Happiness

A chilly night + corn chowder + cornbread & honey + oranges & grapes + ouzo (opa!) + early birthday gifts + Pirate Finnadore + dreaming of Iceland + delicious red-hot sugar cookies + snuggling under a cozy quilt + Rainbow Brite = one very magical evening with the dearest of friends.

(I actually saw this movie when it was released - in the theatre - at the SeaTac Mall with my friend Anna Huff. I couldn't have been any older than eight. We were the only ones in the show and therefore felt free to do cartwheels in the aisle. It was a dream come true. What amazed me watching it again for the first time in over 20 years (!!!) last night was how much I remembered about it and how real it seemed to me as a child...what if Spectra was completely covered in that awful net?! What if earth was doomed to winter forever?! Should Rainbow choose Krys the space warrior or Brian the only person on earth that can see her (or Buddy Blue)?! Would I really rather be Stormy or Rainbow Brite? And why doesn't Indigo have more lines?)
