Well, hell.

Went to class, discovered that someone I had crossed words with via posts to our agency's ML really was quite more than miffed with me (uncomfortable does not quite describe class under those circumstances. Woman might as well have been staring daggers at me the entire time)...could NOT get to tea, so had to cancel...could then NOT get HOME in time to make the party....so I went out and indulged in retail therapy and picked up a copy of Meet The Robinsons while at Costco.

Oh. My. GHAD.

(I was also able to get two copies of the Mother Jones magazine itself with the "Did I Steal My Daughter" article in it - one for me, one for the agency.)

It was the perfect way to end this horrible day. And probably the first "adoption" story I've got on my shelves that touches on the biological parents as well as the adoptive ones, with equal weight. Satisfactorily? Well. It's one story. By itself, not a chance. As one story among many, yes. Very yes.

Breaking dancing T-Rex? FOR THE WIN.

Here's hoping for a more cooperative day tomorrow.

I love that pretty much every person in the movie is batshit insane.

Meet the Robinsons was totally underrated. I mean, those who saw it loved it but it didn't get as much advertisement as it should have. I loved it and totally forgot it came out on DVD until I was in Walmart yesterday. I'll probably pick it up in a few days along with the Jungle Book.

I got mine at Costco - Jungle Book right next to it. (I'll pick that up in a few weeks, I'm sure.)

Well, yes and no. Luis never once wonders who his father is... but I guess that's a pretty standard MO for Disney (include one parent, ignore the other).

And even the adoptive father? Yup. Cipher-ville. Buuut - as I said, by itself? Not a chance. Mixed in with all the rest of the stories you can find? Terribly good. Very good. Outstanding good, because you get to see a happy ending with very different kid with very different-looking parents, but who they are together is a perfect match in the end.

I still want to know where the twins came from.

Oh, it's a great movie, don't get me wrong. Biological fathers getting the shaft is my personal pet peeve is all, so I noticed it.

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

Men, in regard to being good parents period, get the shaft. It's not you.

Chocolate tangerine cookies can fix just about anything.
