So I finally got around to watching Aladdin like I had wanted to. Surprisingly it only took me a day or so to actually do, which, for me, is remarkable. Normally it takes about a week or so of pondering to watch any film, especially a Disney film. But seeing as Aladdin, Hercules and Pocahontas are the only Disney DVDs I have in my dorm room, it ( Read more... )

As always life goes on.

Michel Foucault's History of Sexuality makes sense to me (in regard to his central critique) so I couldn't quite grasp what my philosophy teacher meant about it being hard to grasp (i.e. being indoctrinated into thinking ( Read more... )

Well, I took a brief break from thinking and writing my various essay/projects for the end of this semester (early May) and due to time limits I watched "The Lion King II: Simba's Pride" (@ 75 mins).

All words in "" are either quotes from the film or titles of songs.

I am severely in need of an update of some sort, especially as I have about half an hour before my 11-o'clock cultural anthropology class. To conserve space, here is a run down of the last 2 months ( Read more... )

From what I've watched of the Kingdom Hearts franchise on Youtube, coupled with the fact I've recently been immersing myself in the Aladdin franchise, the non-canon quality of Kingdom Hearts Agrabah makes me want to scream ( Read more... )

...but I have been plugging away on two various stories. One is a twist on the Grimm fairy tale "The Frog Prince" which can be read here (I assume it's readable to the general public). The other is a story that came from writing the following "drabble"; I'm planning on having the complete first draft done by the end of the summer or Aug 31. (I've ( Read more... )

Orginally put "Rogers" in the title; I was thinking of Wooden Rogers from The Republic of Pirates (don't quote me on the title there), which as I read more of I wonder if Eiichiro Oda knew anything about the content. Possibly ( Read more... )

This is probably not the most useful thing to be updating on, nor is it really revelant to many other things, but the story got me worked up enough to yell vocally in outrage and amusement so I think I'll throw out a few of my thoughts. (No pictures; I'm taking it simple.) (though that doesn't mean I won't throw in links!!)

This is why philosophy is one of the best loves of my life.

Some of the subject matter is a little...not really intense, but its a critical response to Epicurean thought in direct relation to death and the goal (so far as I've learned) about the development of Epicureanism. That is, it talks almost disinterestedly about death and/or dying, and some ( Read more... )

'The Black Cauldron'...certainly not known in animated Disney movie lore as being the crowd pleaser and classic like 'The Little Mermaid' or 'Cinderella'. All the same, I have always had a fondness for it, mayhap because I read Lloyd Alexander's Prydain Chronicles where subject material of 'The Black Cauldron' film covers the first two novels, The ( Read more... )
