The Muppets are making an internet come back, y’all! Start from here. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDFgtFXfnv0] I think my face is stuck on a smile now. Springboard from here to the videos from Beaker, Gonzo, and Sam the Eagle. Oh, and the two old dudes Statler and Waldorf have their own channel with video responses to popular YouTube videos. Awesomeness....

Take me to your leader

Water on Mars!  WATER ON MARS! I am such a geek. Oh, and the alien in my eye also hatched today.  The corner of my eye by my nose is still swollen and red but virtually painless at this point.   Yeah, tear duct infection turned out to be more of the infection of my eyelid by the same alien that used to live in my nose, it seemed.

On love, in sadness

I LOVE Ren Faire. Much fun and debauchery on Saturday. I mean, how can you not have debauchery when Greg M. is involved! We drank even before we left the house…you know where this is going, right? I’ll put up the SLIDE show here later, but in the meantime, check out my Ren Faire flickr set. I had 2.5 cups of mead. Would’ve been three but I didn’t drink the last one fast enough before we had to exit the Faire. Everyone else in our group other than Brandon surely had a LOT more than me. Oh and we went...
