Kameryn is Coming!!

Kameryn is coming! Kameryn is coming! Kjersti is at Lakeview Hospital right now. I am so excited for her to come. I hope that we are able to reach mom and tell her to turn around and come back from Wyoming so that she can go be with Kjersti. I am really sorry that I can be there too. I have to work today and no one will cover for me so that I can leave... Sorry Kjersti. I will babysit for you though. ;)

Silent Hill

I am ashamed of even admiting that I saw this movie, but I wanted to warn everyone else to NOT see it. I was hanging out with Natalie and Josh and Josh was dying to see this movie. He thought it looked so good and he spent half the night persuading Natalie and me to see it. I don't like horror movies, but I let him talk me in to this one because of the cast. (I love Sean Bean) But, I wasted not only my money, but two hours of my life as well. We almost walked out, but once I have seen most of a scary movie, I have to finish it in order to stop thinking about it. It wasn't just scary, it was also just disgustingly gory. I don't want to go too much into details but there was a lot of barbed-wire in it. During the climax of the movie a girl got up and left and actually threw up before she was able to get all of the way out of the theatre. Enough said?

The Little Shit

Well, we now know why Allie and Steve called Dante the little shit. The night that Allie and Steve left back to Nevada, Dante showed his disapproval by peeing all of Geoffrey's bed. However, since then he hasn't done it again and Geoffrey has forgiven him enough to let him back into his room now.

Cat #5

As many of you know, we recently have added Dante to the kitties that live at our house. He is so sweet and I am really hopeful that he and Mael will get along. They get really close and sometimes hiss, but in general they just sit close to each other. Mael has been getting along with him better than any of the other cats I have seen him with so far. However, Scout and Dante do not get along. Any time he even gets close to her she will try and claw his face. He just walks away from her, but she really doesn't like him. So, hopefully with Mael and Dante they will just decide that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Dante also LOVES to go outside. He is a very clean, soft kitty, but when I let him go outside, he rolled in every leaf that he could find and got completely dirty. He loved it. :) So, the new kitty is settling in just fine so far.

Dinner Date with Dad =)

Saturday night I took dad out on a date. We ate at Crown Burger and then went over to Century to see Take the Lead. We had a lot of fun. I really liked being able to hang out with dad. Part of the reason that we needed to at least get together was that the U of U was so annoyed that I hadn't paid my entire tuition that they sent me a letter telling me that I had less than three weeks to pay it before they sent it to a collecter and took away my taxes for the next seven years. I called dad to see if he could help and he offered to pay for the entire thing. So, I took him out. But, it was also really good to just be able to talk to him. I apologized for always needed him to get me out of trouble, such as my tickets and school tuition problems. He told me that since he lives with Joy's kids there isn't even a comparrison. That made me feel good. =)

Organized Chaos

Downtown Salt Lake has been a mess the last few days. On 4th South and State St. all of the Hispanic people in the nearby area have been protesting the immigration laws. I couldn't beleieve how many people were there. And before that, while I was working up the street, people kept coming in and telling us that we should go and join the protest. I thought that it was just a Sunday thing, but there was still people there today. And any Hispanic people you see walking in the downtown area is carrying an American flag...

On the Radio

Today when I was taking Geoffrey to school, my radio station was airing the preview for United 93 and describing what we couldn't see happening, like the planes hitting the towers. So, as soon as they were done, I called in and told them how angry I was about the whole thing. They put me on the air and let me vent to everyone listening to 97.1 even though they didn't really share my opinion. They think that the movie looks like it was being "tastefully" done and that these people deserve to have their story told. They did agree with me, however, on the fact that the movie with Nicholas Cage was a bad idea. Jessica told me that 9/11 is a part of history like everything else so there is bound to be movies to be made about it. I just told them that they should wait longer because it is still too raw. They also explained to me that United 93 might be pulled until a later time, but right now it is due to open in April.

As a side note... Sassy doesn't mind driving in the snow as long as she has tread on her tires and now that she has four new ones... :)

To make matters worse...

When Kjersti went to go and see Ice Age 2, she saw a poster for United 93 AND a poster for a movie called World Trade Center. I told her that there was no way, but I looked it up and it is true. Oliver Stone is directing the movie, starring Nicholas Cage about two men that get trapped under the rumble at Ground Zero after the WTC falls. I think that there is something morally wrong about people that want to make money from that. And I am really REALLY pissed that known actors would be willing to play parts like that too. Honestly, what is wrong with people?
