Lately, it has been like pulling my teeth to convince my humanoid to put a movie in for me let alone take me to the movies. Do you feel the same despondency? You remember the days when going to the cinema was a joyous occasion not just another item on your to-do list?
Since I can’t not expect her to do anything nice for me here is my wish list for the month. What about you? Do you have the same taste in movies as a mutant ant? Don’t be ashamed I have first-class taste.
Movies I don’t really want to see but will if someone will take me:
Remember Me comes out 3/12/10. Hello, Clarie from Lost is in it so I’ll sit through it.
The Last Songcomes out 3/31/10. Eck, only because my human’s cousin has been looking forward to this forever.
There are plenty more coming out this month but I can’t share anymore because my human keeps replaying The Bounty Hunter trailer and laughing like a loon.
“Aggg!”
Don’t worry readers she is fine, just choking on her gum.
Over the weekend and on the way to Halibut Point, a State park which is primarily a granite quarry, my human got lost. After living on Cape Ann and this being her second visit to the park you’d think she would know where to go.
Taking a left instead of a right on 127 she got back into Gloucester before she knew she was going the wrong way. More than one helpful person gave her directions. Some even taking time out of their campaigning to help out. Next, HT drove by King Beach. (Look for a post about that later this week!) The last time she had been there was to take pictures when a dam broke and flooded the area.
Then she stopped short when she spied a great view of a breakwater. While taking pictures of fighting fisherman she noticed the side door to the dilapidated building was open, beckoning her inside. Walking in HT found busted cars, busted windows, even busted floors. Not wanting to miss any time at Halibut Park she made a note to go back later and was on her way.
Do you have a urban exploration story you’d like to share? My human learned to bring someone else with her after she almost walked over snow covered holes in the ground. She never would have heard the end of it.
Yesterday’s 7.0 earthquake was followed by aftershocks of smaller magnitude but the damage done to the region was catastrophic. The earthquake struck 10 miles outside the capital of Haiti, causing incomprehensible destruction in the densely populated city while those in Santo Domingo rushed out of their homes during tremors. With buildings flattened and more barely standing, the amount of people dead or injured is yet unclear but is estimated to be in the thousands.
According to an article on Live Science, there are reports of escaped inmates after the main prison in the capital collapsed today. Another article from ABC talks about Disaster Relief.
Here is a PhotoEssay from today and yesterday. Thinking of those effected by this disaster.
Today Bebe walked in the door and her conversation seemed to be all bomb related. Please don’t be concerned, the present she just left me is not truly an incendiary. It is popsicles.
With all the news about airport security she wasn’t too fazed when there was a delay on the MBTA. She didn’t hear any announcements but noticed a strong police presence, with dogs to boot. She and the commuters next to her assumed it was a threat of some kind but could not find a hint of it on the local news or on the news websites.
My curiosity peaked and I turned to Twitter. Voila!
Another day, another way to find your local news. Or to prove that you’re not just making up a story for why you’re late!
