orichalcum at 03:05pm on 09/08/2005It's been ten days now since both A. and I stopped officially "working," and so far I've accomplished the following:
1. Read about 10 books, maybe more, including plowing my way through the free online copies of David Weber's Honor Harrington books. They're pretty decent space opera, if nothing special - but Bujold and BG fans might enjoy, as well, of course, as Forester fans.
2. Written up my syllabi for fall courses, though I haven't done much else on them.
3. Sorted through the Floor of Papers and Books, creating a full recycling bag of paper and a 3.5 foot tall stack of library books to return to Columbia.
4. Sorted through about 2/3rds of the Floor and Chairs of Clothes, packing 3 boxes and one suitcase of winter clothes plus bags of Salvation army and trash.
5. With A., mused about the casting possibilities of Gonzo Todd, the Muppet Barber of Fleet Street. (We're thinking Piggy as Lovett, Kermit as Frederick, Fozzie as Beadle, Camilla as the mad beggar woman?
Just think what we can do before September 19th when I start working???

Yes. You could think of something that will break the other half of my brain, too :)
(Note: I am not asking you to! I'm just saying that you have enough time that you could, if you wanted to.)
Gonzo Todd...
Swing your bongos wide
Gonzo!
Hold them to your eyes!
Careful is the weirdness weirdo
Eating apple pies!
Hell, I don't know.
But judge Turpin has to be Sam The American Eagle. Has to.

Or course, you'd also need to cast Dr. Teeth as Pirelli, and Scooter as Toby.
(Am I having a brain fart-- who's Fredrick? Am I confusing him with Antony, who seems the logical choice for Kermit?)
In other Muppet news, Season 1 of The Muppet Show came out on DVD yesterday. *So* good.

Have you imagined the possibilities of "Pretty Finch and Big Bird?"
And yeah, I'm in total agreement about Sam the Eagle.
Happy to provide distraction - I hear your days have gotten busier.

Since Piggy is, traditionally, cast as Kermit's love interest, rather than necessarily the biggest female role, perhaps Piggy makes sense as Joanna.
Leaving, as Mrs. Lovett... Rizzo in drag.
Works well with Gonzo Todd. Of course, Mrs. Lovett is *such* a perfect part for Piggy...
Y'know, the way things are going, they'd probably cast a human guest star as Joanna. Brittany Spears, most likely. >sigh
