As aggressive as Disney's lawyers are, they haven't quite managed to obtain trademarks for all the public domain fairy tales. Yet.
Yes, except Fairyland's Snow White looks identical to Disney's, the Dwarfs have the same names, and they sing a snatch of the Disney song. Same for the Alice & Wonderland section, which looks strikingly like the Disney version.
Disney is notoriously litigious, and my only explanation is that it's a 70-year-old nonprofit and a lawsuit would probably put them out of business.
Maybe there's a Contract of Dorian Grey in an office somewhere, that Disney doesn't dare challenge.
"Nicky" also got married a few weeks ago to a woman he'd just met. I'd say "why doesn't that happen to me???" but it's clear he's a bit of a mess and marrying people you just met is not win. I hope his current representation is up for it.
Yeah, that whole thing makes me sad.
Well, I didn't get enough done today to get a punch on my I'm a Grownup Card, but I did some stuff, at least. And in my quest to make my sinuses feel better I made gingery meatballs and simmered them in the broth I made out of those roasted marrow bones a couple weeks ago. I don't know if it'll have any therapeutic effect, but yum.
Ooh, that sounds pretty therapeutic!
I have determined that being a grown-up sometimes means saying Nope.
I really want to say nope to work tomorrow. But that's definitely not the grown up response..
I don't know, sarameg, with your work it might be.
I danced, sat in my hotel room a bit, and then went dancing some more. Flirted with some super pretty gay boys. Well, one was maybe bi? And now on a bus back to the hotel. I'm hungry but I don't think anything near the hotel will be open. And I need to figure out where I'm supposed to pick up my rental car first thing in the morning. Which is going to hurt, since I only had 5 hours of sleep last night, and will get max six tonight?
