Over the past week or so, The Lion King has kept inserting itself back into my life. It's a good thing, definitely...
But I'm in college now, a freshman at Yale... Isn't everyone too old for this stuff?
Well, no, of course not. And it really is comforting that people agree. It was a couple of nights ago that my suitemate and his friend were in the room watching TLK when I got back...
"Wow," I said, "The Lion King is such a good movie..."
"Dude," he said, "I know..."
Later, at a party, I talked to all my friends about the TLK viewing, and everyone agreed: we aren't too old for it. And then, with a little alcoholic inducement, someone started to sing "Can You Feel the Love Tonight," and I chimed in.
Oh, college...
And fittingly, the next day when I went into Bruegger's Bagels, they were playing the identical song.
TLK is following me...
