Late to the party but here I go. #20YearsOfGroove

Oh man this Riverdance reference is funny but it sure situates the film in a Moment.

Kuzco kiiiind of pronounces Yzma like “Yeez-ma."

I don’t think I noticed before that Kuzco is happy to eliminate his own food supply so he can have a summer home.

Gonna have to track down a summary of all Yzma’s outfits.

We just got to the lab and she’s on her third pair of earrings.

I highly recommend Feast of Fiction’s recipe for Kronk’s Spinach Puffs.

People talk about how this movie has a Looney Tunes vibe and I think the score is a big part of that. The bit where there’s a bug on a tree branch and then a monkey enters the frame with a little “tink tink tink” reminds me of Randy Rogel’s work on “Animaniacs."

The water splashes as they come down the waterfall remind me of Golden Age animation, especially Pinocchio.

So is Tipo clairvoyant?

Pacha says Chicha made his poncho. Kuzco asks if she knits and Pacha says she crochets. Both of these crafts were brought to the Americas by European colonizers. Real ponchos that inspired Pacha’s were probably made by weaving or nålebinding.

The revolving door in the restaurant scene is used for some classic farce. broadwayeducators.com/tips-for-direc…

And now my kid has informed me that we will be watching the last third of the movie another day, because he wants to play Donkey Kong Country now.

📚 8/31 CHICKENHAWKS & GOLDILOCKS by Grey Vild. Excerpt from “A prayer no one wants to”: “But you smiled when you traced my name in your inventory & I unspooled, fled my tethers, reached so far into the sun no one could find me.” #TheSealeyChallenge

📚 7/31 SPACE BABY: EPISODES I - III by Nicole Oquendo. Excerpt from “I.vi.”: “You have read about the cats of a far planet, how the tamers/will poke with a wooden sword until the animals lean on hind legs/in a kind of stance. Never you.” Sexy and creepy. #TheSealeyChallenge

Here’s how I cope with dissertation-related anxiety: make a plan. Send advisor doomy email about plan & schedule meeting. Get work done. Feel burst of optimism & revise plan & email advisor. Distrust my optimism. Have good meeting with advisor and feel better about everything.

📚 6/31 WOLF DAUGHTER by Amy Watkins. Excerpt from “sixteen”: “It was my voice she wanted,/as I wanted her hair under my chin,/her changing self held this close/for what instinct tells us could be the last time.” More monstrous women, more metamorphoses. #TheSealeyChallenge

📚 5/31 [RE]CONSTRUCTION OF THE NECROMANCER by Hannah V. Warren. Excerpt from “Forgetting More Than I Thought I Did”: “I want to be flesh & warm & unscathed/but skin bruises easier than exoskeleton” ♥️ monstrous women #TheSealeyChallenge

Just over here with my kid binge-watching Mr. Jim’s Story Time (@JimTheLibrarian on Twitter). How’s your day going? If it’s not going well, may I recommend you let Mr. Jim read to you?
