The Batty Bat (aka 1, 2, 3 Count!)

When I was little, I would watch Sesame Street every day.  (Who didn't?)  It even stayed in my after school tv line-up until 2nd or 3rd grade, believe it or  not.  Of all the songs they sing, even the theme song, this is the one I remember the most.  I have no idea why.  It will randomly pop into my  head every now and again.

In honor of Count, I titled a side bar section after what I call that song, "1, 2, 3 count!" and have placed all of the applications with numbers in there: a 12-hour clock in my time zone, a 24-hour clock (which is for my benefit, as I still cannot tell time this way - despite being married to a soldier) and finally, a countdown to the Winter Olympics!  Go snow!  It's all the way at the bottom on the left.

p.s. I like colors!

p.p.s. I FINALLY figured out how to embed a video.  (obviously).

*Update: I just did a search on when this episode first aired; November 18, 1985, episode 2096.  That link is a nice flowchart of all the skits on that episode... and I remember most of them! haha! wow.  Some lovely memories!  This episode was monumental, as we met Snuffy in real life for the first time!

This particular skit was one of my favorite ways they showed letters:

I cannot find a video of this right now.. if anyone has seen one, please let me know!

Project Catwalk Finals Week 1

For the final four weeks, how the scoring works is that the top 10 will get points, but all 25 will move on to week 2.  Then, combined with week 2's scores, the new top 10 will move on to week 3.  The final top 5 from that week will then move on to the final round, week 4.  And from there a winner will be chosen.

So, here is what I entered for the first week of the final rounds.  We were given a materials list to choose from, with leeway of tool usage.

On a different note, this is where we were last night (I forgot to mention it earlier - how, I don't know.)

 
It was extremely awesome! We had the best seats I've ever had at a concert - row J.  10th row!  In the orchestra section.  On the floor!  So cool!  I'll post some pics later today or tomorrow, once I get a chance to look at them. (Oh and I love the promo poster - the graphics are pretty sweet.)
