snarklyboojumOnly not really, because it's cold outside and I hate seafood. Still, I'm here! Forgive me el jay, it's been ages since my last confession.
You know, upon re-reading that last sentence, it occurs to me I still may be a little crazy from the traditional Easter chocolate gorging. Mmmm, Cadbury.
Work has been...not worth it lately. The bills are piling up and it's just getting way too stressful. The animals are still awesome, it's just the management that screws it all up. And about ninety percent of the employees are sick, myself included. This doesn't bode well.
Since it's looking more and more likely that he's going to move in with us permanently, I've taken upon myself to introduce my nephew (now 12) to some of the finer points of pop culture. We're starting small with Awesome Films Of Yesteryear. He adored King Kong, thought Ferris Bueller's Day Off was the funniest thing ever (a child after my own heart), and is making plans for acquiring Moulin Rouge on DVD, though I think that has more to do with can-can dancing and lingerie than a particular desire for cinematic excellence. The latest endeavor was The Princess Bride, before which we had this discussion:
Any suggestions for movies he might like?
Oh! I almost forgot. I'm working on another batch of Threadless icons, mostly from the out of print sections. If there's one you'd like to see iconized, leave me a comment and I'll see what I can do. Here's the first batch, to avoid doubles.

The Nephew: *eyes the Dread Pirate Roberts dvd* The Princess Bride. I dunno... Is there any violence?I kid you not. Needless to say he loved it. He was pretending to be a R.O.U.S. all night and jump on me every chance he got. Although he laughed for ages when he heard Mandy Patinkin's name. He changed his tune right around the first sword fight, oddly enough. ;) (Btw, Prince Humperdink and Count Rugen are totally gay for eachother, just thought I'd mention.)
Me: *smiles* Are you kidding? Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, escapes, true love, miracles...
TN: Giants?
Me: Yup. Andre the Giant is almost a bad guy.
TN: Sweet! Sounds cool...we can try it for a while and if it sucks I can play my PSP.
Me: Thank you. Your vote of confidence is overwhelming.
