In honor of Jim

For some reason, I've had many experiences with and conversations about the Muppets lately (my computer doesn't recognize that Muppets is a word. So sad). Not that this is a bad thing, I love the Muppets. I love the movies, the show, Sesame Street. Basically, Jim Henson had the Midas touch of entertainment. Everything he touched turned to golden beauty. So, I have some clips for you to watch, just to pay homage to the man behind the puppets.

There are a lot of them. You have been warned.

Some thoughts about Empire

Luke, stop looking so smug.

She's your SISTER.

How does everybody understand Chewie?
Do they learn Wookie in elementary school?

Lando looks like Levar Burton.

Why does C-3PO think everyone
wants to know the odds?

If Han doesn't have any scruff,
why does Leia call him scruffy?

Are there other creatures that look
like Yoda in the Dagobah System?

Does the Dagobah System smell bad?
It looks like the Bog of Eternal Stench.

Are there places that aren't "perfectly
safe for droids?"

Why do I always assume that when Lando
is giving them "refreshments" that means carrots?

Where did R2 learn to swim, and why
isn't he rusting?

What tried to eat R2?

I wish I could talk to the Millennium Falcon.

WHY does Leia act like she doesn't like Han? He's
Harrison Ford! I would jump on that
(figuratively. I'm not a hussy).

you can't throw his head, you can only throw your own head!

this morning, i woke up with some crazy hair. it looked like this:it was the side that was pinned that freaked me out the most. it just stuck out a lot. (you see? on the left side? ok.)

for some reason, when i looked at myself in the mirror, i was reminded of this guy:photo courtesy of
i had a sudden urge to take off my head and throw it.
