My Day Off

charliesmumI woke at 8am, and not it's 9:33 and I'm in my jammies and robe, playing on the computer, while Charlie plays his scateboarding Gamecube game, still in his jammies.
Possibly I should be doing something useful with the day, like cleaning the house, but I don't wanna.
I downloaded some lovely icons this morning, including several from someone called![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
celandineb (hopefully I spelled that right) that are Oscar Wilde quotes. Which is just totally cool.
My neighbor (who is 13)asked me yesterday if she could borrow my Labyrinth DVD, which was amusing because I had been planning on watching it last night, since for some reason there'd been a plethora of Laby icons lately and it put me in the mood. So I suggested we watch it together, which we did.
Charlie never saw it before - not sure why, but I guess I didn't think he'd be interested. He loved it, which surprised me.
It was sweet. He watched the beginning very quietly and then said, "You can't take people's baby. It's against the LAW!" and crawled into my lap. He laughed at the Goblins, and really enjoyed the songs, (he is already a David Bowie fan) and worried out loud about Sarah trying to get her baby back throughout the course of the movie.
It was fun.
And, I just love that movie. I'm really pleased it managed to find an audience over the years, because it deserves it. I pointed out to (my neighbor) that it was done without CGI and computers and the like, and she was amazed. It was all Muppets and sets and camera tricks. Not that there is anything wrong with movies using computers and whatnot, but it's nice to see something so well done that didn't it, as it were, by hand.
Anyway. I should go get showered and dressed, I think. I'll be back.
Now I have to decide what icon to use...
