A Manly Muppet (or a Muppet of a Man)?

Are you a man or a muppet? If you're a muppet, you're a manly muppet. If you're a man, you're a muppet of a man.

What a hysterical and rewarding movie is the new Muppet Movie. The Great PD had the idea to go see it yesterday on a stormy and wet afternoon. Plotnik hasn't laughed so hard in a long time and he could hear Isabella Belly Laughs from behind him. All the songs are by Flight of the Conchords and every actor in Hollywood has a cameo part. The Muppet Movie is to L.A. what The Muppets Take Manhattan was to New York. You really want to see it, whether you're a muppet, or a man, or neither one.

We also went on a trip to the Met, where the Egyptian exhibit on the main floor makes you realize nothing changes, century after century, except pages on the calendar. Here, we see the graffiti that Napoleon's soldiers left on a temple more than 200 years ago when they tried to conquer Egypt. Isabella has been attached to The Great BZWZ's hand for several days, but she sat with her dad on the floor of the museum, sketching the temple.

The Great FiveHead gave a hat to both BZWZ and The Great Ducknik.

Plottie would like to meet the famous hatter-lady, but her stand on the street somewhere in Little Italy is sometimes there, and sometimes not.

There's been a lot of music around the house, but not quite enough yet.

We've had our pastrami from Cousin Josh at Eisenberg's, and our pizza and calzone with shallots from Giuseppina's. The only meal missing is spaghetti and meatballs from Pisticci and that comes tonight.
