out_thereWhen I wake up really cranky on a Friday morning, it shouldn't surprise me that it turns out to be that time of the month. *grrrr* When it comes to periods, I'm certainly not as cursed as some (sure, I always spend the first day on painkillers, but it's not like I'm immobilised by severe pain for a week), but the combination of cramps, backache, headache and tiredness today just makes me want to crawl into bed.
On the good side, the boss is out of the office until 2pm, so at least I don't have to deal with those demands for efficiency. Thank heavens.
Of course, having said that, the boss calls up to find out what I've done this morning and to hassle me to get my to do list done. And my reaction is to grumble back at him that I've been sorting through my desk (*grrrrr* *argh*). His reaction was to remind me that he wants stuff done when he returns this arvo, and that "he'll leave it in my capable hands". Heh. See, we have an understanding. I don't get put off by his bad moods, he doesn't bug me too much when I'm in a bad mood. It works well.
Oh, and because I'm big enough to admit when I'm wrong (sometimes), I was totally wrong about Jafar's voice in Aladdin. (I watched it last night and checked.) It's not Jeremy Irons, it's Jonathan Freeman. Scar and Jafar are still two of my favourite villians though. (Also, Jafar and Iago? Would be so slashy if they were both human. They're both such drama queens.)
Also, saw a preview for Bambi, and commented to Mum that I wasn't sure if I'd seen it. Everyone talks about Bambi's mother and how truamatic that was, and I can't even remember it. She said that I did see it as a kid, but I liked the rabbit. Considering I knew the rabbit's name (Thumper), I'm guessing Mum's right that I only paid atnetion to his scenes. She said the other kids came out of the cinema talking about the deer, I came out talking about Thumper. *g*

Mary Suing yourself into a Jafar focused fic?
It's more common than is sane - Aladdin's children are all stupid or evil, apparently. Poor Marty - too innocent to realise what he was getting into. ;P
My, how we "love" pointless "quotation marks". They make reading a "summary" an endless "romp" through the "fields" of punctuation. :P
I love this summary:
This one is great. Abo and Aladdin are in modern times, and Abo is crazy! Rated PG-13 for drinking and mild violence.
Well, if the AUTHOR says it's great...

Hee! I wonder if it's just me that always mentally pronounces quotation marks with a great deal of sarcasm...

*wonders why she hasn't read it*
Oh, yeah, I forgot. I'm not a masochist.

So you were wandering around FF.N's Disney cartoon section in search of enlightenment, then? ;)
