RTBTCKI (My what lovely summer weather edition)
Posted By Kathleen David on August 14, 2007
Woke up this morning after some really weird dreams including one that Peter and I think I can get at least a short story out of to find that the humidity that had been so oppressive yesterday seems to have passed through. It is quite comfortable outside right now. I may go out to work on stuff this morning just for a change of scenery.
There are new Muppet related action figures coming out over the next year including Master Replicas, which did the excellent Kermit. They are doing Animal this fall and then the Great Gonzo and Fozzie Bear. There is going to be a second Jareth figure this time with a Hoggle if you get the deluxe edition. There are also Dark Crystal figures in the works. You could buy a Jen on a landstrider and a Urac there maybe. There seems to be some confusing on that point. Then there are the Star Wars Muppet action figures that are only going to be available at the parks later this year.
In DVD news, Muppet Show Season two is out as is Dark Crystal and Labyrinth which I have talked about before. However Fraggle Rock season 3 will be out in September which I didn’t know until this weekend. No news on the Muppet Show season 3 which I am betting is as tied up in knots as season 2 due to getting all the music rights cut lose.
Caroline is getting better about swimming. She is finally learning to breath so she is not just able to go on just one breath. She still needs to work on keeping her legs up while she is swimming. Right now she is setting up today’s toy adventure. Diego and the animals are going to go on a trip with the dinosaurs on the pirate ship to visit the princesses. It is so much fun just sitting here and listening to her running dialogue. My child amuses me greatly.
DragonCon is shaping up for me. I will be doing the puppet lecture/demo as well as programming for Star Wars and Young Adult. So far I don’t think I have anything that conflicts with anything else. So if you are going, that is where I will be found. With the construction in the Mariotte, they have had to shuffle some of the rooms around which should make for some interesting times in finding where programming is. I am looking forward to the convention.
I am grateful for lovely summer mornings.
Your mention of “Labyrinth” and “Dark Crystal” reminds me – what did you (and or Peter) think of “Mirror Mask”?
I thoughtit had excellent ideas (Gaiman – wotta surprise), generally well-realised, but a bit too murky visually.
