fox double feature

last weekend was rainy. here's how i dealt with that the first day of it:
a fox double feature with the fox and the hound and the fantastic mr. fox. we watched it with my new roommate, his friend and her two boys, age 7 or 8 and 11 or 12. my new roommate is gonna be an excellent gardening ally. at the gardening store yesterday i bought a "real shady" seed mix for a 10x2ft dirt spot on one side of the yard; i can't wait to grow sunglasses, alisa. anyway, we only got through the fox and the hound before the kids had to go to bed. they seemed to really enjoy it and they found things funny that it wouldn't dawn on me to laugh at. wouldn't it be nice if i could remember what those things were? the fox and the hound was alright but i didn't like the hound baby talk and i didn't like the big mama owl songs. i did like the hardy country old lady that takes the baby fox in and raises him. she names him tod, one d, isn't that intriguing? plus she stood up to the hunter, the hound's owner, when he wants after tod. tod is a such a good dude. even though the hound, his friend, goes after him, he jumps in and helps the hound avoid the biggest, scariest bear. and the fox finds a foxy ladyfox not too long after the country lady decides he has to be wild and not domestic. so, it was alright.

i wish i could say something about seeing the fantastic mr fox for the 3rd time but i fell asleep almost immediately once the movie started playing.
