I have good news and er a smattering of bad news. The good news is that Jessica found a home for Milo with a nice girl with another cat. I adore the little guy but this is easier all around. I'm still not quite ready for a new animal and Jessica's friend fell in love with him instantly. When I'm finally settled in a new apartment, I'll visit some shelters. I'll probably end up with the most cantankerous cat around with like one eye and a limp. Those are the cats I'm drawn to anyway, the imperfect ones. I really am glad that Milo is going somewhere else and definitely relieved. It was going to be pretty rough for him being shuffled around all over the place. I think J's going to bring him over tonight so we can hang. He's such a character!
The bad news is only a slight wrinkle that honestly I was expecting. My mom is refusing to lend me the money to pay for some of my plane tickets. The problem is that I don't get the money for the program until right before I leave. It will work out though even if I have to buy tickets at the last minute. Who knows, I might snag some smokin' deals!
I have to say that I'd do just about anything for ice cream right now. I know it's only my binge urge surfacing it's ugly head so I'll just ignore it. Oh yeah and I have no money anyway! Strangely enough being broke is excellent for keeping me binge free. Binging on brown rice and soup (which is what I always have in my cupboard no matter what) is just not the same.
My mom and I watched X-men 2 and I was thrilled that she actually liked it. The problem with my mom is that her tastes are incredibly unpredictable. She's hated things that I was sure she'd like. I always hesitate recommending anything to her and I promised her that it was good. We are going to see Silent Hill tomorrow! I'm hoping to be scared. Speaking of being scared, I've decided to put a hold on my high principles and go see Mission Impossible 3. Normally I would not be swayed by flashy trailers and ultra cool bad guys but dammit I'm only human! I weighed the pros and cons and I'm afraid the fact that Tom Cruise is a repressed homosexual misogynistic freakazoid with big flashy white teeth is far outweighed by Phillip Seymour Hoffman as the maniacal bad guy who rocks, the fact that it IS a spy movie (which is actually my kryptonite, little known fact) and the excellent reviews this has been getting from
discerning and
not quite discerning individuals who I happen to like. Yes I read Ain't It Cool News and yes that means I'm huge GEEK. Whatev. So in conclusion, Tom Cruise you have won this round but you have not won the war. I will destroy you and everyone you love in a complex plot involving lasers and slow moving mechanisms. Psst, Katie! Run!!!! And all you gods of movie making magic out there, I think you owe me for this one. I'd like to put in a small request for more good pirate and spy movies. And could you make a movie about spying pirates where Ewan MacGregor is forced to take off his clothes a lot? (It could be his super power, stunning the bad guys with his electrical genitalia or something similarly awesome.) I know he won't mind. Thanks.
Gotta end this. J-Funk is coming over and I have to make the cave presentable. Also something smells weird in here and I'm on a quest to find it. G-night. ♥
