From the Flash to Michigan J. Frog in one day....

[fajrdrako]

Oddly enough, it was a day for cartoons.

I went to josanpq's place for brunch and we watched JLA cartoons. Loved the "Justice Lords" and their spiffy costumes. Loved the Flash of course: I always do like the currey hyper cartoon version, though I always have a hell of a time remembering he's Wally not Barry. (Early conditioning there.) I always want to see more of Batman. Or maybe I mean, hear more of him: his voice is wonderful.

It was great to see chinae and lmondegreen and everyone else who was there. josanpq gave me a wonderful Russell Crowe poster, bless her heart. I love it, and I haven't even seen Master and Commander yet. (Many people are incredulous about that, but hey, it's only been on a few days. Just because I'm a men-in-tall-ships junkie! Give me another 24 hours!)

Over dinner, I watched some classic Loony Tunes cartoons. I've seldom seen these: never watched them much as a kid and didn't really like them, and so never wanted to watch them as an adult. But they were showing some classics, ones I'd heard about and never seen, and I see what people mean when they say they are clever. Not so funny in my opinion, but clever social satire. My favourite: Michigan J. Frog.

Funny: I remember these characters primarily from my Disney-kin like toys, rather than the cartoons themselves. I loved those toys.

I worked on a Smallville slash story, "Summa Cum Laude".

I made bread pudding. I've been wanting some ever since the Dunnett brunch in Toronto, where I thought the Baton Rouge restaurant should offer bread pudding (or "Pouding a Pain") for dessert, but they didn't.

I housecleaned the bird cages - gave them a thorough scrub. The little guys seemed happy about it, but maybe it's just that they like any kind of attention.

I read two articles in "Vanity Fair" about the Royal Family - one about William (primarily) and one about Harry (secondarily), and one about the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.

A good day, but it came and went too quickly.
