Randomness

I know I'm not the first to comment on this but some channel is showing Land of the Lost re-runs and holy crap did that show suck!  I remember being kind of scared by it - I was 6 when it was on so that kind of makes sense.  But seriously, I probably could have staged a show of equal quality and set design in my basement, and again I stress that I was 6 years old.  

Speaking of tv, now that I'm pretty much the Elmo video expert, I have noticed a few things.  For every segment, Elmo will ask a baby.  Like "let's ask a baby how you comb your hair" and then they cut to a cute baby and Elmo will ask him/her something and nuzzle the baby and they'll cut to Mr. Noodle or something.  95% of the time the baby seems pretty unimpressed with Elmo.  Mostly the reaction is one of "uh, what the hell was THAT all about?"  I'm going to have to go with Wild Wild West as my favorite and give thumbs down to Bananas (the Elmo version, not Woody Allen's Bananas, I'm still a Woody fan).  Although there's a segment on the Bananas one where some little kid "michael" has a banana feast for his friends and it's gotta be early 80's and his mom has super big permed hair and long fingernails with frosty pink nail polish and their kitchen looks like one where someone on House Hunters would walk in an go "OH MY GOD, this thing hasn't been updated in 30 years."  

I finally had to turn around my daughter's car seat, she was too tall for our smaller one to ride rear facing so I turned them both around.  Her reaction was priceless, this morning we went out to get donuts and she thought she got a new car seat.  Then this afternoon we went on an errand in the other car and she kept talking about being "high in the air" and telling me she could see cows out the window.
