Reason #6,342 I’m a dork

I love reading other blogs about what people (who aren’t paid to) are reading/watching/listening to but I often forget to blog about those kinds of things myself.

We watched Sorority Row last night while I worked on our taxes and what was hilarious about it was that our friend J hasn’t seen Scream. Definite bonus points for creative death and dismemberment.

I’ve been on a kick lately – I rewatched The Little Mermaid a couple of weeks ago and then put the soundtrack on my Zune. I remember being at Danielle’s house and singing along with the movie (I swear we knew the whole film by heart) more times than I should ever admit to. We also spent an absurd amount of time watching The New Mickey Mouse Club. Yes, I know.

The music is great – better than the film, really. According to the film, in order to win your man you should seem vacuous and behave somewhat dangerously. Go team GIRLS. Also, Disney gutted the very best parts of the HCA story – the parts that made it REALLY compelling – but whatever. I have two places in my heart – one for the pretty and fun Disney version and the other for Hans Christian Andersen’s truly awesome tale.

Because of this, I rented The Princess and the Frog. I’ve got to say that I like it a lot. I wasn’t really tempted to see Mulan at all (possibly because I thought Pocahontas was TERRIBLE) so Disney is possibly trying to win me back. Or doesn’t care about me at all and will keep churning out their crap because it makes them metric asstons of cold, hard cash. Anyhow, the music in the movie is pretty great as well and for the first time EVER, I’m tempted to check out the “inspired by the movie” cd I saw in the store.

Tonight’s dinner was homemade Green Chili Chorizo in Queso Fundido and it was fantastic. We’re watching Best in Show – a film that despite a hundred viewings NEVER fails to crack me up.

Funny for completely DIFFERENT reasons (and no less entertaining) XXX, which is also on. We’re flipping back and forth because we have the attention spans of labrador retrievers.
