The corruption of Cookie Monster

The lovely and amazing Amy Sedaris was on Sesame Street this morning. There’s a woot for you, friends. Now, I didn’t watch the entire clip, but I believe she tried to get Cookie Monster to eat an apple. APPLE. The woman is twisted, and now there’s proof.
Speaking of twisted: OMG, House-fans, how great was that […]

OMG! WEATHER! CUE PANIC!

I promise I will not be an uppity Midwestern snob about this “Valentine’s Day Ice Storm.” This is me zipping my lips of all weather-related snark: zzzzzzzip.
So! That said, here are some weather-related things I’ve liked so far today:
• Kottke.org: “Right now, “Unknown Precipitation” is falling from the sky in NYC …”
• the Maryland Weather […]

Mommy drinks, but not because you cry

So! Owen and I watched the Today Show yesterday morning, on which Melissa Summers was invited to talk about whether “cocktail playdates” are appropriate. Basically, Meredith Vieira was asking, is it ever OK for a mother to drink in the presence of her children? (story)
Unfortunately for mothers everywhere, the piece was quite biased. And […]

What, me, unreasonable?

So: Overwhelming panic and despair at the conviction that, because you now have a hole in your skull resulting from the removal of a steel post that was holding your tooth in, you are going to contract an awful infection and die, painfully, leaving your husband bereft, your son motherless, and your flipper fetus baby […]

SNES to the rescue

It’s a totally nineties retro week here on the Eastman farm. We’ve got Pearl Jam, a young John Cusack, and … wait for it …
SUPER NINTENDO!

Just, nobody tell him about the A button B button thing, OK? Otherwise he’ll beat my high score.

Speaking of funny looking

Who else is like, totally psyched for tonight’s season premiere of America’s Next Top Model? Also, who else watches America’s Next Top Model while eating ice cream from the carton?
Just me?
Just checking.
Just a warning to whatever newcomers may lurk here: I get kind of retarded about ANTM blogging. I just can’t help myself.

Supreme Muppet/Sesame Street YouTube Roundup

Back atcha with more HENSON MADNESS as I enjoy the spoils of my illicit trip to Trader Joe’s (don’t tell the husband; it puts us over our Grocery Budget for the week):

A giant roundup of Sesame Street/Muppets clips on YouTube. My friend A. of Tiny Baby hipped me to it; she came by the link […]

So I have this thing about the Muppets

Two nuggets of awesomeness while I decompress from our whirlwind Memorial Day. (one-arm sunburn! sick baby! hours and hours and HOURS of driving! whee!)

Nostalgic Sesame Street DVD set coming in October
Fraggle Rock “theatrical release” AND sequel to The Dark Crystal are in the works.

Thanks, Amelia, for the news tip!

ANTM 2-days-after blogging: Because the hecklers told me to

And by ‘hecklers,’ I mean ‘Matt.’
I can write about the America’s Next Top Model finale now, right? All y’all TIVO beetches have watched it, right? ‘Kay.
So like, hey! What an anticlimactic ending! I felt pretty good when Jade finally got the boot — girl can’t take direction to save her life, and also I […]

Supafine: Boring and increasingly not personal

HOLY CRAP, y’all. The Office season finale. Holy crap.
I know I’ve spent at least a week talking politics and motherhood and pushing links and discussing ANTM, but I have to make one more post about TV before I ease back into, y’know, feelings and shit. Or rapturous sonnets about the way Owen says “juice” (for […]
