Talkie Tuesday: Lady and the Tramp

 

"And they call it bella notte ..."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome to tonight's blog post.

 

As you can see, I've moved away from Bollywood yet again (though you can always count on the fact I'll get back to it at some point, my list of movies that I still haven't watched is long, but distinguished haha). This time though, I've gone in the opposite direction and right into the golden era of animation.

 

Aka, the Walt Disney one.

 

Say what you want about the man - and opinions are certainly divided - but his company knew how to make movies back in the day.

 

They didn't even need to be all that complicated either, as we're about to witness.

 

All you really needed was a couple of protagonists, a very realistic situation, and boom you had a story.

 

Even if the main characters were dogs - or possibly BECAUSE of that.

 

We're heading back to the 1950s in Lady and the Tramp.

 

Tome Thursday: Golden Christmas

Hello everyone!

Okay, okay. You can say it.

What in the name of all that's happy am I doing reading a CHRISTMAS book just after Easter and right before May 1?

I'll tell you.

During the holiday season, I stumbled upon a short stories compilation which included Christmas, pets, and kisses (not necessarily in that order, however), and I fell in love with some of the stories in there. In particular with the very first I read, which was why I dusted off the entire thing yesterday and decided, why not?

It's currently cold and unpleasant outside what with all the rain we have going on, but that being said I suppose the festive cheer is what I've been missing.

And I could dearly use some pick-me-up these days.

So, without further ado, allow me to introduce Helen Scott Taylor's Golden Christmas!
