You mean the unfortunate hamsters are trying to compensate for you, **Nanook**. 😉

I really wanted to take my kids to see _Whale Rider_ a few weeks ago. What’s more, _I_ wanted to see it. Sadly, it seems that it is only playing in two theatres in “the area”… one is 30 miles away and the other is 40. So much for the vibrant cinema scene in Seattle. I’ll probably have to wait for DVD. Dammit.

Hey, you’re right **Peach** … it’s playing in Port Orchard, very near where I am now. Thanks for the tip!

Just hit “submit” once. If you get an error message, go back to the post, Ctrl+C it, and refresh the window to see if it posted. THEN repost it if it didn’t take.
