The unbearable lightness of being green

[shoebox2]

Public-service announcement: I'm still feeling a little badly over that Kalan Porter gag from last week - not the others, so much; it's hard to envision anything that could get me worked up over for instance JayDee. Were they to invent a Preppy Minivan-Riding Idol Winner repellent spray, I'd keep an impressive stock in the hall closet at all times

It's quite surreal that everybody on my f-list has started talking about THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH just as I'm finishing up reading the last chapter to my boys (who both love it, although the 5-year-old's a little more enthused than the 7-year-old). First kalquessa, now you. What gives?

Also, re That Boy: I used my Puretracks coupons from Hunt's Pudding Cups to purchase "Hurray" and "Karma King", since I have no intention of getting the actual album. True story.

Also, er, hi? *waves*

Hi! [pounces and hugs hard] I was just thinking, it must be far enough after the holidays that people wouldn't mind me pouncing on them again. :^)

In re: "Tollbooth", I was actually thinking about you quite a lot, during this latest re-read; particularly the chapter wherein Milo visits the fortress of the Soundkeeper, and we get a cavalcade of audio/visual synaesthesia.
It's really the most extraordinary creative concept to play with, isn't it? My favourite bit is when she says 'we have many of the songs you often sing' and pulls out 'a pile of brightly-coloured scarves'.

Also, thx much for the link to kalquessa's journal. One more on the carefully-hoarded pile of really creative, clever blogs...which reminds me [pops off to friends' blogs to pounce some more...]
