housekeeping

I've been slacking in the blogging department lately, I apologize. Life just got rather hectic. I've been working overtime at work and have a few side projects that have been taking up most of my free time. I hope to have things back under control for next week, but until then, how about a few little random thoughts & things?

• I admire that KFC is completely unapologetic about how outrageously unhealthy their food is. "We're KFC. Are we adding a 'healthy options' menu? No. We've created a bowl of mashed potatoes and fried chicken topped with bacon bits. You're welcome."

• Are you guys watching 2 Broke Girls? Because it is hilarious, and you should be. 

• My fabulous friend Helen has a blog, and she is hilariously sharing her dating pratfalls. You guys should check it out. It will make your love life look so sane and tame.

• Have you seen the trailer for Hunger Games yet?! I'm unabashedly excited for this. Here you go. You're welcome.

• Thanksgiving is next week. THANKSGIVING IS NEXT WEEK. How did this happen? Where did November go? Truth: not a big fan of turkey. Unless it's fried. But the mashed potatoes and stuffing? That's why I show up. I invented carbo-loading.

the green album

Is this maybe a little dorky? Yes. Is this also maybe a little awesome? Heck yes. I can't be the only one who has fond, fond childhood memories of The Muppet Show. These songs were staples in my elementary school music classes. My fifth grade "moving on" ceremony included a rendition of "Movin' Right Along" and I still know all the words.

The Green Album, available on August 23rd, is being streamed on NPR currently. I think this is one I will also be adding to my iTunes library next Tuesday. The renditions are modern without being too silly or trite. Give them a listen and see for yourself. I dare you not to be immediately enamored with Ok Go's rendition of The Muppet Show Theme Song. And Rainbow Connection? Don't even get me started.
