Began a partly cloudy day with work. It wasn't quite as busy as I figured it would be on the weekend before Thanksgiving. Considering how early I was there, a lot of people may have been at holiday bazaars, local sports, or other events. It helped that we had plenty of people up front, including two other baggers. Got a box of gift cards hung on the kiosk and a few other displays, but mainly alternated between gathering carts and shelving a full cart of loose items.
Had a couple of snacks when I got home and changed. Watched Gift of the Night Fury while I ate. This How to Train Your Dragon special introduces us to Snoggletog, the Vikings' main winter holiday. They're all excited to celebrate it with their new friends, until the dragons all take off for parts unknown. While the other kids try to create new traditions to improve their parents' holiday, Hiccup follows one of the dragons to figure out where they disappeared to.
Hit the sack after the cartoon ended. I worked early today and was up at least a little late with Lauren last night. I needed a nice nap. Got up after a half-hour feeling at least a little bit refreshed, managing to ignore the chatter from Charlie and his buddies and animals downstairs.
Did a little writing after that. Unlike the prince in The Little Mermaid, Donald is smart enough to figure out that this is the girl who rescued him. She's mute, however, and can't give them any further details, other than her legs pain her badly when she stands. Brett manages to get her dressed, and a smitten Donald manages to suggest they have lunch in the town square.
I got so caught up online, it was past 7 when I broke for dinner. Had leftovers while running Bugs Bunny's Christmas Tales. Bugs and the other Toons appear in three original shorts about the holidays. Yosemite Sam is Ebeneezer Scrooge, with Bugs as Nephew Fred and Porky as Bob Cratchit, in the first one. The second takes us to the Rocky Mountains, as Wil E. Coyote and the Road Runner move their usual antics into the snow-covered peaks. Bugs deals with the Tasmanian Devil in a Santa Claus suit eating him out of house and home in the third.
Finished the night after a shower with FernGully: The Last Rainforest. I go further into this environmental fable at my Musical Dreams Movie Reviews blog.
