Blogapalooza 2016 - Day 6: When I'm Sick

     Anyone else veg at the TV/their laptop when they are sick?  I certainly do!  And whatever I watch has to have a theme.  Usually I crave older movies like The Thin Man and Arsenic and Old Lace or older musicals like Seven Brides for Seven Brothers or Bye, Bye Birdie.  When I get sicker (not only do I have the whiny internal monologue of a four year old) the craving turns to kids shows and movies like Magic School Bus, Zoboomafoo, Kratt's Creatures, Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers, and Rescuers: Down Under.  When I got super sick with the flu a few years ago all I wanted to do was watch Theodore Tugboat.  Come to find out the only libraries that have it are in Canada so I spent a lot of time YouTubing it.
     This trend towards light older movies and kids shows has my selection for my most recent illness looking rather odd.  When I had a cold last week, all I wanted to watch was M*A*S*H episodes with Frank Burns, seasons of NCIS with Ziva and Director Vance and, when I ran out of those, MythBusters.  What?  XD  Boom!
     What are some of your go-to movies or shows when you're sick?

Disneybounding Reveal: Marahute

Marahute from Rescuers Down Under


Congratulations T.V., Lisa B., and Ashley B.'s Disney crazy cousin!

Favorite Quote: *squawk*

     I love Marahute!  She is sweet and fierce and protective and conveys emotional depth without ever speaking a word.  You just want her to take you under her wings and give you a ride through the clouds. ♥  I also wanted to be able to shrug like her.
     I loved both of the Rescuers movies growing up but Down Under was my favorite of the two.  I can't count the number of times I watched them.  Every feather I see becomes the one Cody had.  It tickles me to no end that our zoo has a lizard named Joanna and I still count McLeach as one of the scariest villains.  That scene with the crocodiles sparked more than one nightmare.
