You're getting just a little too familiar with your cat's maladies when you know what the vet's going to prescribe before he's even examined.

Clavamox. Again. Yet another UTI[1], this one described as "raging" (which I find a little disturbing, because I *know* symptoms can't have started too much before last night). In for a follow-up in two weeks. Took him home, gave him the first pill, and stacked boxes up in the living room doorway to reduce the odds of his dribbling on the rug. Then took [livejournal.com profile] dolston to lunch for his forbearance while playing taxi.

In other news, Friday is my last day and I think I am very safely assured of getting a good reference from working here.

Half an hour until I'm out of here. Will probably be staying late tomorrow; furball took two and a half hours out of my work day, and I would like to make those up.

...oddly enough, I liked it.

I really didn't expect to. Superman's always seemed kind of bland.

It was a fun movie, and there is something to watching people being saved from certain death. Touched on what Superman means to people, as well as just what he can do.

Addendum: I haven't seen eyes that blue since Robert Redford. Contacts. But suitable contacts.

Luthor was hammed up. He had a grandiose plan that missed a couple of practical considerations and seemed to be influenced a great deal by whims and was obsessed with our hero and had amusingly mookish sidekicks--

--so yeah, aside from not wearing purple and green all the time and not smiling like a shark on Prozac, you're basically dealing with a sanitized Joker.

The Jesus touches were nice; I didn't find them overwhelming, although Jor-El's voiceover was a little heavy-handed (also, he sounded like the narrator for Watership Down).

This sounds apathetic, and I'm really not; I'd happily watch it again, and I'm glad I saw it. It was good. It just wasn't good in any way that lends itself to deep analysis; here is a noble hero who inspires others to greatness, here is the woman he loves, here is the villain, here is what he does.

...comfortable, you know?
