I really wish I'd kept a blog in my twenties. How else am I meant to remember the "dark ages" of my life otherwise?
And now with dementia taking over my brain it's kind of a race against time to document my memories.
One of them is Fantasia 2000. I (thought I had) vivid memories of watching this on Friday evenings when I was living in my flat in Marrickville. I'd have a shot or two of Cointreau and be very happy watching it before watching something "edgier" after. I lived there from February 2000 to May 2001.
According to IMDB it was released in Australia (presumably theatrically) in June 2000.
I also thought I saw it for the first time after November 2000 at Cynthia's place, because I thought I saw it for the first time at her place and was super excited to see the "been-there" at Times Square during the Rhapsody in Blue sequence (I was in New York in November 2000).
So the logic would be I saw it in late 2000 with Cynthia, bought the VHS tape soon after, and watched it in early 2001. Except early 2001 was a pretty dark time after my car got kidnapped and murdered and I don't remember many happy times there before I eventually bought my place in Kogarah and moved houses.
So I dunno. Maybe the memories were more of it at Kogarah... I didn't think so though...
It's all part of Life's Rich Tapestry..
