My family.

So, felis_sidus taught our cat a good way to take pills. We say to Boopsie, "Pill first, then treat." Then we give her the pill, and then give her a treat. So, while she doesn't LIKE getting a pill, she knows she gets a treat with it, and tolerates it.

This morning, Lis woke up with a headache, so I offered to get her some water and some ibuprofen. Because the cat was snuggled up on her foot, so she couldn't move. 'Cause, KITTY!!! YAY!!!

So I brought her the ibuprofen, and the water, and she took the pills and said, "Where's my treat?"

"What?"

"When you give the cat a pill, she gets a treat. Where's my treat? I think you should get me one of those white chocolate covered cookies."

So I did.

Movies

So. . . I was just poking around various movie sites, and I discovered a couple things.

First, I apparently missed a movie, "District B-13", which is a crime/martial arts movie set in near-future Paris, and starring one of the guys who developed parkour. Damn. Why didn't anyone TELL me about this one in time? I'm going to have to get it on DVD.

Second. . . okay, so, for whatever reason, there are always two of any concept in movies no matter how unique you'd think it was. Two "asteroid hitting the earth" pictures at once, two "volcano" disaster pics, two remakes of "The Posideon Adventure", (one being made-for-TV), two "CGI-animated bug movies" . . .

But, c'mon -- THREE big-screen adaptations of "Beowulf"? And they ALL look good?
