Spawnling. Of. Eval.

[amedia]

Here I am, innocently winding down from a hard day at work (I'm still in "yay! I have a job!" mode, so I don't mind), reading my f-list and listening to the Carmen Sandiego soundtrack 'cause I just saw Rockapella in concert last week & that reminded me of how much I love them.

Next thing I know, the resident 14-week-old spawnling of evil (he's much bigger than in the icon, but still too small to be a spawn of evil) has jumped up on the little shelves above the computer and knocked both speakers *and* the network router back behind the desk. The speakers wound up upside down on the floor, with a faint tinny little voice still crooning "let's take a trip to Niagara, this time we'll look at the falls." Fortunately the desk is on rollers so I could retrieve them easily, and everything is still working. But... grrr... whose bright idea was this, anyway, to bring such a destructive little force of chaos into the household?

Oh, yeah. Mine. :-)

There's a Carmen Sandiego soundtrack? Cool! I loved Rockapella on that show so much!

*goes to search amazon.com for soundtrack*

Let me know if it's out of print - I ripped mine to iTunes and can burn you a copy. I'll even throw in a copy of the Harris/Dietrich pimping tape. ;-)

Bad kitty! BTW, I watched the pimping tape a couple of times. I really liked the little slip that was in the tape case too, explaining what all the clips were. The slip of paper said Electicon 2001 on it. :g: I'd totally forgotten about the one where Harris has to shave off his mustache and dress in drag. It was too funny.

Sounds like he has a lot in common with Oz when he was a baby. And Oz has gotten better as he's gotten older.

Um, a little better ...

I don't have an iPod, so I don't think that iTunes would be anything I could play. Thank you for offering, though. I found a CD on amazon.com titled Carmon Sandiego: Out of This World. Is it the one you have?

I've taped off TVLand all the Barney Miller episodes I could find, but I'd like a copy of the Harris/Dietrich pimping tape, though, if you wouldn't mind. Let me know how much I should send you to cover the costs of the tape and postage, please.

It was a hoot putting that together; I'm glad you liked it! A lot of the comments, like the whole "Yenta Barney" arc, grew out of email conversations I had with folks on a slash listserv while watching the show for the first time in 15 years on TV Land (and seeing it in a whole new light).

I'd totally forgotten about the one where Harris has to shave off his mustache and dress in drag.

That one I remembered from the *first* time I watched it when it was first on. I remember my mom explaining to me about the reference to the movie Laura. Ah... I was a Teenage Pre-slasher!

Oops! I wasn't very clear at all! I just mean that the iTunes program makes it easy to copy CD's (I don't have an iPod either). The CD will play in any regular CD player.

No, I never heard of that one - it looks really cool, too! I see it has a song by Lynne Thigpen; I loved her on that show. (My husband loved her on The District>)

Tapes are dirt cheap and I'm shameless; in other words, no charge! Just send your postal addy to me at flankingm @ aol.com.
