised to think and believe in 'our' religion. Go to confession and even if it's murder, say twenty hail mary's and you're forgiven. Our campus minister in highschool would even ask people coming in to give talks about safe sex to leave. Yet, if you were raped or abused as a child, you were not in any way a virgin and were condemned a sinner and were therefore dirty and unworthy. Yeah, that one lived with me until about the age of 21....
We were the only highschool and ELEMENTARY schools in town with a daycare- for the students children. God forbid there be condoms in the bathrooms or at the nurses office to teach responsibility and safety from disease. Because, you know, as 'Pope John Paul would say..." How many times did I hear that? Perhaps the most terrifying was the incident when I was 5 our church's priest 'disowned' a woman in the congregation and disallowed her back in the church because she had decided to terminate a life threatening pregnancy. Didn't matter that she had a husband and four other children at home..... the Vatican didn't allow for that at the time. I haven't followed for so many years I don't even know if they do now. My grade 1 teacher was removed from our school when I was 7 because she got a divorce...from a husband who used to beat the hell out of her and send her to work with bruises. Gods....I could go on forever.
The thought of the Pope dying has set a strange fear in me for a long time though. I don't think he was progressive at all, but at least to a large degree he was predictable. What about now? What will they put in his place now? Will there be room for change or is the Roman Catholic church so set on its ass that there is no hope. I think it would be good for the church to change a lot of things, and they'd get a hell of a lot more priests if they were allowed to marry. I don't now. I felt sorr for the man in a way, but there's not really a thing I agreed with him on aside from the general notion of love for mankind. The wars that have happened and the deaths involved because of the church would tend to disagree with that however.... anyway, I've babbled incessantly. In short, I agree!
