I now know why my parents hate me.

Ew. Ew. Ew. Never watching "Quest For Camelot" EVER again.
Because Cary Elwes is the voice of Garrett. I knew his voice really bothered me for some reason, but I didn't know why.
Okay, when you look on the back of the movie, it doesn't look like there's anyone famous enough to have their name put on the back, but hello? Pierce Brosnan, Cary Elwes (ewwww), Celine Dion, Gary Oldman, Don Rickles, and Eric Idle provide the voice talents for this movie. Wows.
"The King and I" was even worse. I guess the filmmakers decided if they smushed 2 hours of plot, a few of the award-winning songs, and tons of "hilarious" slapstick humor into 90 minutes of cartoon, it would be great AND kid-friendly.
Not so much.
The songs were great...except Anna Leonowens had the MOST ANNOYING singing voice ever. Too breathy, and she sounded like the mom from "The Swan Princess".
Aaagh, just too awful. It was pretty racist, too. Master Little? Painful. And they gathered elements from ALL Asian cultures and tried to pass it off as Siamese.
The worst part? They didn't even use the theme from the original "The King and I".
However, Tuptim and Chululongkorn sang "I Have Dreamed", my absolute FAVORITE song from the original film (even though it technically wasn't in the original one).
Oh yeah, the delectably shirtless Lun Tha was missing, replaced by a grown-up Chululongkorn. Lol. And Tuptim was a flower arranger instead of a concubine, because concubines are not family appropriate. And, you know, it would be really awkward if the Crown Prince wanted to get with the girl his dad has been sleeping with.
Aaagh, Louis kept forgetting to put on his British accent. Kralahome = so evil. But he didn't even wear a skirt!
ROFL, there's a board on IMDB for "The King and I" entitled: I was on the staff of this movie and even I hate it.
So I'm watching it again this afternoon.
AAAAAAAH I FOUND A DRESS FOR FRESHMAN!!!!
It's a black halter with pinkish polka dots and netting under the skirt. I also got Vans that look like slippers to go with it.
So pumped.

Red velvet...it's like eating an ugly but delicious-tasting kitten.

I just started "White Fang" and am more than halfway through already. White Fang is sort of messed up. I know he's quite wolfish (at least a quarter wolf blood), but all he does is kill things and hate people. He ate a kitten once. It sounded kind of gross and sad, because I love kittens and I could hear it purring, but kind of good at the same time, seeing as I am attracted to all things meat.
Connor stepped on my shoes and I was like, "Rawr!"
Connor, Kevin, and I are going to play "Winnie the Pooh" together. Yeah.
I made hot dogs for aliens and New Yorkers yesterday.
Online, of course.
I hate Mondays.
"Animal Farm" is great. Too bad I've already read it.

I can feel you all around me

I heard that song on the radio the other day, and I sort of liked it, but for the most part it way got on my nerves.
Yay, wearing new jeans as well as shoes. You have no idea how GOOD it feels to be able to slip off my shoes whenever, instead of wearing stupid Converse that take forever to lace up. They're really comfortable, too. If I'd known that, I would've bought a pair a LONG time ago, instead of writing them off as "emo shoes" while I was secretly obsessed with them.
Mr. Henrichsen was at school today. He's not bad as a teacher, but I miss Mr. Campbell. I understood the text, though, which is new. I guess taking notes does help? I understood math, too. This is definitely a bad omen, but it was pretty fun. We had to figure out how some teacher in Alaska could do math tricks. Pretty shweet.
Pre-AP was pretty cool, because we didn't have to do any work, but we had to listen to a guest speaker, which was pretty unbearable. :P He was very confusing and I couldn't really see any point in his coming. First he was telling us that you need to stick with school, then he told us that school doesn't matter because you need to work hard, and working hard you can do anything, but THEN he said none of that mattered cuz life sucks. Um, WHAT???
They made Thursdays 5 minutes longer. That doesn't seem like a long time, but those were some pretty agonizing 5 minutes. I was all done with my science notes at 12:30, but thanks to the extra 5 minutes, I had to take even more. Curse you.
So science AND math homework, but it's easy, and someone found "Congo" for me. How nice. I'd been wanting to read it over break, but I guess I left it at school. All right then. I'm still on page 79, lol.
