I just watched Beauty and the Beast with my nephew and niece for the first time in probably 6 years or so. They added a new song? You may not believe that it has been so long since I watched the movie because I have a thing for quoting Gaston as a sort of a facade to the facade of having overconfidence in myself. That one may take a while to mull over in your mind... the facade of a facade. Of course I can't make the fancy "c" required to correctly spell the word... TANGENT!!
So I discovered that this Disney movie is a prime example of Stockholm syndrome, and I think that we will one day see reality shows based on it. "Jenny must spend a week in a magical castle... with nothing to do but read and interact with the ill-tempered and shockingly hairy landlord!"
The other revelation I had while watching the movie is Belle is still my favorite princess. Rip my man card up and replace it with a certified creeper card, but I think that the beast is one lucky water buffalo... despite her being French.
Now comes the other tangent... After the movie I told Andrew and Lizzie that they would one day have their own Belle (or Beast, for the latter... snicker), and then I said that for Uncle Todd... who knows? I remember a day when it was a "when"... now it's an "if". I didn't think it would be this hard.
For instance, as I am preparing to go on a date, I feel... anxious. The most comparable feeling to getting ready for a date was getting ready for a football game in high school. I feel horribly under-skilled and outmatched in every position, but at the same time I can surprise myself... on a very seldom occasion. Both games, both very physically demanding, and both are over in a few hours. Then you get that good feeling sort of like after you finished throwing up... it just feels so much better after you're done.

Oh, Sad Todd, you still have plenty of time to find your Belle. You are too cool to be a water buffalo for the rest of your life. And by "cool" I of course mean "special."
Yeah that song was one that they originally edited out, you can actually watch the original version without it still. I can see why they took it out though, it was kinda weird and totally distracted from the movie. And Todd, don't worry...your Belle will come..shoot I got my Beast, he's sometimes my prince charming :)
Hopefully you don't get tossed for a penalty you did not committtt (I forgot how many t's so I just made a bunch.)
