Holiest of Holy Shits. Oh my -god-.
You'll never believe what I just saw on tv. Actually, you probably will because you're not me and don't have the same life experiences with which to appreciate this most amazing of events.
I was just talking last week to Rei about videos from my childhood, and cartoon episodes that I used to have taped and watch obsessively because I thought they were the coolest things ever. My absolute favorite of childhood videos was a vhs of Talespin with parts one and two of an episode where Balu and Louis meet an archeologist chick in the middle east who found the Lost Bells of Tenabula. They get chased/captured by some illuminati-esque mercenary group led by this snake with a metal jaw. Tenabula itself was a city where everything was made of gold, they had cultic worship of scarabs, and posessed a weapon powerful enough to destroy the world. To punish the city for creating the weapon, it was swallowed into the sand, -but- if the bells were rang correctly, the city would rise from the sand again. The metal-jawed snake dude wanted to raise the city to get the weapon, right? But the archeologist girl was the only one who could read the ancient writing as to the right way to ring the bells, hence why he kidnaps her.
I used to play archeologist with my dogs acting out this story, and I guess just reading that it's pretty obvious where my love for stuff along those lines comes from. (Ancient cities, anachronistic weapons, cultic worships, etc. etc. etc.) Anyway, we lost the vhs of it when we moved from our lake house wayyy back in '96. I've always mentioned it in passing with my brother and whatnot when we're on the subject of old things we used to like all, "Hey, you remember that Talespin episode we used to watch all the time with the Lost Bells of Tenabula? Wasn't that just the shit?"
Well, it's been nine years since I last saw it, but all powers that be bless the Disney channel because at 3:30 am this evening Talespin was on tv, and...and...guess which episode? That's right!
For Whom The Bell Clangs- Part One.
I could have died from the sheer joy of it. It was like a dream, really. I know I'm a total loser for being so happy, but really, I thought it was lost forever. Now that I know what it's called, I can probably track down a tape of it again. I even learned another fun fact in the process: Tim Curry was the voice of the metal-jawed snake guy! xD
Oh I am happy. So very happy. I'd dance if my floor weren't covered in dirty clothes and empty water bottles. ;o;
