Yes, this 1980 "Muppet Show" (on youtube HERE, but NOT on DVD!) featured the Stars of "Star Wars"! Don't hold your breath for Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, or Yoda, but we do get Mark Hamill, C3PO, and R2D2. They've busted into the Muppets' studio in search of Chewbacca of all things!
The invasion from a galaxy far, far away is okay with Kermit. This scotsman (who gargles Gershwin) was set to host, but Kermit feels the "Star" stars might be better for ratings. But that's not all . . .
Today, you should take advantage of the rain (it must be raining wherever you are!) and snuggle up inside your invisibility cloak to watch "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One"!
I just hope I can make it through the . . . Dobby . . . portions of the movie!
I can't wait for July 15th (Part Two!)
UPDATE: I didn't make it! I wept for Dobby . . . again!! TOO SAD!
On October 12th to be precise when a bargain priced DVD of "He-Man & She-Ra, A Christmas Special." I have no memory of this whatsoever but I must have watched it as I was very into He-Man in 1985. (Yes, as a 4 year old I was drawn to a cartoon series featuring a man in a loin cloth. Go figure).
And Kendall and I have to steal this layout for our "Christmas Home Companion '10" posters! Ho Ho Ho!
In this horrible election era- I found out something great!
Did you know that the DVD seasons of "Roseanne" are so affordable?? I got 3 of them today at an evil conglomerate that is taking over the world- for only $13 bucks a piece!! That's for about 75 shows total!
Click HERE to go see for yourself at Amazon. 8 out of 9 seasons are 15 bucks or less. Buy up and remember the days when working families were able to laugh about their problems.
My, how the tables have turned! It was only a few months ago that I would get a call from Kendall as he was driving home from work, and he would ask "so what did you do today?"
I would reply, "well, I woke up around 1:30 and went to the library where I checked out some DVDs and then I watched one of those DVDs and then I laid here in the heat (it was summer in New York without air conditioning) and the I ate some stuff and then you called."
This is because I was unemployed. Horribly, torturously, tediously, terrifyingly unemployed.
Now the roles have been reversed. I have a job (not a career, there's a big difference) and Kendall's at home everyday. He's got a career, but momentarily no job.
It happens. 'It' being 'life' and 'shit.'
But that brings me to now, MONDAY. Typically, this non-career-job I have is the epitome of easy. And today is no different, except for the fact that every 'easy' task I've undertaken has been an ordeal not unlike old whats-his-face pushing that boulder up Mt.-whaddyacallit.
I suppose without Mondays, Fridays wouldn't seem as sweet. That's what Kendall would say. Although I know that when out of work, everyday seems like every other day and Mondays, Fridays, its all the same. I don't miss not working. Not in the least. But sleeping until 2 in the afternoon on a Wednesday, now that gives me a reason to look forward to retirement.
