CCU Closed

The critical care unit has officially been closed. SpyC is back to near normal (was there ever a normal?) and is progressing in her recovery quite nicely. We, or maybe just me, were a little worried about how she'd fare when I had to return to work two days post-op, but it turns out she didn't need me. Sniff, sniff. She did just fine and continues to do just fine. She had a check-up this past week and the doc said she's doing fine. Hooray for her.

SpyC and I had dinner with her parents last night at the Elephant Bar, one of my favorite chain resteraunts. SpyC, her mum and I decided to see "The DaVinci Code" after dinner. We quite enjoyed the movie. It was very different from the book in several places, but the end result was the same and I thought they did a nice job. I was suprised, at one point, that a detail not in the book was added when so many details from the book were deleted. Interesting. But it was all the same. I enjoyed the movie and plan on adding it to my library when it is released.

For those who know me, I don't have a movie library, but I do buy movies from those that I support, usually for political reasons... like when I bought Michael Moore's "Farenheit 9/11." I had to buy it just to support him. Same for DaVinci... I think Dan Brown is a good author and I like his alternate, although ficticious, portrayal of the Catholic church. The Church and I don't get along, in case you didn't know. And we bought "Brokeback Mountain" for the same reason... to support gay cinema because the Christian right doesn't. Gee, could that be why the church and I don't get along? One of the many reasons, I'm sure. SpyC and I like thumbing our noses at the masses, and buying movies like the ones mentioned, and our very near purchase of the Dixie Chick's new album is one of the ways we do it.
