Okay, so I added a labels list over there on the right. I much prefer those that are arranged in a little square, if you know what I'm talking about. Anyone know how I go about acquiring one of those instead of the huge long list I have here?

more muppets and a sale
Faboo title, I know. (I had forgotten about Wakko's penchant for "faboo" until I was trolling through those Animaniacs clips.)
Anyhow, this is one of the songs on our Sesame Street album [the beginning is a bit cut off, though]:
And, this, is just one of my favorite Sesame Street songs, although I'm not sure why:
As for the rest of my post, I bought those pants for Pic last weekend at Savers. They kind of crack me up. Anyhow, this is not just gratuitous flashing of the funny pants...Savers is having a 50%-off all used items sale tomorrow in honor of Veterans' Day (we're so weird..."let us celebrate the service some men and women have performed for our country with discounted prices on linens and clothing and used stuff"...oh my).
exhaustion
Wow, I can't believe I've never used that for a title before. Anyhow, I'm deliriously exhausted. I'm sitting here, intermittently typing and then wrapping my hands around my hot mug filled with steamy Sleepytime tea sweetened with a bit of honey. When I'm finished with this post, I'm going to lay on the couch and pretend to sleep.
I don't want to be here long, so I'm going to take the One Minute Writer prompt and run/type/whatever with it. Today's prompt is "Where is your favorite place in your home?" Here goes...
So, I don't really have a favorite place. If we had a fireplace, I'd say there. I'm just so restless all of the time, so I'm never in one place for any good amount of time. It drives Cardo and the covert cats crazy. If I were forced to pick a place...well, I just wouldn't. I'm not good at this game. Wow, three seconds left. There's the buzzer.
Right, something better next time, I kinda-sorta promise.

p.s. on s.s.
Because I live in this weird past-time (not pastime) in the blogosphere, I'm reading way old entries on finslippy. Oddly enough, I just came across this Sesame Street-related entry.
Then, I read all of the comments to this entry, too. One person posted a link to, uh, Grover fan fiction.
can you tell me how to get...
...how to get to Sesame Street?
My favorite character ever, the very cute and adorable Grover.
I have to say, that I didn't watch a lot of it when I was growing up. I must have watched it sometimes, because I remember it, but I wasn't one of those kids who watched it daily or anything (although I kind of wanted to be). I don't know where I was. Maybe it just aired during my naptime or something. I'm pretty certain we had a tv when I was a toddler and preschooler, although I can't remember watching tv until I was in elementary school. Then, as I've mentioned, I was busy watching Reading Rainbow, Mr Rogers' Neighborhood, Murder, She Wrote, MacGuyver and horror and science fiction movies.
Now that I have my very own kidlet, though, I've been watching a lot more Sesame Street. I can't remember when Pic started watching it...2006, I guess, maybe last year. All I know is that I remember enjoying Sesame Street a lot more when I was younger. The show didn't seem so formulaic (and, I don't think it was). By the time Pic started watching it, I could map out the whole episode, in general terms, before we started watching it. I'd really like to be able to buy "Sesame Street: The Complete Season 1-39" or something. I want to watch the older episodes.
I wonder if, when we were all younger, my parents felt about Sesame Street the way I feel about it now. Maybe they didn't enjoy it. Maybe that's why I didn't watch it so much. I just keep telling myself that it was definitely better in years gone by.
What do you guys think? Do you remember Sesame Street being better than it is? (Um, yes, I realize that most of you probably don't watch the show...you're not really missing much, unless you enjoy enduring at least, at least, twenty minutes of Elmo a day.)
an old flame, rekindled
I have no idea how old this is, but Czechoslovakia? I thought I watched Animaniacs later than I did.
Oh, poor loverly Wakko. I didn't hear him phrase that as a question. Also, I somehow missed Hawaii. Nevermind, I got it, "Here's Honolulu, Hawaii's a joy."
Truman...the weird little human.
Okay, I seriously forgot how much I freaking loved this show. In fact, I love it more now, with just these clips. I wonder if I can buy the series.
