my sister and i went to the movies on friday night and saw the new cartoon version of 'horton hears a who'. i absolutely loved it, but i love pretty much any dr. seuss ever. the voices were spectacular, the story was good, the animation was pretty, all in all it's a great kids movie that adults will still like. and it's dr. seuss, i mean, come on, he's a genius! but this post isn't about seeing the movie, but about something i read on slate dot com this morning. apparently at the premiere of horton, a bunch of anti abortion activists stood outside and were chanting horton's tag line "a person's a person, no matter how small." and i think if you want to take the tag line and use it at your anti abortion protest somewhere else, fine (although dr. seuss's widow does not approve). but why go to a g rated movie premiere to stand outside and chant? it's not like the movie's about abortion or anything. what the hell were they protesting? people are annoying.
anyway. my weekend was jam packed with stuff and i'm exhausted. kentucky made the dance, 11 seed and they have a tough first game, but i'll keep my fingers crossed. dad's side of the family came to visit so we relived a ton of the hospital/surgery stuff that i'm really done talking about/reliving. so that was stressful. my pastor has already done my seminary recommendation and put it in the mail! wahoo! i just need to do my taxes and send in my financial aid stuff.

ok. back to work! happy st. patricks day everyone!
love you all
