Come On. . .

I'm watching 'World's Strictest Parents' on MTV. And so far, the family the two teenagers have been transplanted to seems like they have completely normal expectations.

Their rules are:
-No swearing - easy enough of a rule to follow. I still don't swear in my parents' house because I feel like its disrespectful, even though they have never said to me that it's not allowed. And they swear in front of me all the time. Ha.

-No smoking - this is a disgusting habit, anyway, so I don't think it's unreasonable. The parents explained that when the kids smoke, EVERYONE has to smell it and this is totally true.

-Make your bed every morning - again, NOT unreasonable. I never had to do this, but I don't think it's too hard of a task.

-Put your dirty clothes in the hamper - DUH.

So far, these parents are NOT strict, they are average.

The kids have already walked out to the street so they can smoke and talk about how much they already hate the parents. Give me a break.

The mom is telling the girl she likes long hair to be pulled back at the table because she doesn't like food and hair to get entangled, she thinks its gross. Also, no elbows on the table. The hair thing is nitpicky.

ooooooooo, they have HORSES!! I LOVE horses! They smell so nice.

Man, these kids are a couple of smart ass punks. And everyone is totally hamming it up for the cameras. This just reinforces why reality shows are irritating. Time to change the channel.

Last night I saw the new Disney movie 'The Princess and the Frog'. I enjoyed it a lot more than i thought I would. There was a lot of singing, it seemed like they overdid that part a bit, but I liked the characters. Ray the firefly was my favorite, with his 5 teeth and cajun accent. The bad guy was a pretty good one, too, the evil Shadow-Man, with his creepy shadow that was always doing malicious things to other people and his ties to his 'friends on the other side' (read: evil voodoo spirits). The trumpet playing gator, named Lou, reminded me of King Louie from Jungle Book. Both Lou and Louie sing songs about wanting to be human, although Lou just wants to play Jazz, not be King over everything.

It was even slightly scary, like when Shadow-Man's evil spirits went searching through New Orleans for the prince and there was much shrieking and scary sounds. There was quite a bit more frogginess than I had anticipated, though. And the prince's accent was weird. It was like a strange mix of Arabic/Italian/French/Island accents. All in all, though, I enjoyed the movie.
