I would like for a weekend where my dog does not wake me at 9am. She is cruel and smacks me in the face.

I think it is delightful that the national zoo has a wish list for their animals.

Ben and I just got back from seeing beowulf. We opted out of the 3D version which would have been $5 more per ticket. I had a hard time telling if it was a parody or a dark re-telling of the poem. Sometimes I was laughing out loud and other times it was too gruesome to look at the screen.

However, I am extremely disappointed that there were no bees in the film. That is my favorite part of the poem. But the movie has no bees!

I may have to write to neil gaiman about this. No bees! Can you believe it?

Bees?

I saw Beowulf with Tara on Saturday!
We were squealy Neil fan girls it was fun!
We were walking into the theater trying to figure out the story. We both had a hard time trying to remember what we "read" in Sister Karen's class. I like to call her version the "Fast forward approach" to great literature. Seeing as how for Beowulf, The Iliad, and The Odessy we got those photocopied hand out and she just told us the basics of the stories.
But I did remember about the loss of limb = death.
And Tara thought there was something about bees.
You're going to have to let her know she was right after all.
