Captain Kangaroo was on for a long time, wasn't he? I thought he was.

I am steaming some sesame seed dumplings right now. They are pretty close to cupcakes, I think, angel food style. I still haven't tried a mug cake - I'm a little afraid, as my microwave is old and weak, that it would never really become cake.

My mug cake overcooked, I think, and was a little weird, but maybe that was the lack of egg? I'd do it again, probably.

I'm totally not telling you what I'm doing with Polgara tomorrow.

I've been asked to write a blog entry about minorities in SFF. Firstly, I don't know anything about books, and secondly, I'm not angry. I do realise, you're supposed to be angry about these things. I'm only exasperated.

I still love the part in Reality Bites where EH says Stiller is "the reason Cliffs Notes were invented" Although I feel more sympathy for Michael now...I could see how you could have good intentions and still be *That Guy*

I have very vivid memories of Captain Kangaroo (with whom I share a birthday, yay!). I can remember getting all excited one day when he started reading a book we had on our shelves at home -- it was MAGICAL. And then, years later, I was happily cruising through a poetry-writing class at college, liking my professor and politely impressed but not awed by her published-author status, when a chance encounter in the campus bookstore clued me in to the fact that she had written my absolute favorite Captain Kangaroo read-aloud ever, and I spent the next month completely tongue-tied with awe of her.

I loved Captain Kangaroo. And Mr. GreenJeans!

Mr. GreenJeans was my favorite.

Mr. Greenjeans and the "human beans" were also my favorite.

ita, do you still have the LOM site?

Tumblr really is like crack. Go away for a few hours and you can just scroll through pretty pretty prettiness for a while.
