Riot and Frolic

I would suggest not overlapping the multimedia links I'll present here.  That might make you loopy.

– I'm pretty sure I mention my excitement for the new Muppet movie every time I teach a group class.  So, ye of the Saturday noon class are well-aware of its existence.  You might also be aware of my likeness to a Muppet while teaching group classes.  Somewhere between Fozzie Bear and Animal, you learn a Waltz pattern or two.  Anyhoo, there will be a field trip this Thanksgiving to screen this most wonderful film.  Jason Segel (How I Met Your Mother, Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall [funniest song EVER in this link])) is in the flick, and he's pretty much the best. Even so, I try to keep my expectations low with any movie.  But THE MUPPETS!

– I heard this song after work yesterday.  It's great.  It's long.  It makes me want to stick my arm out the window while driving and air-surf with my hand.  Also, this album has a song called "Minnesota, WI."  And that's funny.  Way to go, Bon Iver [sounds like "Bonnie Vair"].

– This article just made me laugh when I saw the headline: Rent-a-Goat.  (Image: Rent-A-Ruminant)  It's a fun idea, so thanks to Re-Nest for its random coverage of all things Home.

– G and the ladies are taking off the weekend.  The fact that they're leaving (and doing something fun) is not the exciting part.  The exciting part is that I'll get many projects and much work done while they are away.  I'll probably also give in to my natural desire to hide in the basement whenever there is a thunderstorm (how many days in a row have we had them now?) since I don't have to brave wife/mama with no one else around.  Neat.  

Here is the latest progress on the quilt (project #1).  It's all cut and ready for piecing together! There's even scraps for test runs!

– The Hunger Games.  *Sigh*  I'm on Book Two.  I do not know how they could be in the "teen fiction" section.  They are like Kevin Garnett…  Dark.

– the word "eleventy."  I came across it on a woman's blog awhile ago and thought it was hilarious.  I love making up words and this woman had made up "eleventy"?… and was very funny to boot.  Now, of course, this was before I discovered Pinterest, so I'm sure I will never find her charming blog again, but after looking the word up via Google, it only got better.

– Men With Scruff.  Absolutely brill.  Thanks for pic.
