Catching up on everything...

[Jennifer Piersol]

Hi, all.  I've been away from the computer for a while (although I 
caught up enough to snipe at Amy (it was you, right Amy?) for fowling 
(hehe) up Buckbeak).  I wanted to post this earlier, but my husband 
came in and made me go to another site, which erased a post I'd been 
typing for 10 minutes already.  I was so miffed that I just didn't 
start again.  He's doing the dishes now, so I'm safe. ;)

Anyway, topic number one: birthdays, bad news, and other stuff:

Happy Birthday to all those I missed, Happy Birthday to Christian 
today (it's my sister's birthday today, too), and Happy Birthday to 
Harry tomorrow.  ;)

I'm glad (yes, glad) to hear that Jamieson is free of that Mitch - I 
haven't liked him since the striped-trousers incident (notice I 
refrained from typing pants... ha, Neil), and I hope that getting 
along without him is going better and better.

I'm even more glad to hear about the return of Parvati... I hope she 
got her adventuring out of her system.  Our indoor cats used to want 
to escape... my mother-in-law came to visit after Ginger was born and 
left her window open one Spring evening.  They got out the window,
but had to wait outside for us to come back from dinner - in POURING
RAIN.  They haven't tried to escape since.

I hope everyone's job-related problems clear up.  I hated my last job 
- teaching for a welfare-to-work program at our local community 
college... so I quit.  The students were good for the most part, but 
the administration for our program was horrendous, and I just didn't 
like being stepped on and abused anymore.  I'm not-so-secretly hoping 
they crash and burn now that I'm gone. ;)


Okay.  I think that's it.  Now: new topic.  

I saw the trailer on the big screen, finally.  My hubby and I went to 
see Cats and Dogs (even got a babysitter).  Should have reconsidered 
when the 15-year-old babysitter said, "Oh.  I've heard mixed reviews 
from my friends about that one."  HP trailer was first, and was 
totally worth our $4.75.  Good thing, too, because Chris and I WALKED 
OUT not even 30 minutes into the movie.  It was the worst ever.  I 
went into great detail about this in my previous post (that got 
trashed), but this post is running so long that I'll just stop there.

Anyway, I wanted to ask you all (if you're down here by this point): 
if any of you have ever walked out of a movie, which one was it?

Jen, the perpetually absent and behind-times.
