Perhaps if something were to break up the repitition of that song, it will be a little less likely to get stuck in your head, hearing it over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, again.....

Just E-filed our taxes.

We get a nice federal refund! We'll be able to pay off Ken's car and a small loan, so it will save us $250 every month in bills and let us breathe a bit easier.

I hope the state's interest will be nice once it pays out too.

It's a happy night!

5% (Which is pretty good right now!). However, it may not start accruing until April (though I am not sure on that).

Rock on! Glad it's coming in early!

Did you do check or direct deposit?

Most of the iasw additions are innocuous enough, I suppose. Some blend in surprisingly well (although one might wonder why they bothered...) Some (Ariel comes to mind) stick out like big ol' sore thumbs. Still, it all pales in comparison to the "tribute to all nations, but mostly America" room. Some things, like the addition of some instrument parts (similar to the bagpipes) are quite good, actually.

Spoiler:

The problem is that the America section is just lifeless. It looks like a 3rd grade diorama. I mean, if you were going to do something controversial, wouldn't you want to make it look good? I barely noticed the Timon and Pumba, because they blended in so well. But the America room is just plain pathetic. (and the hollywood-style search lights painted over the door to the white room? egads!) It's just so static and really quite pathetic looking. And the transition to the white room is horribly abrupt. If it weren't for that section, I'd be in the "don't see why it needed doing, but at least you didn't fvck it up" camp. As it is, I give that portion a big ol' WTF?

The sound mix made me want to stab myself in the eardrums.

Everytime they put in some other tune than "It's A Small World", it turns into a cacophonous mess that's about as pleasant as a razorblade enema.

Direct deposit. We found out it came in when I saw the much higher than expected balance after depositing my paycheck.

I meant Disney movie songs, silly old bear!

Who knows maybe it will spice it up but I doubt it.

I watched the video link listed a few posts back, and couldn't hear much change (ie the Aladdin theme or Alice) but I did think that "when you wish upon a star" blended into the main theme nicely for Pinocchio. Second viewing, and I heard "In the golden afternoon" for Alice, and I think I heard a snatch of "a whole new world" near Jasmine and Aladdin, but not much more than that main phrase. Doesn't seem too intrusive (imho) Whole new word was the one that clashed the most.

I don't find the extra characters out of place except for Stitch, whom I've never really liked, and who takes attention away from Australia and Nemo. I shall Snub Stitch when I go through.
