Great that it turned out that well. Sounds like a real hair raising experience.

Somehow this sounds like a start of a good comedy. Course I'm sure at this point it doesn't seem so funny for you. Hang in there.

Yes to all points. At a weeks remove the car accident is looking funnier, not so with the cat, but thats life really.

I saw Scott Pilgrim vs the World, and there's a good reason why most movie theaters pulled it after two weeks. I was so non-impressed that I almost walked out. At best it felt mediocre, and at worse, I wished that I had a lighter so I could burn the reel and end the projector's misery.

Huh, I actually thought the movie was kinda neat. For the most part. Although as I was telling my roommate, there were times when the movie felt really stupid and I hated it, but then it did something that I thought was neat... and the cycle continued throughout the entire movie.
It might have simply been the whole video game idea that I thought was cool that made the movie not suck to me. Though I've always been the sort that thought a live action 'anime' with all the goofy facial features would be awesome.

This...
and this.
I got over all the video game tropes extremely fast and by the end I really thought they hurt it (when outside the "boss fights"). For some reason, after a while it seemed like they were trying to make a stereotypical "anime" influenced movie then a video game influenced movie. But then since the comic book was "manga-like" to the point where it could be classified as Amerimanga, it didn't surprise me.
One thing which also hurt it was how by the numbers the plot was. Sure part of the "vegan" boyfriend's defeat surprised be due to the randomness of it, but as soon as the guy said "I'm vegan" I knew what his Achilles heel was. As sad as it is (bckground wise), I thought the movie would be like 10x better if most of the pre-Romona scenes were left on the cuttingroom floor (and yes, I realize the were meant to show how emotionless and empty Scott's relationship with Knives was, but it did it to the point of being detrimental to my overall enjoyment of the movie). But then that's what happens when you take a 6 year long story and condense it to a 2 hour movie.

Good luck. That series also felt very inconsistent in it's writing.
