Eeeeeeeeeeeemail.

I sent... eight emails tonight.

I never send mail anymore. That is more than I send in a week.

It was neat. Some of them were pure catching up, some were informing others of various pieces of information, one was a very long and rambly mail in reply to a lovely mail.

I am very tired and am going to bed.

However, I thought I should mention that the Muppets are haunting me, because tonight while at work, I dealt with a respondent who mentioned the Muppets COMPLETELY RANDOMLY in a survey where the Muppets are not even remotely a choice. I asked something about comedy on a certain TV network in Canada and she said "I don't really watch that channel for comedy. I mean, if there were better things on it, I would. Like... <pause to think> like if they showed The Muppet Show, I would tune in more often!"

She was 50-something years old.

The Muppets are totally ingrained in our culture. I love it.

I plan to make Muppet icons at some point this week. Who wants one, and what character (and phrase, if you like) would you like on the icon?

(Please note, I will not be able to match the utter perfection of [livejournal.com profile] amesville's Gonzo/Camilla OTP icon (visible here), because nobody can, but I'll try to be clever if you leave me to my own devices.)

They're haunting you!

Can you make me a Janice one? She's not my favourite character of all time, but she did have the most inspired line ever said by a Muppet: "I told him I wouldn't pose nude, even if it was for art." (Preferably with the quote if possible.) Thanks!

Anti-aliasing the text, using the Crisp setting (if using Photoshop), I'd wager. :)

Beeker! I'd love a Beeker icon! No text, just his confused looking face.
