Suela, I will happily see
The Muppets
with you, anytime at all. I'm still completely giddy. (And the Pixar short before the movie starts is damn near worth the ticket price all on its own; the splendidness of the actual feature put the entire afternoon deliriously over the top.)
And Allyson, it is 100% Jar Jar free. The only new Muppet is Walter, Gary's (Jason Segal's) brother (and there's not only no explanation for how they're brothers, nobody seems to expect one or even care in the least), and he's sweet (if very mildly emo, but he's a lonely Muppet in a human world so I guess he's entitled), amiable and completely non Jar Jarry.
Heard back from eBay gamer seller. "It should be obvious when you buy a used game that the code will be in use and the issue will need to be got around. But if you insist you can send it back and I'll refund your money." To which I said, "No, it's not at all obvious that an item for sale on eBay is sold in an unusable condition and will need to be hacked. I will refrain from adding a note to my feedback that says you sell items that need to be hacked."
If I don't get a refund, though, notes will be left.
Ugh, Connie, what witless bullshit.
Excellent news on the jar jar front!
I want to try using one of those organizing systems because I get so overwhelmed by all the shit I need/want to do, but I couldn't focus long enough to finish reading about any of them. There's some irony there or something.
Pretty sure I had something else to say, but I forgot.
Oh, I know - The Hidden Habits of Ineffective People. I printed it out to hang on the wall.
I check gothamist daily to make sure Adam Yauch is still alive.
It's such a morbid habit.
I am watching this Investigate Discovery show called "Deadly Women" and they do a lot of reenactments. I think this is wear all the normal looking actors are working!
Saw the Muppets.
TEARS WERE JERKED.
In all the good happy ways.
Aww, thanks, JZ! I'm gonna try to get my friend E to go with me this weekend, but if she's not game, I will totally call on you. I need my Muppets.
I have a vivid memory of the day I heard Jim Henson died. Such a fucking waste: he had another 20 or 30 years of creativity in him, if he'd gotten to the hospital sooner.
