i slept most of this weekend and it made me sad. i was supposed to go to the home depot to get supplies to finish my rat cages up- you know, make them all homey- but i couldn't get up the energy to wheel myself in mah wheely-chair. i usually have ryan wheel me, but since we were planning on getting a large trash can as well, he would've been pushing a shopping cart. (oh... i rented a wheely chair just for the month until the weird pains and fatigues and dizzyness, etc. go away. its not for keeps.) yes, things are getting desperate when the boys can't be men and also when boozehounds like myself can't even get up the energy to make a weekend trip to the home depot, much less down a bottle of tequila. *sigh* oh well, i've been uncool most of my life, i can certainly handle doing it again.

rat update: rei has 5 girls and 5 boys. i'll be putting up pics and naming them in the weeks to come. also, lucy's pneumonia is improving, but penny has a little hernia. nothing can really be done about a small rat hernia except see if it gets better by itself. it doesn't seem to be causing her any trouble so far, but if it gets bad the only option is youth in asia to avoid a horrible, painful death by bowel-twisting.

ok, i saw that movie, 28 weeks later and i just wanted to say wtf?! what kind of zombie has an eye-fetish and knows how to use a key-card?! and he was pretty much the *only* zombie in the whole film. the rest of the "zombies" were just running shadows. its only fun if you can see them rot. i also think there was too much focus on the living in this film. i saw way more scenes of  naive, but pulse-bearing children than the decomposing, flesh-hungry children i was expecting. and there were a lot of tiny plot holes that betrayed the writers' apathy for making a coherent film. actually, it seems to be accepted that horror movies in general are more about the shock value than whether or not the story makes sense. personally, i find this attitude disappointing. a lot of these movies start with an intriguing premise and then instead of building it into a working plot, they just leave the story hanging and fill the space with confusing, jumbled shots that may have been zombies (or the blair witch) or may have just been the camera dude falling over. can't we have a solid, well-planned story and a horde of insatiable undead? overall, i'd say 28 weeks later is good for a one-time viewing in the theater, especially if you have a vivid imagination, but i wouldn't buy it or even illegally download it. it just isn't worth a second look in my opinion.

ryan finally started cleaning up the house yesterday. he made the bedroom clean and got all the laundry off the bed... and when i went over to feed the rats this morning, there's *more laundry on the bed*. LAUNDRY DOES NOT GO ON THE BED!!!!! under any circumstances. unless you are using the bed to fold it, and then it must be quickly relocated before the bed becomes its permamnent resting-place. then you'll be sleeping in your tangled up garments and have to wear sheets like togas because you can't find your clean clothes. and socks get under the mattress and in your ears and its just a tragedy.
