(April 25, 2012) – Swinging into theaters April 20 with a $10.6 million opening-weekend performance, “Chimpanzee” proved so popular among audiences that Disneynature is extending the “See ‘Chimpanzee,’ Save Chimpanzees” conservation initiative for a second week. For every moviegoer who sees “Chimpanzee” through May 3, 2012, Disneynature will make a donation to the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund to protect chimpanzees today and tomorrow. “In theaters just five days, ‘Chimpanzee’ has already given us a lot to celebrate,” said Alan Bergman, president, The Walt Disney Studios. “Led by a young chimpanzee named Oscar, ‘Chimpanzee’ has won the hearts of audiences nationwide.

Zombie Mode…On

Uugghh....I think I got a total of 3 hours of sleep last night, and now I'm getting ready to go get the MRI on my knee.  I'll be glad to find out what's going on with it.  I'm praying that it doesn't end up being something that requires surgery.[yawns] Anyway, I've got a ton of reviews to try to get up today, plus stuff to post about from over the weekend.  I'll try to get on it once I get back later this morning. ...

This week has been way too long…

I have decided that I am way to young to be falling apart at the seams the way I have been, and I demand that Mother Nature, God, Fate and/or whoever has a hand in it to make it stop! I spent all day Monday at the Urgent Care Clinic, trying to find out what is wrong with my knee.  The pain and swelling hasn't gone away, even now, and it's nearly impossible to sleep since I can't lay it out flat.  After waiting nearly two hours, the doctor sent me across the highway to get a sonogram on my leg to make sure that I didn't have a blood clot.  That came back clear, so I was then told that I would have to have a MRI.  They need to take a look at the ligaments because there is a strong possibility that one of them is torn.  So, I've been sitting here all week since then waiting for whichever place they are sending me to call.    I should have just gone to my regular doctor and been done with it. As it stands know, I can barely walk around, let alone chase after Hannah, with the brace on.  ...
