Kicked off a sunny morning with breakfast and a mildly scary Garfield and Friends. Garfield finds himself in "The Lasagna Zone" when he drops cheese and tomato sauce on Jon's new satellite dish and winds up in the TV, running between shows. Orson is a "Sleepytime Pig" when he can't get to dreamland. Turns out the Sandman was late. He desperately tries to put Orson to sleep. The others' attempt to get him sleeping doesn't help. Garfield calls himself "Yojumbo" when a bully picks on Jon after he takes Liz to a Japanese restaurant. He takes martial arts lessons to impress her, but Garfield's the one who really figures out how to deal with the hulking jerk.
Went straight to work after the cartoon ended. Work was very busy for most of the day. It's a holiday weekend, for one thing. People are starting to think of the holidays, and there's a lot of other things going on as well. I did clean the bathrooms when I arrived and gathered the outside trash and recycling, but I was mainly either outside doing the carts or inside sweeping. At least the weather got better. By the time I was heading home with frozen pepperoni pizza and an onion, the sun was out, and while it was humid, it was also windless and a little warmer.
Spent the next few hours writing. When Skutch's fine carriage comes bouncing along, Charles is surprised to discover that he's not alone. A female figure with a familiar gravelly voice and iron bands on her wrists is being held prisoner in the carriage. Skutch turns her over to the head guard, claiming he wants her to find Robin Hood in the forest. The guard holds up his sword to kill her. The queen wanted her heart, but he can't bring himself to do the deed. He breaks the iron bands and turns her loose instead.
Broke for dinner at quarter of 7. Did an episode of Fairy Tale Theatre while eating pepperoni pizza and spinach salad with apple cider dressing for dinner. As you may have noticed, one of the fairy tales I'm using for inspiration for my own story is "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." Elizabeth McGovern is a lovely snow maiden here, with Vanessa Redgrave as a wonderful wicked queen, Rex Smith as the prince, and Vincent Price as the narrator and the queen's truth-telling mirror.
Ended the night with Z.O.M.B.I.E.S. I go into more details on the strangest Disney Channel musical ever at my Musical Dreams Movies Reviews blog.
