batskeetsBack to wushu tonight, at laaaaast. It's going to hurt, but bleh, missing practice always puts me out of sorts. Grrrr, must stay healthy.
We've been making our way through movies mentioned during the Oscar show the other night. So far, we've seen Doubt, which was pretty good, and all nominations there were well-deserved. Then, last night, it was The Reader last night, and wow, that movie kind of sucked. XD But, Kate Winslet *was* really good in it. But, then again, she's really good in pretty much everything.
I find myself wanting a puppy or a kitten really badly, as of late. Every time I see a posting on LJ or Craigslist for some poor kitten who needs a home, it takes all the restraint I have not to contact them and say "YES GIVE ME KITTENS PLZ." I do like living with other people, but there's also something appealing about the notion of coming home to a much lower-key space: just Boy in the corner working on his various things, and a beloved pet poking about my room in that unbearably cute (and sometimes vaguely destructive) way that animals do.
But, meh, I'd always have to run it by the friggin' committee back at the house first, and that stops me in my tracks. I suspect it wouldn't actually be *that* hard to talk them into it, because most aren't even against it, but there was enough cat drama the last time around that I don't particularly want to deal with it. And, I suppose I do still spend too much time away from home to get any sort of dog, be it puppy or adult. In reality, there are just too many warm bodies in the house already.
But, MAN, I want fuzzy snuggly animals. How did I ever live without one?
