Pics won't load, but here there be words =)

Whoah long weekend. We went to Morgan's graduation from police academy on friday, then to Springfield to make a (pretty late) dinner for parental anniversary number 32, then Papa and Jim chatted in the kitchen while Mommy and I watched Natalie's awful backup copy of "The Forty Year Old Virgin", which seemed to be completely edited for time and content, and was still faaaar too vulgar for Mommy. Ha HA! :)

Back home Saturday to stop at Costco for meatballs and to finish cleaning what Natalie missed (but it wasn't too bad she did a nice job) and then cooking to prepare for hosting Morgan's graduation party, but no fire because of all the rain. Natalie has videos of flooded portions of cambridge and jeffersonville - she and Lisa and Andrea were making fake news reports - they would say to the cops "Please can we just drive past the roadblocks to take pictures?" and the cops would say "OK you girls, but don't drive into the water!"

Sunday Jim would have had to drive back to Springfield (well, White River sinc e mommy was so nice as to drive partway) because he forgot his laptop, but we paid Natalie to do it instead and we went to see the Da Vinci Code. It was OK, but didn't move that well and really the Indiana Jones Holy Grail movie was much better. Oh and "The Order" with Heath Ledger did scary secret Church societies much better. And Dogma had the "Jesus's relative" theme already, with the last Scion and all that, even though she wasn't a direct descendant in that movie but a spare cousin or some such... But all in all, this movie has already been done better by other people and the only drama is in the implication that "Ooh, maybe the church covered something up to conserve faith". Mmmm, like child-molesty priests, only *more* scandalous? :) "Ooh, Maybe Jesus was married." Well I don't see why being married would make him NOT divine, any man who has been married can attest to the saintlike patience and fortitude that can require. Oh but Sir Ian McKellan was totally awesome and I can't fault his wonderful performance even a little.

And then we had Thai food with Eve & Rom and Jill and we argued about scary religions, such as Scientology*.

* Scientology is scary to me personally as a personal opinion, no implication is intended that it is scary to anyone else. Although it sure should be.

When does Balthazar get a chick to play with? :-)

He already has been rushing the basement door, stalking the cage, and sticking a paw in. Although in a little while, I think it might be safe to let him down there because that box of roosters will soon be able to take him. :)
