I'm reading Fast Food Nation right now and it is a good book and listen to these tidbits about disney. In the 1950's Wernher von Braun who cohosted and produced Disney television shows about space exploration had earlier been a major in the SS and an early member of the Nazi party. The factory where his rockets were built killed at least 20,000 slave laborers during WWII. And Heinz Haber the chief scientifc consultant to the Walt Disney Compnay perfored research by using concentration camp prisoners to test different risks faced by the German air force.

Von Braun and Haber cohosted "man In Sapce" for Walt Disney. So all the kids at home were learning about space from two mass murders. How very pleasant. Maybe Mickey Mouse was formerly a nazi too. I liked it better when I was in the dark about all this stuff. I just want to believe in the magic!

So I really want to see the Phantom of the Opera movie but I couldn't go Wednesday night because it was my dinner party and so I couldn't wait to go today after work, that's all I could think about all day and then noone would go...so no Phantom for Mike, now that means prolly not seeing it at least until Sunday

And then my Uncle calls and says my aunt sick and so we may not be going over there tomorrow for Christmas. So yes christmas as I know it may be canceled. Really that part of my family is mainly the only family we have so basically it will just be me, my parents, pual, terry, matt and my granmda I believe. Oh who knows! My aunt is calling in the morning to say how she feels. I hope she feels ok and we have christmas. We've already had to postpone our christmas with parts of my dad's family because of illness and cancled our christmas with my mom's cousin's family because they had to go to Florida to visit their sick uncle. Sickness everywhere, christmas nowhere. I'm just in a bad mood right now i think. grr

WELCOME TO THE (E:STRIP) AMANDA!! It's about time you signed up after secretly reading all the journals for months!!!

SCHOOL IS FINALLY DONE!! AFTER SOME LAST MINUTE FINISHING DETAILS I HANDED ALL MY FINAL WORK YESTERDAY AT 4! I was hoping for a sense of relief but I still don't believe it is over. Two weeks straight of just hardcore work and studying was too much!!

Today I decorated the tree while listening to the Elf (what a great movie) soundtrack and that was fun and put me in a christmasy mood. Now on to get my shopping done...
