The Electric Mayhem

We am, is, are and be they whom as are known as the Electric Mayhem

VFC was talking about the Muppet movie in a post today. Of course the flashbacks come rolling in. The first one was mom calling into some radio program and winning the vinyl of "The Muppet Movie" and "Xanadu", followed by memories of watching The Muppet Show on Sunday nights after the Disney movie of the week.

Don't think there's anything cooler than a Muppet.Other more recent memories were of deciding what Muppet you most resemble during a Thanksgiving trip to Big Bear. Somehow the guy I was dating at the time was pegged as Gonzo and I by default became Camilla the Chicken - whatever.  A few years ago I used Sweetum's as a reference to a guy I went a on blind date with, I swear it was him! Now can you picture that?

Love Me Some Replay

Posted on by
2 things in life are a certain for me, I love music and I love reading. Now I've got a 3rd - I love my Replay. Watched 5 hours of "100 Best Love Songs" in under 2 hours. With Replay I was able to skip commercials and get to the meat of things. Can you imagine an additional 3 hours of time wasted? I record all my shows now and fast forward through the commercials. Critics have said this is abusing the rights granted to me by doing this, but it's my house I pay for my cable, I paid for my TV and I paid for my Replay - I'm not paying my time too.

Different Reading and Different Dances

read a ton of roald dahl during the trip down and back to LA. i love that guy! i was flipping through his short stories "tales of the unexpected", they kill me. speaking of which i remember reading "a lamb for the slaughter" (or whatever the name) sometime back in grade school. i didn't realize it was him. his work reminds me of dr. suess or shel silverstein, in so far as they've all become well-known for kids books but they've done "adult books" or books with adult themes. i remember shel's "different dances" when jay showed it to me a few years back.  

The Reading Rainbow

Love not having a computer at home right now. Read the screwtape letters by c.s.lewis and starting in on herman hesse's siddhartha last night. they were both great books. i was cracking up at the screwtape letters! he dedicated the book to J.R.R. Tolkien, i wonder if that's where he got the idea for a trilogy? He wrote the Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe later.
