Last Monday, I went to Jimmy's new apartment after work. I met his sister, we went to get dinner and then grocery shopping, and then ended up on his couch watching Finding Nemo. I had never seen it before, which caused a minor controversy when I first told Disney- and Pixar-obsessed Richie. I just didn't really have any interest in watching a kid's movie about fish, especially when there were so many other movies that were more deserving of my adult time (like Knocked Up and Clueless). But I finally agreed, and we watched the movie.
And it was AWESOME.
It was funny, and sweet, and I cried (of course). Ellen DeGeneres can make anything better, in my opinion, and this was no different. This movie was so good. I still can't believe I hadn't seen it before. I've decided to reevaluate all the friends I've had and yell at them for never making me watch it before.
Jimmy was very excited about his new extra-large HDsomething something TV. I personally don't care one bit about whether a TV is HD or LCD or flatscreen or 20 inches or 60. It just makes no difference to me. My aunt and uncle have a TV that's like 64 inches or something ridiculous like that...and it makes my head hurt. It is great for playing the Wii, though.
But I digress. After watching the movie, I decided that I needed to get a fish.
So on Wednesday, he met me after work and we went to Petco to get my fish. And the photo at the top of this post is Winston! He's a betta, and I had to buy all the special crap that goes with bettas, but he seems to like his new home. I even colored a picture of the fish tank gang from Finding Nemo and put it on the wall next to him for him to look at. Everyone thinks I'm crazy, but I swear it's making him smarter. I think he's a fishy genius.
so cool! I still can't believe you'd never seen Nemo- it's definitely one of my favorites :)
