"make it pink! no make it blue!
you know how weekends are breaks from the work week? i know no such thing. at least that was the case for the past few weekends, so i was really grateful for this weekend having nothing scheduled. no large event or gathering, nothing i was obligated to or committed to attend. it was glorious! had a nice, quiet night in with my glenn and just watched sleeping beauty at my house on friday. i love that movie. it's my favorite disney movie. i dunno why, cuz when i think about it, i actually don't like the lesson that's presented. it makes the woman so passive, i mean, she sleeps most of the time, for goodness' sake! in the sense of life lessons and role models, i think the best would be beauty and the beast. belle is not only beautiful, but intelligent, willing to step outside the norm and not follow the crowd, and is able to see and appreciate the inner beauty and value of a creature who may look different. with all the diversity training i've had from uci, i think this is the most culturally and socially aware film from the disney archives, with lessons of tolerance of differences and stepping outside the box.
but i don't like her big yellow dress. and i think i was just really amused by the 3 good fairies in sleeping beauty. they were really adorable when they made themselves super tiny. and their fight when they were making the dress pink, then blue, then pink, then blue! i love it!

"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."
~unknown
"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
