Teddy would like to thank everyone for their well wishes on Monday in regards to his surgery. He went into the Naperville Animal Hospital to get neutered. Although not pleased with the procedure, he pulled through and is coming home tomorrow.
Our adorable kitten has a new name . . . Mr. Teddi Bear Fox.
Todd finally caved in to the name “Teddi”. He had been trying desperately to use the names “Stinson”, “Buddy”, and “Indy”, but stronger wills prevailed.
As soon as Todd stops playing Wii, an updated picture of Teddi might just appear. However, someone is having just way too much fun with his numchuk . . .
OK, yesterday I wrote about how our newly adopted kitten, Teddy, weighed in at 4 pounds, seven ounces. Well, it turns out that the little tyke only weighs 1 pound, 7 ounces. My sister’s family, who adopted Teddy’s brother, took their cat to the vet today where he got weighed. Their cat, Mickey, weighs in at 1 pound, 8 ounces. Mickey was able to undergo a delicate procedure yesterday, but Teddy wasn’t able to. Teddy has to wait 4 to 6 weeks for his special operation.
I’m sure he can hardly wait . . .
As usual, Todd and I are having some problems picking out a name for our new bundle of joy. The folks at the shelter named him “Teddi”, but we both kind of agree that he needs a new name.
Todd thinks “Garmin”, “Rivet”, and “Datum” are cool names.
I think “Sundance” or “Teddi Bear” are cool names.
Todd did make the suggestion of “Indy” in honor of Indiana Jones. That’s the only one of his many suggestions that I think might actually work. Hopefully by this week-end we will have our new kitten’s name narrowed down to at least three choices!
We have a brand new addition to our family! Weighing in at 4 pounds, 7 ounces, here comes . . . well, we haven’t decided on a name yet!
We adopted him from the Naperville Humane Society yesterday, and we already love him to pieces!!!!!!
This week-end, Todd and I decided to get domestic. We awhich there attempting to paint our downstairs bathroom. Yes, gone are the days of boring white haphazardly spray-painted on by the builders five and a half years ago.
If we don’t kill each other first, by Sunday night we should be looking at our first completed home project.
Photos and updates to come . . .
OK, I’ve really been wanting to watch “Enchanted” since I’ve saw Amy Adams perform at the Academy Awards. So, as luck would have it, on Saturday night, Todd and I were able to rent it from our favorite redbox. What were we thinking? Hmm . . . bad movie clue: A just-released movie is available to rent at 7:30 on Saturday night.
Anyway, the (one) loyal reader of this blog will know that even though Todd and I start off by watching a movie together, he’s never awake to finish watching it with me. His review: Through the mess of drool, I clearly discerned a Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
OK, my turn. Have you ever been watching a movie, and really been enjoying it for the most part, and then you get to a scene where the movie just makes a wrong turn and never gets back on track? Yeah, that pretty much sums up my experience with this movie. I was grooving along to the songs and the sappy dialogue, and then the movie just “jumped the shark”. You know, it’s that part in the movie when you just shake your hand in astonishment because you can’t believe you have just wasted so much of your time. And, that one scene just TOTALLY ruins the entire movie for you. In this case, that part for me was when the wicked queen turned into a talking dragon. Are you serious?!? WTF!!!!!
Oh, bad movie clue #2: The movie contains a talking chipmunk.
My review: With a healthy dose of generosity, I give this movie an F+. Even McDreamy can’t save it.
With a running time of two hours and forty minutes, this movie labors on FOREVER!!!!
Almost as if on cue, Todd fell asleep with roughly an hour and fifteen minutes left. His soundtrack is as annoying as ever.
As for me, I really liked this movie, even though I didn’t think I would. It was a western, but without the “shoot ‘em up” action. Casey Affleck should have won his nomination for Best Supporting Actor - he was phenomenal in his role as Robert Ford. At the very least, this movie should have for Best Cinematography!
Plus, I know a movie is really good when it makes me want to find out more about a subject - in this case, the history involving Jesse James and Robert Ford.
My rating: B+.
Todd and I bit the bullet tonight and rented the Best Picture Winner from our local redbox.
As usual, Todd fell asleep. His review: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
I watched the whole movie, and I can understand why critics loved it, but I just wasn’t feeling it. I certainly wasn’t expecting the “feel good movie of the year”, but I was expecting some suspense and tension. Just like Anton, the movie lumbered from one scene to the next, in my opinion. My review: D.
With the start of Spring Break, I now have the time to start catching up on some novels that I have wanted to read for awhile. I’m in the middle of reading Life as We Knew It, and I can honestly say that this book is depressing the hell out of me! A story of a teen-age girl’s survival after an asteroid hits the moon, the book presents a look at a world falling apart, without heat, adequate supplies of food, etc. I’m only halfway through it, but it seems so depressing and sad I’m not in too much of a rush to finish it!
The other book, Touching Spirit Bear, is not so much depressing as it is gross! This is a story about a boy’s survival on a remote island. The descriptions of how he struggles to survive after a vicious bear attack are just plain disturbing. Yuck!!!
And Todd wonders why I buy the newest issue of UsWeekly every Friday . . .
