For those of you wondering what SOPA/PIPA are, take a look at this video http://fightforthefuture.org/pipa/
As a protest of #SOPA and #PIPA (The Stop Online Piracy Act and Protect IP Act) two pieces of legislation that are up for debate once again on January 18, 2012, I will be blacked out from all my websites, deviantART included. What does this mean?
"On January 18, between 8am and 8pm EST (or 13:00 and 01:00 UTC), Reddit will be blacking out their website in protest of SOPA and PROTECT IP. We request all website administrators worldwide - and especially those running large user-content websites - to black out their website at the same time, to voice their opposition of SOPA and PROTECT IP. This legislation may very well not only change the future of the in

Well, I mean this dA Group is now officially 4 years old! Back when I was planning to create Groups, I figured I'd remember their anniversary dates better if they fell on specific days. For this one, my own birthday was coming around, and so I chose to create it on August 27th! At least I hope it's on that date around the world. If I made it too early, the creation date would be August 26th for the folks in Hawaii. :XD:
Anyway, it's a quieter Group, but still one that I'm glad to have kept active all this time! Thanks everyone! :heart:
Basil...Polo!
Often times I'll come across a random find within something I already own, become amused by it, and I'll want to share it with others to see their thoughts. Hopefully I'll get some feedback, but if not, then thank you in advance for at least viewing this journal entry! :heart:
In The Great Mouse Detective coloring/activity book, there is a page on how to properly write schedules on a calendar. Basil was used as the subject for when he has tea with the queen, practice his violin, and yes, this was a real entry: plays polo!
Polo? As in the game where the players ride on horses? How could a mouse play polo on a horse? Does he ride with a human
Basil's height: a more accurate answer!
Looking back at old journal dates, the last time I talked about Basil's height was on April 4, 2011. That means for two years I've been wondering what is the exact height of the famous mouse detective and never getting a definite answer...until now! I recently had a one-on-one talk with a Disney animator, and what he told me was extremely helpful!
First of all, the circles on animation height charts represent 'head units.' The height chart of Basil and Dawson uses heads to determine their height. Basil was given 4½ heads, Dawson was given 3. Talking to the animator, I asked him if the heads could also stand for inches. He believes thi
Thoughts on corporal punishment
Hello everyone,
The following contains a discussion about corporal punishment (spanking), therefore, it may be too uncomfortable for some. If you don't wish to continue, that's perfectly all right.

As many of you know, I've been a long time fan of The Great Mouse Detective and mostly the lead character, Detective Basil. Ever since I watched him in the film, I considered him a role model, as someone I could go to if I had a problem. Since it was his job to help mice in the world, he felt like someone I could trust. If I were a mouse in trouble, of course. I rediscovered my love for the movie in 2006, and it went from there to keep

EDIT 7: deviantART is NOT blacking out. If YOU CHOOSE to black out, it is a personal choice. Perhaps deviantART will choose to at a later time, but for the moment, they aren't.
