In response to Solomon's comment about my last post: oh, no doubt the Muppets rock, but who wants to be "Miss Piggy" for Halloween? (at least I don't)--Janice is more like it. Fraggle Rock was a Jim Henson creation as well, and "Red" would be an easy costume to put together, with the added bonus of people trying to guess who I am all night.....but she's currently ranked down at the bottom of my list of Halloween costume options.
On another note: looking at the Muppetcentral.com website I noticed that "Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas" is coming out on special edition DVD. Damn it! I bought a non-special edition of "Emmet" 2 years ago in attempt to rekindle that Christmas feeling from my childhood (which worked!).....I always loved the song Ma and Emmet sing at the end. My sister and family (grandpa, grandma and dad included) didn't get the same warm fuzzy feeling when I sat all of us down to watch it at Christmas time. They just don't get it. :)
A fun quote from today's Public Health Policy class provided by Dr. Len Nichols, Director of the Health Policy Program for the New America Foundation:
"If it [policy issue] makes it into the newspaper it's regarded as truth, or at least it then has to be dealt with. Newspapers are read in Washington not out of enjoyment or interest, but out of fear of what policy issue needs to be addressed next". Bottom line: when working for a policy think tank, the press is your friend.
Later :)

J - i'll have to check out this emmet the otter thing at some point. i, however, prefer watching the muppets christmas carol each year and that probably my favorite christmas movie of all time. i still don't know if i'm sold on the fraggle thing, but you could always go as animal (or one of the other many cool characters from the MUPPETS!) --
