Fa la ga ga ga

Posted on November 28, 2011 by larva225

As an adult, I’m sadly into Christmas.  I decorate.  I’ve always been the (freak) one with cards addressed and in the mail the day after Thanksgiving, sending out piles and piles of them.  I’ve always loved “playing Santa,” whether it … Continue reading →

It was the breast of times, it was the worst of times….

The Call of the Child

Must Sea TV

Posted on November 8, 2011 by larva225

My unintentional research into the wonderful world of children’s programming continues.  While we watch all kinds of stuff, the Bubble Guppies still reign supreme over here.  As many of you know, Nickelodeon went about 5 months without putting out a … Continue reading →

It’s the late pumpkin

Posted on November 4, 2011 by larva225
