Jim Henson

Okay, so I'll admit it. I'm twenty-two as of writing this and I adore the Muppets. I grew up watching the later seasons of the Muppet show and classics like Muppets in Space and Muppet Christmas Carol like any other child of the 60's to 90's.

Though I have to make another confession, there's just something about watching these guys. If I were to watch actors or cartoons performing the same slapstick and puns (except maybe the Three Stooges) I'd probably think it was terrible. There's just something about a pig throwing around other felt and wire puppets in a rampage.

 With the new release of the new muppet movie, it seems the world is just now learning just what a creative genius Jim Henson was. He was a man that just made you want to go 'wow', who inspired countless others to dream and gave generations of children something that the mostly garbage programs we see on most kid networks today could never hope to achieve.

I had never seen Jim Henson's sketches and notes until this year until I came across other blogs and sites, but when I did I poured over every detail. Henson created a world anyone could immerse themselves in, be it the Dark Crystal or Seasame Street.

While I would absolutely love to be able to go to an exhibit, alas, I'm, a poor college student. However, there's hope for all of you out there. In California there will be The Lovers, the Dreamers, and Me - A Jim Henson Tribute Exhibition.

The Asteroids Galaxy Tour

I'm sure several people have already seen the shortened version on tv, but I loved the song and had to look it up. Found this and had to post it up here. Would love to go to a party like this. :D

Ghost Adventures-Bobby Mackey's

Looks like the new Ghost Adventures season is going to be a good one. :) I'm excited that the guys are going to places in Kentucky too.

Sym-bionic Titan

Anyone else watching this show? I love it so far, with this and the new scooby doo series it looks like cartoon network is finally making good shows again. Who knows who actually had the bright idea to make live action shows and to cancel toonami... Not to mention it's by Genndy Tartakovsky so it's bound to only get better. ( Samurai Jack, Power Puff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory, etc.)

An exciting hybrid of high school drama and giant robot battles, Sym-Bionic Titan follows the adventures of three beings from the planet Galaluna: Princess Illana, her bodyguard Lance, and their Robot Buddy Octus. Escaping from their home from the advance of the powerful General Modula, they crash-land in Sherman, Illinois and pose as high school students. However, Modula's forces have followed in pursuit and now they must defend their new home from his many monsters with their mechs.
