Three things yesterday

1. Blue is quitting, so it’ll just be Miss Minnow and Spaztastic together. This is going to be fantastic.

2. I was cleaning up for Ken’ichi’s class, while two of his classmates who had shown up early, Bonze and Jerkface, fooled around with the toys. Bonze, looking out the window, said, “Ken’ichi’s here, but he’s not coming up…”

Jerkface looked out, too. “Huh? Oh, he’s doing his homework in the car.”

Unfortunately, he didn’t finish it. KEN’ICHI!

3. I now have the worst cold in the universe. Thanks, parents who bring their kids in sick!

So I watched Sita Sings the Blues

and got myself all worked up about something tangential:

For a guy who claims that video games can never be “high art”, Ebert seems to have a pretty high opinion of a film that owes a lot to 2D game visual conventions. It’s a good movie, but it’s not “astonishingly original.” He’d have a better idea what he was looking at if he’d ever played a video game.

Also

I guess that the Monkey King is based on Hanuman? They are both magical monkeys who can jump hundreds of miles and have monkey armies, so I’m assuming it’s not a coincidence.
