I went outside today.

It was for Ecology Lab.

No matter how bitter I'm feeling toward Ecology for this freaking nonsensical lab, thanks to Eco lab I got to go out in the sun. The warm and toasty sun. For hours.

I have probably never been so happy to be sunburned. I haven't been sunburned since summer! Probably not even then, because back then I was wearing sunscreen.

And then Friend Who Doesn't Have an LJ and I went out for ice cream! Spontaneously! Just to take a break! And I actually had lunch today instead of grabbing a granola bar between classes, which made my mood about 150% better for lab.

This is the best Hell Week day ever.

In other news, The Nostalgia Critic = a much more manageable and less time-sucking distraction than TV Tropes. It's like popcorn; you can watch just a video or two at a time, then go back to work! It's very handy, with the advantage of a finite number of videos and no endless link-jumping a la YouTube.

Also he called The Rescuers Down Under an underrated classic and he remembered that The Rocketeer existed. Good man.

Idle curiosity: Does anybody lurk on this journal?

What kind of iced cream? I love the The Rescuers Down Under; it made me want to go to Australia! Yeah, all of those videos with bad quality on YouTube

Peanut butter cup. With actual Peanut Butter in it! It was very exciting.

The Rescuers Down Under was one of my earliest movies, I think. I'm very attached to it.

SUNSHINE IS EXCELLENT. Glad you got a little respite from the bad stuff. :)

It really is. I'd forgotten how much I missed it, especially given it was raining all weekend.

*hugs*

Lucky you; it was raining here all day. D:

I guess I qualify as a lurker, although I'm very very very new so I don't know if I've even been around long enough to qualify... haha.

It rained throughout the whole weekend, too; we just got lucky Monday. Especially since it's supposed to start raining again right in time for Wednesday lab...

OMG THAT DUDE WITH GLASSES IS AWESOME. I especially like the 11 Nostalgia Mindfucks vid. Would you believe that at some point during my childhood and/or adolescence I managed to see all but one of those mindfucks? (That would be the video game one, because I had the kind of parents that didn't let their kids play video games except at the arcade.)

Anyway, I think all the surreality in said mindfucks contributed to making my brain what it is. (And yes, the Raggedy Ann Movie was JUST AS FUCKED UP AS IT LOOKS.)

I've only seen four of the Nostalgic Mindfucks, sadly - Beetlejuice, "Pink Elephants on Parade", the tunnel scene in Willy Wonka, and "This is Halloween", which I'm not really sure should qualify since The Nightmare Before Christmas can't be more bizarre than Cool World or ToonTown (neither of which I've seen).

What gets me about that video is the images in the background. Somewhere, behind some corner, that stupid fractal bear is still staring at me. D:

I'm still having trouble believing that the Raggedy Ann movie actually existed. Because, seriously, The Greedy? Just what every doll-based kid's movie needs: a singing, googly-eyed Clayface.

The Rescuers Down Under was one of my favourites as a tiny girlie! & I was JUST THINKING ABOUT IT a few days ago.

. . . that happens a lot. :O

Mine too! One of my earliest Disney movies, I think. And the first movie I was ever fannish about, at the tender age of four. Trufax.
