Good Times!
Nov. 26th, 2006 12:41 amAnne, Mandy, and I spent a rather eventful and amusing day together in Sherman Oaks. My teacher at school had told me about the Van Eaton Gallery so I really wanted to go have a look and I convinced them to go with me. Once we were there, we had a ball looking at amazing things like cels and production art from all sorts of animation genres! We found stuff from all the Disney movies, various cartoon shows, etc! I really wanted to buy some of the stuff they had there, like model sheets for the Seven Dwarves, or drawings of Peter Pan, or the Glen Keane drawing from 'Great Mouse Detective', etc! I also found stuff from She-Ra, various Hanna-Barbera cartoons, Pirates of Dark Water, etc etc etc! It was insaaaane and all three of us had various trips down memory lane. Anyone who loves animation should so check this gallery out!
We also meandered over to a pet store (that sold sharks!) and a used book store. Now that was a treat because Mandy found a book called 'Merlin's Gift' which was a complete bastardization of the Arthurian legends. The book was three dollar so we each chipped in a dollar and read it aloud to each other, laughing at how terrible it was. The plot centered on Mordred, who basically was a Gary Stu and a combination of Mordred and Lancelot (there was no Lancelot in the book!) He saved Guinevere, took her virginity in order to escape the Otherworld on top of human teeth in the Kingdom of Teeth (WTF?!), kept boinking her, Nimüe (pronounced Knee-Moo) was 'Gwen's' half sister and was growing a penis, Merlin and Uther were in a gay relationship until Uther turned straight, and Arthur was reaching a Dark Ages mid-life crisis with a bowl cut.
And the very first sentence of the book started out with, "None of this would have happened if Guinevere's little sister hadn't grown a penis."
There's a lot of 'penis talk' in the book too. Naturally, the three of us attacked with a sharp pencil and an evil sharper wit (ho ho!) Mandy went nuts over the amount of pluperfect used in this book. All of us were in unanimous agreement that we've read fanfiction better than this, and we have to say that if this shit can be published, it opens lots of doors for us! I shall end this entry with a bit of text from the tome that can be taken in many, many ways:
'Hadn't known who it was till I'd pinned him to the ground and suddenly recognized the stocky, grizzled shape writhing at the end of my spear. There was no point in pulling it out of him, so I let go of the shaft and held him in my arms and strove to make sense of the small wet sounds his mouth was making. Maybe he was trying to speak, maybe he just meant to spit on me, but what came out was a frothy red gush, and then he went limp, limp as my dick was last night, with rain falling on his open eyes and tears pouring out of mine, and both of us all over mud and blood.'
