Disney

On Tuesday I informed my Fiction professor, shortly before class, that I wasn't feeling well and might be leaving class early. He then informed me that I was not allowed in his classroom that day; that I must go home and sleep and feel better. Thank you Dr. P. Well, I took half of his instructions: I went home...eventually. I went shopping for food first. Then I came home, ate dinner, did what homework was absolutely necessary for the next day, and then I played the piano for a little while. But the highlight of my day, and possibly my week, came at around nine thirty Tuesday evening.
It was too late to start a movie (for me) but it was too early to go to bed. So, I went on Youtube.com and found a whole collection of old Disney Short Animated Films. All of them were less than twenty minutes, most of them were musical, and a considerable portion of them were narrated by Sterling Holloway. Needless to say: Amazing night in the heart of good fun, awesome music, and fond memories. I must do this more often. :)

For those of you who would like to reminisce with me, here are the names of the shorts that I watched (all are available on Youtube):
Peter and the Wolf
Lambert the Sheepish Lion
Paul Bunyan
Golaith II
Ferdinand the Bull
Willie the Operatic Whale
They are all pretty much amazing. :)

Today's Featured Quote:
"Let's say God puts two people on Earth and they are lucky enough to find one another. But one of them gets hit by lightning. Well then what? Is that it? Or, perchance, you meet someone new and marry all over again. Is that the person you're supposed to be with or was it the first? And if so, when the two of them were walking side by side were they both the one for you and you just happened to meet the first one first or, was the second one supposed to be first? And is everything just chance or are some things meant to be?" -Prince Henry, Ever After
