Movies (and rants)

Rants:
1)My dog is not chubby. He may be a breed known for looking like sausages, but he is lean and athletic! The dog sitter called him chubby. They have a beef going – he doesn’t like her at all, and she tries to hard to get Jackson to like her.
2) I would never tell a parent I don’t have time to tutor their child. However much I do not plan to stay after school (The dog needs his potty break! I have to excape this place!) if a child really did need it I would help. I have been burnt in the past though – one mother took advantage and it turned into basically babysitting of her 4 kids. Anyway, I’m not going to tutor a B student who is already overbooked in her scheduled social life. And, if she doesn’t a) do the study guide b) tell her parents she has an extra credit opportunity c) study for the test then yes, she earned her D, making her grade C+ (79, and I’m not rounding that.) I don’t care if baby is an honor student. She messed up. She didn’t do the work. Not my issue anymore!

Okay, onto this movie meme that I spotted at Yarn Utopia
As seen at Ma Hatfield’s blog:

“It’s been alleged that if you’ve seen over 85 movies you have no life. Mark the ones you’ve seen. There are 239 films on this list. Copy this list, go to your own blog, paste it in and put x’s by the ones that you have seen. Add them up, figure out whether you’ve got a life or not, and post it.”

  1. I’ve only seen 59 of those movies, yet I don’t necessarily feel like I have a life. . . I guess I need to watch more movies! And knit, can’t forget knitting!

  2. I’m with Susan – not counting the ones I’ve fallen asleep through, I’ve only seen 58. And yet some (my kids) would say – I need to get a life. ;)PS – Jackson’s a cutie!

  3. I have more than you, but I will never reveal how many more, kinda like women never reveal their age or weight.However, I had no idea that the Ewoks had their own movie. And I am a bit put out that you are on my blogroll, but never seen the Harry Potter 2,3,4. How can this be?? 🙂 Is there hope for us to really get along? :}}
