It has been questioned why Walt Disney built the castle relatively small (it only rises 75 feet above the moat), but he actually had a very good reason.
He recalled that the tyrants of Europe built huge, imposing castles in order to intimidate the peasents. Disney wanted his castle to be friendly, so it was built on a smaller scale

My second nephew was born today at approximately 6am. When Dylan was born, I saw him through a window among a dozen other Asian babies. Edwin pointed out Dy (I think he was wrong) but he was so far behind the glass but today, I got to see Connor close-up. I am a very sentimental/emotionally-charged person but I am rarely profoundly moved by weddings/babies (as awful as that sounds). But something about being so small and so slight and being a product of love just did something to me today. So wonderful and beautiful and pure, I didn’t know what to do with myself.
I spent the rest of the day also in good company. Lee and I went to Costco with his mother before a splendid meal of dollar fish tacos & a fantastic screening of The Avengers with friends. Superhero movies NEVER do it for me either, I am largely indifferent toward them and rarely make an effort to go see them. But god, The Avengers was so so excellent.
Dylan is a big brother!
Aunt for the second time.

Two weeks since I have been home
Today, I helped my mum bake, washed Peanut, and devoured an entire plate of spaghetti & ravioli at a cute little Italian place with one of my best friends.
Made a life decision in the shower today yay yay—truly hope that works out. Anyway, the breeze blowing in through the window is perfect, listening to “The Way You Look Tonight” wah wah romantic, eating watermelon whilst reading Murakami. Though the days are slightly monotonous, they are sort of swell in that sense. Maybe.
