One more reason to love Feist and Norah Jones!

-
Never knew that two of my favorite female vocalists each did a music video with Sesame Street, before!

Translated into Louise-speak this means that Peter Varvel's and Prince Gomolvilas's affection for The Muppets is actually beginning to grow on me, too.

I'm a late bloomer. I grew up pretty much post-Sesame Street, and my kids wouldn't move past Nick Jr. on the remote, so I really am still a novice Muppets fan.

However, when I see clips like these two, and of course the famed REM video, I am reminded how cool the Sesame Street folks are.

Fiest and the Muppets


Norah Jones and Elmo



How did I raise two kids and not know about these clips till now?

Now, if the Muppets could line up Nellie McKay and Aimee Mann to work with, that'd really tickle my Elmo.

I tried to get my wife to tickle my Elmo last night, but got shot down.

Try to catch episodes of 'The Muppet Show,' too. Once I grew up, I realized that they are really aiming their humor at adults - not kids.
And this is why I always wanted to become famous - so that I could do a guest spot with a Muppet.
Mike, I have it on good authority that Prince is willing to tickle your Elmo.

Mysterious Skin: Amazing night of theater at East West Playersysi

-
Last night I made my way up and out of Orange County to go see Mysterious Skin, written by Prince Gomolvilas now enjoying it's Los Angeles premiere at East West Players. ***Note:  I am not a reviewer.  I am not a critic.  (I married one, which is why I can say with confidence, I am not this.  If you want real reviews of Mysterious Skin  you'll have to look to other publications wise enough to have send their press in to cover this show now running at East West Players.) Me? Currently, I am just an Orange County mom who loves theater almost as much as she loves writing.  (True, I used to act, but now I just "mom."  And I write.  But, again to clarify: Not a critic.) And these her blogged thoughts are just my day-after impressions after having seen some great theater in Los Angeles last night. I have to say, I was in a hurry.  I had my kids to juggle,  too pick up from their schools...Dance classes, etc.  Hustling them hom...

Here we go with one more political freak out about "socialism"...again.

-
I'm seeing more of this brewing, festering hate lately, and I just can't get my brain around it all. The pick up trucks on the freeway with their proud "teabagger" stickers. Occasional social gatherings where I over here mutterences like, "the next time it'll be Mitt's turn." or some other bizarre garbage.  I mean, I live in Orange County, so occasionally even when I try to help it, this does occur. But, the truth is, I just don't get the beef.   Ever heard of Medicare?  That's government healthcare which alot of them wouldn't be willing to give up.  Why is logic such a stretch for these people? Check out this video below where this guy goes bat-shit ballistic over his apparent resistance to "socialism." What is most scary is that people seem hellbent on hate, regardless of what that means.  Some people just want a huge drama and hate-fest whether or not it's logical. The hate addiction is what scares me the most...

I tried to flush Schaeffer's sweater down the toilet.

Especially when those paths go back even farther than high school.  I think he and I were butting heads as far back as elementary school! If my memory serves me right, Schaeffer and I ended up, briefly, in the Guilford Central School together.  Fall 1968.  Yep. I was a newly transplated girl from New Orleans dropped unceremoniously into a tiny, extremely humble elementary school out in the boondocks of southern Vermont.  I had NO idea what the hell I was doing there and was suffering my own case of "Other-itis."   I In my case, as an only child of often charming, but highly eccentric parents, my wild ride hit some very bumpy patches, More on that later. Back to Eric:  See as a newcomer that year to Vermont from New Orleans I had an accent.  I wore dresses and probably continuing too make my parents happy by literally curtseying to the adults they trotted me out to meet. Politely.  Of course.  That was my job.   I can promise ...
