Sign of the times...
Feb. 15th, 2011 09:29 amLong, long ago, I was into Disney. I fell in love with the Lion King movie and I was collecting everything Disney I could get my hands on. Even wacky things, like the books auction houses gave out when holding Disney auctions and the Disney annual stockholders books.
I spent tons of money through eBay, and one of the things I bought were those stockholder books. Then someone gave me a clue: If you buy even one single Disney stock, you'd get that book free forever! So I did. One stock hadn't cost much ($25? $50?), and every year I got wonderful book after wonderful book, full of art you'd see no place else.
Even now, when I'm not into Disney so much anymore, I still enjoyed looking through those glossy pages.
This year's book? Black and white. Plain (newspaper quality) paper. Not one single picture in it. It's so depressing and boring! I hope they go back to pretty, color, glossy books when the economy recovers.
Also I was debating posting about this earlier, I didn't think it merited its own post, but I can tack it on to this one.
voidmagus, would you please stop ( setting me up to be raped by a child molester in my dreams? )
