So, it's been a while since I updated. A few big things of late: Saw Daft Punk before I left. To be honest, I really can't think of a way to do the show justice. It was excellent, although much shorter than I expected. Still, it was absolutely worth $50. If you're curious about the experience, go read this review for the NYC show; it sounds identical to the LA show. Or, you could check out YouTube: the first portion and the encore. Awesome night. Went to Hawai'i!!!! Woohoo! Got two necklaces. (Necklaces are pretty much the only jewelery I'll wear, but I do like them!) Here's a photo of one. I'll take a photo of myself in the other at some point. It was a trip of sea turtles (and one of my necklaces is a sea turtle, looks like made out of abalone shell). I'll try to post the story of the first sea turtle sighting. Summary: we snorkled a number of times, and most of them we saw sea turtles up close. The first time, it was a huge one! Cool animals. I got a bit of a tan. Not as much as I'd like, but I'll take what I can get. The evening of the Daft Punk concert, I also learned about the wonders of UnderArmour. I've since bought two shirts (one shortsleeve, one sleeveless) and may very well buy more. Used both while in Hawai'i, and tested the claim that you'll be cooler wearing them than shirtless. It's true. This stuff is incredible! The lease on my apartment ends August 28th. I'll move into Crothers Memorial Hall at Stanford on September 15th. ( More Daft Punk Videos )

Tags: memories, muppets, video Subject: Barrage of Muppets videos Time: 06:56 pm Current Mood: amused

I was a Sesame Street/Muppet kid. And to be honest, I still enjoy some of the music. Plus, when I was little I used to walk around the house singing Mahna Mahna. (Yes, really.) Here is the complete list that got me on this kick. But my favorites would be: Rhyming Words REM & Muppets - Furry happy monsters Celebrities singing the ABCs (including Ray Charles, Patrick Stewart, Harry Belafonte, and lots of others I don't recognize.) Remember Bud Lucky from the Incredibles? I'm pretty sure Funny farm is done and voiced by him! The alligator king and his seven sons My martian cutie (number nine) Song about riding the subway. And one that my family and I still sometimes reference: Bert and Ernie go fishing (aka "Here fishy fishy fishy!")
