even less charm than Aladdin

arishaSo on Tuesday night I was flipping through the channels and my favourite movie Amadeus was on Bravo again. Nothing terribly unusual but always a pleasant surprise, hehe. :) And so I watched it and was happy.
And then last night I was flipping through the channels again (during the Word, my least favourite part of Colbert Report, hahaha burn). And so I get to the CBC. And who is on my screen but Iseya, talking about whether there is a heaven or a hell.
Basically what I am trying to say is that my favourite movie After Life was on TV last night, and when I realized it I basically nearly fainted. Because oh man, talk about a movie I never ever expected to see on TV! Because it is foreign and it put the majority of my eleventh grade Japanese class to sleep. But there it was, presented as a part of CBC's "International Movie Night," haha. (Though I noticed they cut out that one minute of black screen. Which cracks me up. I would cut it out too, if I was showing this on TV.)
(One thing I don't get, though, is why Amadeus got a PG stuck in the corner of the screen and After Life got a 14A. Because I have no idea what there is in After Life that would bump it up even past a G. There is so much worse stuff in Amadeus than in After Life, even when it's not the Director's Cut, and I am just so confused.)
My two favourite movies being on TV one night after the other is pretty awesome, right?? XD Hahaha. So I was thinking it would be super hilarious if my favourite movie Aladdin was on tonight, but I didn't watch as much TV tonight and anyway it probably wasn't. :P
(Today I was continuing in my hardcore cleaning of my room and on one shelf alone I found six Aladdin books. Did you even know that many Aladdin books existed? And off the top of my head I can think of at least three more I would like to have. Hahaha. Which do you think is more embarrassing: my collection of Morning Musume, or my collection of Aladdin? Well either way my MoMusu collection is obviously inferior; I mean, when you have a Princess Jasmine PEZ dispenser it's no contest ...)
(On Saturday night while wandering the aisles of Safeway with a friend, we got to talking about my Disney/Miyazaki essay -- this is seriously the only thing I ever have to talk about anymore -- and she said that she finds a lot of Disney romances hard to swallow, because they are supposed to be all perfect and happy and stuff. She said she finds the romance in Aladdin to be preferable to a lot of other Disney romances for the simple fact that Al is a liar and he never stops being a liar and so it's still Disney but it's not like he's the perfect guy or anything. And I just think this is hilarious because I think it's hilarious that Al is such a liar all the time. And I wish my friends who like to talk about Disney themes knew the sequels as well as I do, because I'm always like, "Oh, and in KoT this happens--" and they're like, "What? There's a sequel?" Sigh.)
And here is an announcement that actually has to do with real life and not a whit with TV: I have decided to give in and just let my ear piercings grow over. Today I tried to put earrings in, to sort of save the piercings (stupid tactic I know), but then decided I was just not interested in forcing them through again. Well, that's a lie -- the right piercing is still just fine and dandy. WHY DO THEY COVER OVER AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AUGH I WOULD BE SO MUCH HAPPIER IF THEY WERE THE SAME. But anyway I haven't worn earrings since grad and it's ridiculous to think I'll just randomly start and it's ridiculous to think "augh but I spent thirteen dollars on these when I was ten" because that's just ridiculous. And augh I wish the marks would disappear, I don't want to look like I have pierced ears and not have pierced ears ... aaaaaaaugh well whatever.
So Athena, if you want some free earrings, let me know ... :P

And I kind of suspected you'd say that about the earrings. ;) I might still try to shove them onto my brother's girlfriend. Hahahaha.
