sometimes i think about the fact that Dreamworks was working on the Prince of Egypt and Shrek at the same time and would apparently send people to work on Shrek instead of the Prince of Egypt as a form of punishment 

the night i posted this i couldn’t find a source and i’ve been wondering ever since if maybe it was just some kind of fucked up fever dream or something. but no, it’s real:

Hi Sams

Yesterday I made a start on preparing to paint walls in B–, C—– and ‘R—-’s/T—’s bedrooms. I found my ipod / logitech speakers and figured out how to make it work….   Finally…… with music from the past (Inuyasha, Classical Beethoven, Carole King, Michael Jackson, Good Charlotte Atomic Kitten, etc, etc, etc) providing my motivation,  I started with cleaning all the dusty areas: windowsills, ceiling fans and shelves in ‘R—-’s/T—’s room where I found T—’s babyhood toy – the barn with little farm animals and farmer with the tractor and C—–’s castle with soldiers.

Well, the barn was minus some of the animals so I searched through the ‘animal box’ to find the missing mammals and while I was doing that, I found some Bratz accessories.  I put the barn and C—–’s castle aside for cleaning later, and then washed down the bedroom walls.  After they were spider-webless and clearer of other stuff (ask T— about his big cleaning wall session after a night out – there is always those tiny splatters that you keep finding months after the event) old blue tac, finger-marks, and so on, I took out the Bratz box to return the little accessories.

And what befell my eyes? 24 naked, tangled Bratz!! How could I just close the lid on them?!!  So I spent a couple of hours sitting on the kitchen floor surrounded by Bratz – matching up shoes and dolls, suitable combinations of clothes and accessories while the little ipod continued to pump out my favourite tunes.  I did think about googling Bratz to see if I could be technically correct with their clothing but thought that was a little too obsessive.  I was amazed to find that after all these years, only one shoe was missing and then, low and behold, when I went to wash the barn and castle today – there was the missing shoe – in the dungeon of the castle!!  

So – all the Bratz are now attired, the barn, animals, castle and soldiers are glistening clean (although the mother pig is missing from the barn) and the bedroom walls are ready for painting next weekend.  

I am going to ring C—– later today for a catch up and will also ask him if he wants me to keep the castle – or if I should give it away as part of the downsizing I need to do prior to moving….  I am finding the whole thought of downsizing daunting – especially when I think about the whole office of stuff at A—’s and all the furniture, toys and resources in the shipping container out there – let alone all the stuff in the ‘bat cave’!! Being a hoarder is not a helpful trait when contemplating a relocation!!  So far I have managed to part with some old magazines and egg cartons…. It’s a start!!

Anyway – it must be time to have a cuppa, return the barn and castle to the cupboard until I have had the relevant conversations and come up with a couple of other procrastination tactics before starting my school work.  This week we are probably going to move the grade 7s down to the demountables – as the new Year 7 hub, until the replacement of C Block is built. The decision about when to move the Grade 7s has been a bit of a saga with G—- not wanting to move this year, K—- and C—- definitely wanting to move this week, me keen to move but feeling awkward about G—- and, again, the idea of actually taking down all my displays is tiresome. The camera man and I have continued with our eye-rolling!!

Love ya – and wish you were ‘helping me’ with the Bratz yesterday….

every time i listen to “you’re a mean one mr. grinch” i can’t help but sit there and think “what did the grinch do to hurt you?” because dude just stands there for 2 minutes and 58 seconds and drags the grinch into the dirt

he stole christmas, kayla! stop with your #notallgrinches propaganda!

you know what if someone told me i was a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce i’d probably be bitter enough to steal christmas too 

Interestingly, though The Grinch Who Stole Christmas is narrated by Boris Karloff, the big musical number is sung by the late Thurl Ravenscroft – an American voice actor better known as the voice of Tony the Tiger.

My headcanon is that the Grinch and Tony the Tiger had a bad breakup, and “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” is the resulting breakup song.

Did this really HAVE to be the first thing I see when I opened up Tumblr?

Yes.

oh god theres art

@altadude you know what must be done.

ive been avoiding reblogging this honestly but just. What the fuck. What the fuck tumblr

Now it’s time for everybody’s favourite game: does this person really think every realistically attainable outcome is equally bad, or are they just an apathetic jackass trying to frame total inaction as the moral high ground?

Usually the latter. Sometimes they’re trying to promote pursuing a totally unattainable outcome, though, which I can respect a bit more.

Nah, even that can be a rhetorical trick. It’s a particularly popular one among self-labelled progressives – it works like this:

1. Pick an injustice that’s at least one of a. so colossal and entrenched that it’s difficult to identify any individual contribution that might help to combat it, or b. so totally removed from your sphere of influence that you can’t meaningfully engage with it in the first place. Some broad class of institutional violence that’s happening on the opposite side of the planet is a popular choice, since it satisfies both criteria at once.

2. Declare that fighting this injustice is the sole priority, and that any lesser social ill is a frivolous distraction. Critically, even injustices that are subsets of your chosen target must be dismissed in this fashion, because allowing the possibility of attacking the problem piecemeal short-circuits the next step (see below). Insist that anyone with more attainable goals is “part of the problem”, either because they’re (allegedly) capitulating to the system, or because they’re distracting attention and draining resources from the “real” fight.

3. Now that you’ve got a cause you can’t do anything about, and you’ve established that you can’t reasonably be expected even to think about any
lesser injustice until that cause has been decisively conquered, you’ve
freed yourself from any obligation to do anything at all.

Best of all, you can still claim the moral high ground by framing yourself as the only one with the courage to recognise the true face of the enemy, and score bonus pathos by making a huge production of how hard it is to be
so utterly committed to such an “impossible” cause.

It’s a neat little system, innit?
