Maybe Hulk can shut yo' mouth!


Spider-man, Spider-man, does whatever a spider can..

Apparently, spiders can not make children SHUT UP.  I may come off as an evil child-hater here.  I don't hate kids.  I don't like annoying kids, but I'm more pissed at parents who bring their kids to non-kid-friendly events.  Don't bring your little one to a big-people's movie!  They talk, they can't sit down for 5 mins, they ran up and down the stairs, they hopped on all fours,  they screamed, they cried... but, magically, whenever an usher came in, they were all like church mice.  It was unbelievable.  

I wanted to tell all those parents that if they could afford a movie, they could afford a babysitter.  The whole theater was not there to watch or hear your little kids.

Not that the movie was spectacular.  My hubby, the comic guru, didn't like it.  I thought it was ok, what I could get out of it. Still, I paid my money, and I should get to see my crappy movie.

At least the manager agreed and gave us passes to come see another movie.  I wish they had a kids-free night.  I want to go see Brave.  Maybe there's a midnight showing?...

Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.



Today, I wish it had a content key!  I haven't written for a while, though my nail blog gets updated every day, sometimes twice a day, so I know I have something to say!

Today's deep thought is about doggie adoption.  We have a new dog in the house, a dog that my petsitter has been fostering for about a year and a half, and thought would make a nice addition to our home.  So far, it's been a little rocky - my other male dog growls at him a lot (though he also growls at my adult female that he's known all his life), the new dog is marking my house (he marked my bed, which I get, but he also marked my curtains?!) and although he was touted as a submissive, easy-going dog, he's actually coming out of his shell as a fairly confident dog.  I'm well-versed in setting boundaries for my pups and leadership theory, and I've never had a problem with that, so I know that I could keep the peace and MAKE it work.  I'm just not sure if I should.  Would it be kinder to my existing dogs and the new dog for him to find a new home?  Should I wait longer and see if time and training makes this group click together?  I don't know if these dogs will ever like each other, it would be more of a tolerance for each other, I think.  Do we all deserve better?

I do like this new dog, but I'm not in love with him - yet.  We'll see.  I'm not going to make any decisions tonight.  It's odd, because all the dogs I've adopted in the past I either fell in love with right away, or took them because I knew they would be better off with me than in their current situation.  I don't know how I feel about this one, yet.
