My quirky family, among other things

There’s something to say for Disney movies, there really is. Even though they’re dumb, and the animation is going down the drain, they have a way of ending happily, however implausibly. I read an article the other day that I totally agreed with, saying that sometimes PG-13 movies are a nice break from the “reality” […]

I’m too lazy to write in a real journal

But at the same time I don’t think I’ll write about what I thought I was going to write about. Not the kind of thing anyone needs to read. Funny, how that is. You don’t want to be the only one knowing what you know, but you don’t want to tell anyone. Go figure.
