<giggle> Hey, I *liked* the miniskirt! Eh, I see what you mean.
Pocahontas wasn't one of my favorites, and I'm not particularly
impressed with the soundtrack. Except sometimes "Colors of the Wind".
Occassionally, it makes me cry.
<sigh> I've noticed a disturbing trend. As I get older, the waterworks
come easier. Now I even cry during songs. It used to be that the *only*
song I would cry during was "Butterfly Kisses". Especially the part
"Does my wedding dress look pretty, Daddy? Daddy, don't cry". Now, I
can think of about 5 songs off the top of my head that make me tear up.
And one of them is a Barenaked Ladies song! Sheesh.
Man, I've been chatty of late...
