Yip Yip Yip - My Favorite Sesame Street Skits

Sesame Street is celebrating its 40th anniversary. I was thinking about my sesame street memories - sitting on our 1970's mustard yellow couch in an oversized t-shirt, undies and socks watching Big Bird, Burt & Ernie and Oscar the Grouch - and being completely entertained. And this was before Elmo was a big deal and every episode had a movie/music/tv star.

I guess it was the random characters that captured my attention but I think it was also that I understood what they were saying to me. I understood a's and b's and 3-2-1. I understood blue and orange. And I understood playing, laughing, smiling. Watching something that resonates with you, even as a little kid, was pretty intriguing.

Here's a clip of my favorite characters, the Yip-yip-nope-nope aliens. Even as a kid, I guess I was mesmerized by sci-fi.

Not a Crazy Cat Lady

Just scanned through my last few blog posts and realized that if some stranger happened across my blog they would undoubtedly say to themselves, "another crazy cat person" and move on.

I'm really not. It just seems that this blog seems to be my random outlet for cat nonsense. To those that read every-so-often, I apologize. I'll try to diversify my content a bit.

For instance, I am putting together my list of top 10 X-File episodes for my own amusement. I shall share shortly. If you want to put your vote in, feel free.
