laughter and memory and stubbornness

a few links, first.
from nacht_musik, who knows how to make me smile:
Kermit the Frog and Sandra Bullock, with another Mahna song...Phenomena! (even better, the phrase "Ik zie allemaal rare beestjes...")

from Zoz:
a series of video clips on/by Tats Cru, with some good footage of the creation of their Big Jimmy memorial mural, and other bits from their time

Wish I'd made it to your art meme in time. I've been thinking of you.

The crisp fall days of the last week or so are one of the best things my part of the world offers.

i do miss the northeast fall. i only catch momentary hints of it here...but soon the rain will start, and the air will be damp and clean, and then the green things will start growing and blooming again.

feel free to do the art-meme anyhow; i'm not limiting it, but it may take me awhile to get around to everything. at the least, you'll probably get an Actual Letter, which is not entirely unlike Art.

There's a talented local (atlanta) rap group called Mina Mina Goodsong ( http://www.minaminagoodsong.com/ ) , who take their name from the mina mina song (or mahna mahna, I suppose). In their lyrics, hey've described their music as "party music"

Also, they have a song whose chorus references Beaker. And marshmallows. First time I saw them live, they had a guy wearing a Beaker outfit and mask, throwing marshmallows at the crowd. Then they drained the bag into beaker's mouth. Which is to say, on top of the guy's head.

*laugh* the world is a strange, strange place.

did i ever show you the set of Muppet mini-puppets my mother gave me for christmas one year?

[violin]

Nope-- I don't think you've had the chance (I haven't visited in quite some time too long. But, you've told me of them, and they sound great.

[violin]

Heh. I finally got a chance to watch the Phenomena clip. I love that Mr. Frog is Meneer Kikker

*grin* "rare beestjes!"

A fine band name, it should be noted!
