Time-warp and other DVD-related fun

For some crazy reason, I had a hankering to watch Xanadu with Olivia Newton-John, a movie I just adored when I was a youngun. Fortunately, Family Video had it, and so now I have turned N onto this Hollywood jewel.

D asked me if it was as good as I remember, and of course the answer is a resounding NO! It is dumb as heck, but I was a kid so what did I know. And it was the 80s, so the clothes were actually funky and cool back then. Now they just look like stupid 80s clothes. Poor Gene Kelly---he must have needed money pretty badly to sign on to this project.

N, in her kidness, thinks Xanadu is a pretty great movie, though. She likes Kyra's glittery princess-like costume at the end. And her favorite muse is the black girl with the hair knot on top of her head. I even caught N singing ELO's "I'm Alive" one day while playing.

We also rented Ice Age: The Meltdown, so N's other song of late has been her version of what Sid the Sloth sings to Manny the Mammoth, "If your species will continue, clap your hands." N can't say sp words very well, so here is how her song goes:

If your sfeces will continue clap your hands...Clap, Clap
If your sfeces will continue clap your hands...Clap, Clap
If your sfeces will continue then your face will surely show it (SNORT!!!!)
If your sfeces will continue clap your hands.
