Stuff that I would have written if I'd had more time throughout the semester, part I

And there may only be a part one, but I'm leaving myself an outlet just in case I get tired of typing.

First of all, on a sad note, Mom and Dad and I had to have our little Frisco put to sleep over the weekend. He had feline leukemia, and it just manifested really fast. He had been having some neurological symptoms for several weeks, and on Saturday morning he had three seizures, so we just decided to end his suffering. Poor little guy. That makes four beloved kitties that my family has lost in a little over a year - starting with having to put Yo-Yo to sleep in October 2004, and then Lucky and Cinders being killed by a dog over the summer, and now Frisco. But with Frisco, we knew it was going to be inevitable. It's still sad, though.

And now, on to some random stuff.

This one time? I went to class, and 50 Cent had followed someone to school. See?

I didn't notice him at first, although he was chillin' all up in the front of the room (but then again, I don't notice much at 8:00 AM - except maybe a nuclear holocaust, IF I'd had my coffee) and the guy who sits beside me (who, if you'll recall, is NOT Clay Aiken) leaned over and said, "Fiddy's in the house." And he was, indeed. All of our professors just lectured around Fiddy all day, whilst he stood there and looked menacing. Quite amusing.

Back in October 2004, I wrote an annoyed post about a grocery store that I passed every day on my drive to and from school/work that had the same thing on their marquee (is that what those things are called?) for at least five years. Aaaaaand, it's still there. Just to update you on the situation. It's also still annoying.

I've seen a few movies.

• The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - very, very good. Tilda Swinton was wonderfully scary as the White Witch, and Scott finally got to see what Turkish Delight is. When Edmund requested Turkish Delight from Scarily White Tilda, Scott (a big fan of fantasy, Lord of the Rings-ish stuff, and probably a bigger fan of C.S. Lewis) leaned over to me, all excited-like, and said, "Finally! I'm going to find out what Turkish Delight is!" I'd like to say that it was all he ever thought it would be and more, but I don't know what he thought it would be.
• Can't Hardly Wait - I know, I KNOW. I can't stand Jennifer Love Hewitt, but Seth Green and Ethan Embry (and a Guns N'Roses song) canceled her out. It was your typical "end of high school" movie, and I thought it was an enjoyable waste of time - I mean, I didn't watch it looking for deep meaning or any such thing. Also, Seth Green is too cute - but I like him better when he's not trying to be all Biggie Smalls with the fake Ebonics. The movie also features one of my favorite songs - Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits (mp3 (right-click and "save as"), lyrics) which took me about 10 listens to like as well as I do, but - what a great song.
• The Brothers Grimm - Crrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaap. That is all.

Huh. I thought I'd seen more movies than that. I guess not.

So, there WILL be a part two, because I have to get myself ready for church - Scott is teaching Bible study tonight, and he's such a great teacher - he really has a gift for it. I'll be back later.
