So decided to buy the DVD, and really wanted to watch it. Three times have come and gone where I've started it, but never finished. Unlike some of the other animated movies, this one lacks something. Maybe it's a weak story. I say that because the animation is very well done. The imagemaps were great and the voices were well done, but the story lacked flare or zip. It drug through parts of the show, and there were only some parts that were funny enough to keep my attention. I generally like to rate movies based on my willingness to watch them again, OR if it's for kids I rate it on my 3 year olds desire to watch it. Usually she will watch a movie OVER and OVER again, like the stupid movie Elf, she won't stop watching it if it gets in the DVD. So as much as I want to love this movie, it gets about a 1 out 5 on the kid scale.
Sorry Robin, you're funny but the plot and it's movement couldn't pull it through.
I have been really blessed over the past 11 months to have a great contract job. The work has been very interesting and the people have been great. I'd like to give them all a shout to let them know how much I'll miss them and invite them to stop by here from time to time to check in, drop me a line.
A little about the group, they are a coldfusion development house, which allows them to do a lot of quick, high quality coding. They use Oracle for their dbase (BOOOooo) (just kidding Michael). I have never worked with such an intelligent group. They have PM's that actually know what is going on, and listen to the developer and the developers they are top notch. I have learned more from this group than I have any where else. The group consists of a great diversity of people. Gilligan, Ginger, Mary Anne, The professor, Skipper and the Howels were all there.
At all of my previous jobs, I worked with plenty of great developers, but for the second time I actually had to co-developers that were women. I bring it up for one reason. They were incredible! Both Cari and Alicia amazed me with what they were able to do. It might sound sexist, but I was surprised and impressed. They truly took the opinion I had gathered from my only other experience and turned that around. So thanks
There are so many people there that I would like to mention and how wonderful they are, but then if I miss someone I'll get hate mail, threats of mis-guided weapons etc. etc.
But seriously, Pat, Troy, Greg, Duane, Wayne, Teri, Cari, Alicia, Bryan, Dan A., Jeremy, Michael, Jim, Vijay, Clinton, Kent, Mark, Lynette and Scott you are all the best and thanks for the time I was able to spend with you.
And finally, Ed. I guess since it's my last day, this wouldn't be considered sucking up Thanks for everything, I have worked in many jobs, and I have yet to have a manager with your class, compassion and intelligence. You are what most managers should aspire to be. Thanks for everything!
So I saw flight plan this past weekend, and I won't give away the movie, so feel free to read on
When I first saw the previews of the movie I wasn't sure I really wanted to see it. I was afraid it would be another "Forgotten", which I wish I could forget. But my wife convinced me that maybe it was more.
So I sucked it up and decided to go see it. And I'm glad I did. Now it's not the best movie in the world, but they definately make you wonder what is happening throughout it. Is she crazy? Is there a conspiracy? What is going on?
The build up was definately a rush, the resolution made you think, but the ending brought it down a little bit for me. If I were to rate it, which I'm about to , I'd say it was a 3 out 5 Stars. Worth seeing if nothing else peeks your interest. Definately worth a rental.
No idea really, I'm testing out evoBlog for evo-dev to see how well it works and figured I might as well try the whole blogging thing out. You'll probably see political topics, computer topics, gaming topics etc. So we'll see what happens
The other evening, we had to bring my youngest into the hospital cause she was having issues breathing. She is only 15 months old, and had just gotten over pneumonia from 3 weeks prior. She was having problems breathing so we called up my father-in-law to watch our oldest (thank God for family). We take the forty minute drive to the hospital and get to see the doctor pretty quickly since breathing issues is a higher priority than most others.
I think it's a great thing that the hosptial does NOT take people in the order they arrive, but in the order of severity. As things like heart issues, breathing, broken limbs should definately have a higher priority than a runny nose.
They listen to my daughter here her wheezying and then give her a nebulizer treatment. She still has some problems, so they x-ray her to make sure it is not pneumonia (which it wasn't). So sadly we are facing the fact that our 1 year old has asthma and may have it for the rest of her life.
We are also give a steroid for her to help with the inflammation in her lungs, only side effect it might stunt her growth. Now that is a horrible thing for a 1 year old, so I know my wife and I would prefer to only give her it when it's needed vs. as a preventative.
Now we give her an inhailer with a little mask, and what makes me so sad, is we take it out and she'll walk up to it and place her face on it. It's a sad thing to see a 1 year old use to something like this already
