Some Animal Pictures and Randomosity

I was feeling icky earlier today (actually thought I was coming down with the flu for a bit there, but ginger tea, charcoal, and acid water from the Kangen machine have intervened for a happy tummy. I subscribe to the shotgun approach), and as a result haven't really done anything super productive today. So instead I'll post pictures of some various animals and complain a bit. XD

Javert being...Javert. He's one weird dog. 

I think I'm going to request to not work on Saturdays at DQ anymore. I enjoy working during the week, because we only have a few people and actually get stuff done while enjoying each other's company. (For the most part.) But on weekends there are a lot of people (10 just for today) and everyone was chatting, taking their good old time, not tending to the customers, etc. I felt like the only person who was actually trying to work. -.- I'd much rather work more hours during the week than three hours of bumping into idle people on the weekends. 

Javert has broken his tennis ball, finally. He must have had it for a year before it split, but he still plays with it. 

And his rope too.

My root beer that I mentioned earlier was a flop...I let it ferment too long and it was nasty. Next time I'll let it go for 2 days and then strain off the grains, because this way it was disgusting. I had to toss it out. :/

(The Gookster! I've petitioned to change her name from 'Gooky', which is a contraction of 'good kitty', to 'Bakky', which is a contraction of 'bad kitty'. So far no one has taken me up on it.)

Yeah, she's a pretty cat and she knows it. She's currently sprawled out behind my computer because it's warm. -.-

So I've been reading some other reviews for Les Mis, and I'd have to say that the viewing camps have settled into two: the 'I loved it, and appreciate mostly everything about it' camp, and the vitriolic 'this was the worst movie I've ever seen and anyone who liked it was an idiot' camp. 

I would identify somewhere in between, because while I loved it as an adaptation it's still not up to Brick standards. (Nothing ever will, I know, BUT STILL.) I'll probably only watch it once or twice a year in the future because I can only handle so much emotional trauma.

What I don't understand is the people who decide that they hate it, and then spew that hatred and vitriol and attack the actors on a personal level. It's very petty, and shows a huge lack of class. Just because YOU don't like something, doesn't mean that you have to mock everyone who happens to like it, especially when it comes to a story that's impacted people for over 150 years and will still to do so long after the 'hating' opinion is completely forgotten.

This is a cat from a house that I clean. Both cats find my bag and my boots absolutely fascinating, and I have no idea why.

Okay. I'm done. You may go back to your daily life.
