the disney d

  1. one pm. that's what time i woke up today. it felt amazing. granted, i was awake til 2 am reading my new book. 
  2. had no classes but i was still semi-productive.
  3. ate a delicious dinner and had delicious ice cream for dessert! i'm excited for this weekend. 
i watched aladdin tonight and it made me want to be a little kid again. aladdin was always a great disney movie, but i never could decide if it was my favorite. i really loved sleeping beauty (i thought the fairies were really cool), but watching it now makes me realize how simplistic it is, because it was the first one made. lion king was always great, but sad. the little mermaid? enough said. but it's interesting watching these movies as a semi-adult because i catch all the innuendos and subtleties. also, i took a fairy tales class and it forever changed how i think about disney movie portrayals of classic fairy tales. really? a whole new world, ariel? like...the men's world, up above the women's world of the ocean? wow, sexist. there are many examples of these sorts of things. you can google them if you're interested. for now, i think i will watch the jungle book next...and keep reading my book. cheers!
