Oh the joys of house sitting... So far, I've managed to keep the place running, the 3 pets are still alive and well, I've decided once and for all that I really don't like cats, which is unfortunate for my relationship with the 2 cats I am watching. They're not terrible, but I don't like animals that have more attitude than I do. Cats just really know how to lower a human's self esteem. I think the thing that I am most afraid of though, is that the one cat (named Cat) is 20 years old, the same age as me, however, this roughly translates to being a 96 year old person, somehow I just know this cat is going to die on me. Which is really just the cat's last way of trying to prove itself superior one last time and making me feel bad, which is what cat's live for (or in this case, die for) Anyway, hopefully nothing will happen. I'm here until Friday, then I'm off to South Carolina for the weekend. I'm enjoying getting to experience what it will be like to live on my own. That's about all I've been up to lately, I did see Star Wars Episode III last night with my dad and brother. I liked this one out of the new trilogy the best, but a few things disappointed me 1) Why must we computer graphicize (I know that's not a word) everything including things like Dooku's quadruple flip in the air. Surely they could have done this for real. I hate going to movies and feeling like I'm watching someone play a video game. Maybe I'm just a purist, but I like the old way better. 2) I thought the transformation of Anakin to Darth Vader was good, but the acting...so so. Those were my biggest beefs, but I did enjoy the movie. I still prefer episodes 4-6, but don't we all? Well, we should. Anyway, hats off George Lucas, you did it.
Well I think that's about it now. Oh, wait, there is something important- I found out this week that one of my old classmates, Joel Seidler, along with his family were in a bad car accident this week, and Joel and his mother were killed. I didn't get a chance to know him as well as some of my other classmates, he was only there for about a year, and he was kind of quiet, but he was really really nice. The whole family is going through a pretty rough time, they just lost their dad about 9 months ago to stomach cancer too, and now this. Just pray for the whole family, the sister's are still in the hospital, one's in critical condition and for the other injuries, and just for the family's emotional strength and the financial situation as well. They've got more than I can even imagine going on right now. So, yeah, just pray for them.
