They were fun to watch, definately Tarantino movies though, which makes them hard for me to rate on a 1-10 scale. They&#8217;re on the high end, but I really can&#8217;t decide if I just liked them or loved them. Maybe I&#8217;ll need to watch again in the near future (they say you notice more things the second time anyway).<\/p>\n<p>We also picked up a couple fish this past week. They&#8217;re a couple of White Skirt Tetras. I decided that I really like tetras, they&#8217;re decently sized fish for our 35 gallon tank (grow to about 2 inches), they&#8217;re pretty, they school, and the angelfish don&#8217;t bother them. I&#8217;m really happy with how our little fish community is coming along, Michael is doing a fabulous job with it (he takes care of the fish, I take care of the cat).<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the cat&#8230; I read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/users\/sioned\/82977.html\">an entry<\/a> of <lj user=\"sioned\">&#8216;s, where she talked about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catster.com\">catster.com<\/a>. I quickly learned that it was a site for showing off your cat, and it gives you the ability to make little blogs for your cat. Ahh cat blogs! Now Caligula already has <a href=\"http:\/\/caligula.bevilacqua.us\">his own subdomain<\/a>, but how could I resist giving him a catster site so he could link up with his friends? I couldn&#8217;t! So now Caligula has his own catster.com site: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catster.com\/?105180\">www.catster.com\/?105180<\/a>.<lj-cut><\/p>\n<p>While surfing the web yesterday I discovered <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ifilm.com\/ifilmdetail\/2661402?htv=12\">an IFilms.com page<\/a> which gave a 3 minute glimpse into the &#8220;Making of Wallace and Gromit&#8221; the Movie! After watching it I updated <a href=\"http:\/\/wallaceandgromit.net\">wallaceandgromit.net<\/a> and then I went off to read livejournal entries. I then began to wonder if there was a wallace and gromit community. There must be! But I can&#8217;t seem to find one. Very strange, Wallace and Gromit tend to have a pretty geeky cult following, and many of the people I know on livejournal are geeky. Well, I decided to start one of my own <lj user=\"wallacegromit\"> (wallaceandgromit was too long by one letter). I was going to update the community with all the posts I had posted on wallaceandgromit.net over the past year, but apparently you can&#8217;t backdate on communites. Oh well. I&#8217;ve updated it with the latest one, and I&#8217;ll continue to update it with whatever I put on wallaceandgromit.net. Of course anyone can post news and information, and I think with the release of the film in October of this year the piles of information coming in is going to become unmanagable for just me %)<\/p>\n<p>Besides making kitty websites and wallace and gromit communities yesterday, we went over to Michael&#8217;s mother&#8217;s house for a &#8220;family gathering&#8221; &#8230; which I&#8217;m not terribly fond of. I only knew a few people, and I tend to be shy in big groups anyway. We felt obligated to go though, since we hadn&#8217;t seen Michael&#8217;s mother since before Christmas, and we needed to exchanged gifts. Family gatherings are always exhausting, even when I don&#8217;t mingle much, and this was no exception, but we did get our gifts %) His mother bought us a very nice set of silverware (we have what I like to call &#8220;the bachelor set&#8221; right now, they don&#8217;t exactly match), and some nice knives. Yay! She even bought Caligula a few gifts. A stuffed animal cat that meows or purrs when you touch it (he kept attacking it when we brought it home), a &#8220;Thing in a Bag&#8221; which makes noise and make Caligula go crazy trying to figure out what&#8217;s going on, and his favorite (ok, my favorite)&#8230; a remote controlled mouse!<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/caligula.bevilacqua.us\/images\/caligulaRemoteMouse.jpg\" alt=\"Caligula Chases Remote Controlled Mouse\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I also got a movie of him playing with it (sorry for the lousy quality, the filesize would have been huge, or the movie really short if I had done it at a high quality): <a href=\"http:\/\/caligula.bevilacqua.us\/movies\/caligulaMouse.avi\">http:\/\/caligula.bevilacqua.us\/movies\/caligulaMouse.avi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now I need to go get ready to go out from some Mexican food<br \/>\n with friends %d<\/p>\n<p>*wanders off*<\/lj-cut><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I finally say Kill Bill Volumes 1 &amp; 2.
