Sunny Saturday....

[fajrdrako]

Morning: Tim Horton's coffee with maaseru and maaboroshi, then exercising with my trainer Lynne, and Lisa. Was a little surprised how much I could do, and how my the Foot could do. It was a good session.

Then we went to Cora's for lunch, and talked about various things, including my job, or impending lack thereof. It was a little depressing.

Then: my place, to watch Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog and then The Moonstone with iclysdale, commodorified and auriaephiala. Then we went for a walk - barefoot in the park for a good part of it. commodorified is especially good at Foot-coaching. raynedaze joined us and we watched three episodes of Due South: 'The Blue Line', 'The Deal' and 'An Invitation to Romance'. I liked 'The Deal' very much - perhaps the best of the episodes I've seen so far.

Tired. Taking the Foot to bed now.

Oh. Well, Nathan Fillion.

I didn't know you knew about Pinky & the Brain. They're one of my favorites. I find the Animaniacs just about totally delightful. With President Bill Clinton playing the sax in their opening credits.

Yes, Nathan Fillion. He's a phenomenon of nature.

I find the Animaniacs just about totally delightful.

We saw that at Tom and Mary's place once, or am I misremembering?

Oh, absolutely! And you loved it, I remember. One of the bits they showed was Yakko singing the countries of the world. I have that on DVD now!!! I am so happy.

Slappy the Squirrel is wonderful. So are Pinky and the Brain. Ditto Rita and Runt (Rita is a stray cat, voiced by Bernadette Peters... at one point, she has a line, played straight to the "camera": "Well, what did you expect, Sondheim?"). And the Warner Brothers and Sister are seriously strange. Yeah, I like non-linear. Skullhead Boneyhands is also fine to see. I can't say much about the Goodfeathers, or Mindy and Buttons... they're okay, but never grabbed me the way the others did. I consider the Animaniacs to be a high point of television cartoons, and was utterly happy the day I found the first two seasons on DVD, yep.

I have mixed feelings about television cartoons. Mostly perfer to avoid them, mostly because of the voices, which are almost always strident.

I remember liking Animaniacs - I liked the music - but still don't have the 'want to watch' impulse. Sort of how I feel about Pixar movies. And of course part of the problem (tho' it isn't a problem)is that these tend to be comedies.
