So during Morgan Freeman's Cecil B. DeMille award montage on Sunday's Golden Globes, they sneaked in a clip from his stint on The Electric Company:
NEGL, I let out this sound that was somewhere between a scream, a giggle and a squee. I totally remembered this song, even though I was probably a little younger than I was in the icon the last time I saw it.
Okay, the awesome that is Morgan Freeman aside (and no, no one was tickled, damn it) what the hell was with children's educational programming in the 70s and the whole vampire thing? was there a study conducted that showed little kids learn better if the lesson is delivered in mock-Transylvanian? Or, like everything else, should we stick to blaming drugs?

My sister sent me an entire can of pepparkakor.

Incredulous Kristy!
MOAR/Make your own (I made these ones)
Having been obsessed with the BSC for most of my childhood, these are making me cry with hilarity.

Oh hey, friday
Jun. 11th, 2010 09:34 amStill on the upswing today. Staying home from work as a spoon conservation/just in case measure, but feeling in general better enough to not have to go back to bed every four hours. Which is good cause as always I have Shit What Needs Doing.
Had a intensely weird dream about a train that, if you went to bed on time, picked you up and whisked you off on a whirlwind tour of Dreamland and Nightmare. There's a story idea there, I think. I suppose I'd better write it before Neil Gaiman does.
My head's been full of stuff lately, not all of it nice. It's been a bit of a rollercoaster week in the headmeats what with having a super depressed moment on Sunday and Monday and being sick, and money stress and all. But at least it's interesting, and chewing over it is yeilding up some good realizations about myself that need further working on. Mainly my issues surrounding control and other people. Big stuff.
I keep forgetting that I actually like black coffee. It somehow tastes more... I don't know, honest, than if I hop it to the gills with some dairy product and sugar. Which is pretty much exactly the same reason why I stopped taking anything in my tea years ago.
There will be short people this weekend. Another good reason to stay home and make absolutely sure I'm better today.
I had another thought I wanted to put down here, but it's eluding me at the moment, so I guess it's music meme time.
Day 07. A song that reminds you of a certain event
It's not what you think. :) This song actually reminds me of the first time I heard it, the day I met
_kyri IRL in 2007 (jesus was that three years ago already?). I was in Cincinnati over Labor Day weekend for my grandmother's funeral and I stayed for an extra couple of days so I could meet her. (alas, I failed to meet up with bellarisa that weekend... next time) anyway, I had spent the day at Ohio Renaissance Fair (she's in the cast every year) pretending to be a Lady slumming it with the plebs for the day. (Also had my fortune told for shits and giggles and WTF in retrospect that shit totally came true even though it sounded super out there at the time. Jennings still around,
_kyri?) and we were driving back in her car with a couple of her friends and passing King's Island (eeeee, Kings Island!) and this song came on her iPod and I about pissed myself laughing. ("Soaking in the hoisin of your lies" still fucking flattens me with giggles)
Also see icon. :)
I'd like to note that I really wanted to post Toga Party Improv Catastrophe's "Don't Get Plague" instead regarding the same event, but I couldn't find them on YouTube anywhere. So you get Bill Bailey carving his lover's name into his forehead with a math compass instead. FEEL PRIVILEGED.

Not really sure about Alice... it looked interesting when I first heard about the project but the reviews have been meh and what I've seen of it other than Anne Hathaway.... also eh. Skipping for now, I'm sure I can stream it on Netflix at some later date.
