Vet

Buckley, my georgeous black and white cat went to the vet today to be 'fixed'. Now both of my cats are desexed we don't have to worry about her getting out any more, though I'd still like her to be an inside cat. I'd hate for anything to happen to her, and she seems so happy to stay inside and sit on the couch next to me. It was a hard thing to leave her at the vet today, seeing her carried away in the plastic container I brought her in. You get so attached to pets, it's no wonder that people think of them as children. No doubt I'll end up a crazy cat lady in my old age.

I watched a movie today, Apocalypto. It's the Mel Gibson one, that he made after Passion of the Christ. To be honest I was a little scared of seeing this one. You see I saw Passion of the Christ at the cinema, and I was honestly traumatised by having seen it. I saw it with Mark, and we both sat in silence at Crown eating tea for a few hours afterwards. It was horrible, I never want to sit through it again. Anyway, in a few reviews that I read they said that this movie was worse than that, and I thought after how affected I was by Passion, how bad is this movie?!

But in the end I really enjoyed the story. It had a strong storyline, strong characters, a little mysticism and a fantastic ending. It was a well told and well filmed story. I will warn you that there is a lot of blood and lots of people die and get cut up so it is still a brutal story, but not in any way like I remember feeling after Passion. I've probably hyped it up a lot, but you could not pay me to see that movie again.

Off to see the wedding photos tomorrow! Yay!
