Hooray for Saturdays: movie, TMBG TV
Today is Saturday. Alas, it rained all day. Mostly I was asleep. But we are going to go see the Hitchhiker's movie at 10, which should be fun. I know I may not look like much of a fan now, but I have a tape of the bad miniseries somewhere, and I bought the Infocom text adventure of it. (Starship Titanic was fun too. I wonder if they ever made a Mac port of that, and if it will still play on computers these days.) I recall enjoying the Long Dark Teatime books as well. It's been years since I read the Hitchhiker's books, and I don't really recall what happened in which book, which probably will make the movie more tolerable.
I was channel-surfing just now, and I came across a channel with a guy playing an accordion. "Huh, accordion. Red," said my brain. (Yesyes, like Arthur Dent and yellow. I know.) This was followed a second later by "That guy looks a lot like John Linnell of They Might Be Giants," and a bit later by "Dude, he's playing 'She's an Angel.'" Yep, there was some TMBG half-hour concert promoting their latest kids album. That was nice to see. Random acts of TMBG make me happy, especially when said acts involve "Twistin'' and "Don't Let's Start." It's a a shame I don't like their newest kids album as much as their last one. But yay, TMBG.
