Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

meara, they give them to you. Our ticket was a wee bit more ($2) than usual and, at our theatre, you could keep the glasses or you could recycle them at the end. They were plastic sunglass looking things.

I can't figure out how to find which (if any) of the theatres around here are showing the 3D version of Coraline. I'll try looking in the paper downstairs next, in case the advertisements say it, but I can't figure out from the online listings which ones have the capability, damn it!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Theodosia, it looks like "3D" is included in the name in the online listings. Google found this for me: [link]

Thanks so much! That's EXACTLY what I needed. Now to get my ass in gear....

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Got up early to take Amarna to the vet for her claw-trimming. She bitched me out the whole way there, bitched out the vet tech during said trimming, and then bitched me out the whole way home. The only time she shut up was when she realized the vet tech hadn't closed the carrier door too securely and she thought she could bolt out in mid-transport. Unfortunately for her, I heard the door click and saw that the bottom wasn't fitted properly and caught it before she could ram it open with her head. Then, she bitched me out the rest of the way up the elevator and down the hall to my apartment.

She then proceeded to her food dish and inhaled some kibble and only then deigned to rub her head on my leg just now.

Oh, well, as least she won't be catching everything with her overly-long claws for a few months.

Stepanie, I'm around, but my math is rusty. However, I have paper and pencil and calculator handy....

Well, this seems like it should be easy, but I can't figure it out:

I took out a car loan for 33,195 (interest rate 4.94%) for 60 months with the first payment made in April, 2005. I'm trying to figure out how much I owe now.

(The easy thing would be to call the finance company but we have moved so many times that we don't get statements anymore and I can't seem to get logged onto their system...again because we've moved, I think)

eta: You'd think I could find this on the internet but none of the calculators seem to answer my question
