Ice Age: Hell on Earth with really cute squirrels

Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs was so close to suck, suck, sucking (and LARGE parts of the movie did) but then the dinosaurs came to play and the movie got funny but the misery of the beginning cannot be excused as I almost got up and left the theater from the intense awfulness.  On a side note, I could watch 90 minutes of the squirrel chasing his acorn and never talking, just screaming in horror as the acorn escapes his grasp, and there are two opossums which are equally enteratining and desrving of their own movie.  I did laugh and enjoy msyelf but the ride through hell to get there isn't worth the payoff.

Vikings won---yay, Twins lost---nay, the job hunt continues---nay, and the new Pearl Jam is a lot better than I thought possible---yay (??)
