La Belle et La Bête

[pegkerr]

I bought this movie today, one of my favorites of all time.

I cannot WAIT to show it to the girls.

What I did today to make the world a better place: Duh. I looked at the iPod stand/charger on my desk and thought, "I don't need to have that plugged in when the iPod's not in there, do I?" I am also starting to actually turn off my computer monitor when I leave at night. I'll try to go around the house and unplug unused appliances and chargers, to lessen electric load.

I love La Belle et La Bete, too. It's such a gorgeously filmed, brilliantly made movie.

I will always remember the first time I saw it, which was more than 20 years ago at my best friend's house. We decided afterward that the as yet un-named cat that her mom had just gotten looked exactly like La Bete. So we named her La Bete, and she was forever afterwards saying to us, "Marry me!" ;-)

I've been wanting to buy it on DVD, too.

I'm sure I've done this, but I wanna recommend "Donkey Skin". I think you'll really like it. (Can't think of which fairy tale it's spun from, but a donkey shitting jewels can't be beat.)

According to Wikipedia Terri Windling wrote a version of it as well.

Oh, that is such a lovely film. I should see it again.

Every time I go to rowing practice I turn off at least one unnecessary light (and usually 3) in the boathouse. At work I am constantly turning off the shredder, the printer, and copier which hardly get used yet are typically left on all day.

In our local BC election on Tuesday they elected an anti-plastic shopping bag campaigner to the legislature (yeah!) but her party had a totally stupid "Axe the Tax" campaign against the carbon tax (boo!).
