Crossed Wires

Tagged: ,

These are two completely unrelated thoughts.

One is a memory. Just before Lachlan and Geraldine left Seattle, I took them to eat hot pot at a Sichuanese restaurant. While we were pulling in to the restaurant, I was trying out my Short Round impression on them. As we were leaving, I was doing some other impression of like a funny conversation with a hairdresser or taxi driver or some other everyday occupation except that I had my wires crossed and it was more like Short Round the Taxi Driver. Anyone remember what that occupation was?

The other one is a yearning. My girlfriend and I recently watched The Lion King over the weekend and I want to draw some sort of parallel between the movie and this election. It doesn’t work; there are none. I think I just have my wires crossed again.

P.S. Mufasa’s death? Still super freaking sad. Re-watching this has just solidified the idea that Disney are far better at creating sad moments than happy ones.

More?

Hm, I still cry during the end of the little mermaid, when Ariel says, “I love you, Daddy.” I’m not sure if that’s supposed to be a sad moment or a happy one. Probably a happy one.

@poodlegoose I sat through The Little Mermaid once as a child and while I have fond memories of enjoying the “Under The Sea” number, I did not like the rest of the movie and haven’t been back to watch it since. I can’t even remember what happened in the end.
