Sunday, Feb. 01, 2004 | 1:29 a.m. | Containing a long rant about Disney and particulars of Instant Messaging

**all instant message logs will now have screen names removed. because the elitist says im'd me the other night demanding to know who i was and why i was on their buddy list.

as if i had any control over that. what a moron.

strange hours: i love destroying the saccharine myths of childhood.
miss e-: Because the myths of childhood are bullshit?
miss e-: *grins*
strange hours: especially those of disney.
miss e-: Damn Disney should be shot for what it does to these stories. Proof in point: the commercials for the reissue of their horrid Alice in Wonderland.
strange hours: ack
miss e-: I know. Little dumb blonde girl gets lost.
strange hours: like all of disney's other indistinguisible blond girls
miss e-: Nevermind all the darkness, weirdness, and Victorian politics.
miss e-: In fact I don't think I can ever see their Peter Pan ever again. I may become violent.
strange hours: likewise.
miss e-: Esp their Wendy after the delightful, tres Edwardian ms. hurd wood.
strange hours: well, disney was in dogey waters when i was 13 and figured out that the lion king was just a re-make of bambi, only with predators.
strange hours: and they totally blacklisted themselves when they did one of victor hugo's classic novels where everyone dies at the end and turned it into a kid's movie with happy jolly singing gargoyles.
strange hours: but i've said as much before.
miss e-: I liked Disney up until Beauty and the Beast. Seeing that and what they did to to The Little Mermaid set my teeth on edge and I've been bitch ever since. ;)
strange hours: and goddamn, if i ever have to hear dick van dyke attempt a cockney accent again, i swear i will start screaming obscenities and try to bludgeon him to death with his own chimneysweep.
miss e-: omg I know. That was the worst offence by far. Again, scrap the social commentary and try to make an adult novel a movie for kidws. Who was smoking what when that idea was pitched?
strange hours: apparently, it wasn't as good as the stuff the author was smoking when they wrote the original.
miss e-: Again, painful. Along with the sufferagist mom that was about a decade too late and another five years too early for the next wave.
strange hours: bedknobs and broomsticks was all right though.
strange hours: though the title sounds waaaaaayyyy more perverse now that i'm older.
miss e-: I liked B&B just because it was fun and wasn't meant to be taken at all seriously. And I must have watched the underwater sequence at least fifty times as a child.
strange hours: heh
strange hours: yes. disney's one successful attempt at having animated sequences mesh with live action.
strange hours: where the clothes start walking?
miss e-: Yep!
strange hours: i loved that
miss e-: Me too me too. I wanted my clothes to do that.

the only nice thing about my kitchen being an ice box with a consistent temerature of 40 ° is that it makes all other rooms in the apartment seem lovely and warm in comparison. also, if you forget and leave the milk out on the table, it's ok.

the downside of this is that you find yourself jumping up and down to keep warm while doing the dishes. i think it irritates the downstairs neighbor.
