Fraggle Rock





So, I just came across the fact that the old popular television show Fraggle Rock will be made into a movie. Apparently it's been proposed ever since 2006 so I wonder why I haven't found this out yet. Muppet Wiki has all of the information, or at least most of what is out there. Sounds pretty spiffy.

I think it's great that it's going to be a "live-action musical feature." Do I hear another Avenue Q? But then I'm sure the content will be a lot different, or at least I hope so. The themes of Fraggle Rock and Avenue Q don't really fit together.

I vaguely remember the show but it's still part of my childhood. It ended in '87 so I probably saw old reruns. I totally remember the dog in the beginning!

Here's a link to the intro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSDeoO-j3G0

Also, while going down memory lane check out the Muppet Show openning as well. Thanks to the Muppet Show, the name of the blog was possible. Thank you Jim Henson.

Entry number 1

So this is my first post. I've actually been wanting to get a blog for the past month or so, I even had some ideas on what to write about. I forget all of them now though. They were good ideas too.

So I'll be posting my thoughts on various issues in the news, what happened to me that day, videos, etc. Anything really. I'll probably only update once a week at the most, that is what usually happens.

So right now I'm writing the story I'm working on. It's going pretty well and I want to write it, I just don't have any motivation. I wonder why that is. Maybe if I got paid to write it or got graded on it, I would try harder. Any takers?

The story is kind of complicated so I won't post what it's about at the moment. That and I'm lazy. And I usually don't like my story about a month or two after I started it. The story I did for last year's NaNoWriMo, I hate it now and I thought it was a really good idea at the time. But who knows. I actually have an ending to this one so maybe it won't be so bad.
