The Stuff of Childhood || Thumbelina

Over the holiday break, while spending time with loved ones, I had a chance to relive my young childhood by re-watching the animated tale of Thumbelina. 

And yes, I did spend the whole rest of the day sneaking up and singing "Let Me Be Your Wings" in many a family member's ear.

I challenge anyone to watch said movie with out doing the same at least once. 

Here are a few stills I caught just for funnzies.
Enjoy the artsy, grainy, kitchy mess:

Beauty is mysterious as well as terrible. 

God and devil are fighting there, and the battlefield is the heart of man.

Moving On

The Election is finally over, a reason to celebrate in itself.

May the President take seriously the trust America now puts in him. 

Because America will elect only who it deserves.

God bless America.

Buster Keaton ~ I Fell In Love With Melancholy

Ladies and Gents! 

Another name to be added to my "Childhood Crushes" list:

<><> Buster Keaton <><>

Do we love him because he's awkward?

Or is he awkward because we love him?

I am not as privy to Mr. Keaton's film career as I would like to be, 

but that is something I hope to remedy soon.

So while you're here, enjoy these snapshots/film snippets of the great comic himself.
