Not a wackjob, Barb. Spaghetti cords are visual clutter and make me antsy.

I'm sorry about Jasmine's UTI, but glad the rest of the crew did well on the transit. And I'm happy you have heat. And an office with a door that closes. Now you won't have to Nessman the masking tape.

smonster, sorry about the spraying. Such a nuisance.

Want new pictures of Shanie!

We got the last picture up in the living room today. I was askeert it was going to close in the room--we've gotten used to nice expanses of wall. It cozied it some, but it hasn't made it seem smaller at all. I have my leaving childhood and fantasy through probability to reality progression on my walls now, and it pleases me. Pictures will be taken. Someone needs to kick my butt and make me upload them.

Am I a whackjob for taking care to bundle all my cords and tying them neatly together with wire ties so that they're somewhat neat and hidden? The rest of my family is looking at me like I'm nuts.

No! All cords should be like that!

ION, oh my god, I had heard people saying that Up was sad (or had serious cry points), but JESUS CHRIST, NO ONE TOLD ME IT WAS THAT SAD!!!!

Ahem.

I may have Issues.

(We hadn't seen it when it was in theatres, and my dad gave it to us for Christmas, so we watched it tonight. Obvs.)

I knew I could count on my Bitches. ::nods::

smonster, sorry about the spraying. What a horrid thing. I'm grateful that Jack doesn't feel the need to mark that way. Although, he did park himself behind the sofa and poop, just once, just to let us know who's in charge.

Cats is weird.

It was worth it, though, wasn't it?

Boy, I don't know. The last time a movie gutted me like this was (I think) Truly Madly Deeply. Not even Brokeback Mountain got me like this.

I had UP in my queue but I haven't been able to watch Brokeback yet (I read the short story) so maybe I should take it off.

Huh, really? I mean, it's sad in the first twenty minutes, but then it's pretty uplifting, I thought. Happy ending, and all.

Watch 'em both, askye, you'll be glad you did. There's lots to love in both of them. Just have a box of tissues handy. And nobody nearby who's gonna point and mock.

but then it's pretty uplifting, I thought.

It is, but then there was the part where Mr. Frederickson flipped through Ellie's Adventure Book, and then he saw the pictures she put in the "Adventures I will Have" section, and I cried and cried again. I cried so hard I couldn't read what she wrote in the book to him.

I'm just puddly tonight, I guess.

My friend H. said UP was "uplifting", but I had a sneaky feeling he meant "will make you cry, you wuss". So I didn't watch it. Glad to know I was right.

I haven't seen Brokeback because I got spoiled and I knew I couldn't watch the whole thing without crying. What I really want is a video clip of the sexy parts, and then I can live in a happy fantasy land where their lives were perfect together.

I've cried enough in real life. I don't want to cry over entertainment. Screw catharsis.
