And while we're at it...

Michelle is on her way with Jami to the Urgent Care office at Children's Mercy North - a far cheaper alternative to the emergency room. He's on round two of this head thing-y, and round 2 is always worse. We just figured that it would be better to get him in, get some meds, be pro-active, rather than waiting until Monday for the regular doc and keeping him miserable for longer than is strictly necessary. Of course, by that same action, we're also avoiding the risk of another eardrum blowout, which is always a good thing.

He's an unhappy boy, but at least what he suffers from now isn't rare or life-threatening, a far cry from two years ago.

We watched Wall-E this afternoon. Heavy handed and preachy, but all in all an amazing movie. If I felt better I'd have cried like a baby at the end when Eve rebuilds him and...

Well, don't want to spoil it for you, if you haven't seen it. We'll be adding it to the collection.

We also watched the Patrick Stewart version of A Christmas Carol. I know I'm in the minority on this, but I find Stewart to be a one-note actor. He plays the note well, but he's not particularly exciting to watch. He did far better work on ST:TNG. The movie was boring, the directing ham-handed, and the cinematography was flat. (And whose idiotic idea was it to give the Ghost of Christmas yet to Come glowing eyes but human hands? He's like a seven foot jawa...) The only standout in the cast was Bernard Lloyd, in the role of Jacob Marley, onscreen for too brief a time.

Glad your boy's OK. Nasty business that.

I thought the same thing about Wall-E. You need to see Bolt though. It's fully awesome.

Thanks for the well wishes :) He's a tough little boy, and already been through a lot. His biggest concern was if they'd have "rolling beds" - gurneys. He's been on more than his fair share of those for someone of his age.

He'll bounce.

The short that came with Wall-E - about the magician with the magic hat and which title I can't remember - had me laughing hard enough to hurt. Totally manic, but with the control that only animation can lend.

I'm looking forward to Bolt. The pigeons in the preview have me sold.

LOVED the short

Really did not care for Wall-E.
