It's a Muppet world

I'm sitting in bed listening to Arcade Fire in the early morning, writing this.
All I need is a mug of coffee (that's coming) and a pencil behind my ear to look... truly cliched.

Saturday night I had a carboloading party, which was much fun. Rob brought over a disk of the original Muppets episodes, and it was *amazing*. Once again, one of those astonishing experiences, where as a kid you saw something phenomenally imaginative, but accepted is as normal; and as an adult, you revisit your memories, and re-evaluate them in light of how phenomenal the original stimulus was.

Muppets drunk at a Christmas party ("freeloaders!! you're all stinkin' freeloaders!"), Beaker singing "Feelings...", Sal Minella the chimp chiropractor, and of course, Pigs in Spaaaaaace. One of the episodes had Prince as the guest star!
