Ridiculousness
I have to say I find The Decemberists' lyrics a bit ridiculous at times. You know, the kind of ridiculous where I chuckle at them fondly while singing them. ;) They seem to have got that whole work theme going on - ooh~, sailors. Ooh~, soldiers. Ooh~, miners. And some of the songs sound like old folk tales. But there is something about their music ... I can't quite put my finger on it (trololol Merlin quote XD). "Rox in the Box" from their new album makes me feel like I'm finally back home after a long time. I have no idea. Maybe I used to know a children's song that sounded similar??
What's even more puzzling is that while I was contemplating this, I inexplicably had to think of that cheesy old film I used to like, The Magical Legend of the Leprechauns. Ahaha. Oh dear, that was on German television once a year or so and I watched it every. Single. Time. Maybe around Christmas? Is that why it occured to me just now? In retrospect I can't help but think that it's probably also ridiculous, but oh man. Fairies and leprechauns and Whoopi Goldberg? As a teenager I was in looooove with it. :D
*looks at screencaps* OMG THAT IS WHERE I KNOW THE GUY FROM PARKED FROM. Riddle: solved!
And thus concludes today's trip down memory lane.

I added it to my Amazon wishlist once, but it was really expensive at the time and then I forgot about it for a few years.
... I am so going torrent hunting now. XD

Whenever I mention my love for this movie, people are generally like "o_O ???", and I'm all "..... I'll just change the topic now, yeah?"

Haha, I'll probably still love it just as much when I watch it again. I mean, logic tells me I might have grown out of it, but since when has my taste in entertainment ever been logical?!
Now I'm remembering all these little half-snippets of scenes that I used to find funny, but it's been so long ...

I know that in the beginning there is *some* sort of scene involving several young leprechauns (brothers?) being adorably mischievous. And that absolutely everyone in that film was cute.
... I dimly recall having made a bunch of really bad icons of it once.
..... OMG. I just unzipped a file called "seeehr alt.zip" AHAHA this is hilarious. But what I don't understand is why the few I remember looking halfway decent are the only ones that aren't in there. TO THE PHOTOBUCKET.
....... HAHAHA FOUND THEM
