swoon...

i think i love a crocodile. today my cheburashka dvd came. i've watched two episodes of the four on the disc. gena crocodile is so freakin' cute. what a crushworthy reptilian gentleman. all the characters are cute! and they're kind. they go about building playgrounds for roly-poly little boys and girls. they illegally borrow compressors and power tools. they throw melon rinds. the animal characters don't live in the zoo-- they work there. gena is a crocodile. gena works as a crocodile. there's something to that. maybe. and cheburashka. my good god. i haven't seen any creature that cute since totoro. i'm going to savor the two remaining episodes. i wish i knew a crocodile that played the accordion. a mischievous old lady. a creature of unknown origins with jug ears and a russian accent. i suppose that's what we have stop motion for.

wellidy. it's the mom's birthday today. yes. along with neil diamond. brilliant. is it neil or neal? hm. dunno. in any case, i won't be baking him a cake. i will be baking the mother one.

later.
