Of Mice or Men?


You know who's hot? Basil from The Great Mouse Detective. He's clever, witty, an eloquent speaker. He's British, ergo he sports a lovely rich British accent. He knows chemicals and elements, algebraic formulas and theorems, AND he's a violinist, and quite the thespian! He's also tall and slender and has a nice smile. He likes dogs too, which is a plus. If he was human, I would totally get with him in a second. Or if I were a cartoon mouse.

I'm just saying, it's a pity there aren't more guys out there like him. I mean, sure, the current bachelor on ABC happens to be a British guy, and he is cute and tall and has a nice build, but what a womanizer. And it may be poor editing, but he doesn't appear to be a very good judge of character. Sorry Matt Grant, you have nothing on Basil of Baker Street.

And yes, I found Basil incredibly attractive in this scene:



For that matter, Jake from The Rescuers Down Under was pretty hot too. Adventurous, charming, and an Australian accent. Oh yes. And Justin from The Secret of Nimh wasn't so bad either. But they're rats, not mice. (I think. Is a kangaroo rat a rat? Cause sometimes words can play tricks on people. I mean, they say "koala bear" even though it's not a bear, so I don't know.)

Blue Fingertips

The last time I got this much overhead ink on my hands was when I was in... fourth grade? So how do I get this stuff off again?

But my kids are so helpful, it's great. I love my kids. I love my job.

What do kids watch nowadays? What CAN they watch? There were so many good shows back in my childhood days, and now there's so many horrible shows. Where are the happy, upbeat, positive role models that kids can look up to and learn good morals from?

Maybe I should start my own kids show. They made some awesome shows when I was a kid.
