action figures sold separately

ok folks, for quite some time i’ve been trying to track down two pieces of music, and can find neither of them. i’m not quite yet in the realm of obsessed, but near enough…

so i’m offering a prize of a) a rather large quantity of sooper delicious vegan chocolate and b) a home-spun dance mix cd set to whomever can successfully lead me to the whereabouts of…

1. a recording of the original theme music to the children’s television workshop. it was this funkified r&b flavored number, simple but such a part of my childhood. it came on after the sesame street theme. remember? it was the late 60’s and early 70’s. i was 3-7 years old. life was so different.
2. the artist and title to the Smokey Robinson-sounding r&b song that the character Bo puts on in the sadly underrated Zus & Zo. it’s something like “Gimme Some Emotion” and it starts with lines about going to the five and dime and i can’t find out about it anywhere.

just post in the comments here, and if you get me the info, you get the goods.

a while back, A and i put aside our bike headlights in favor of these super economical, more environmentally sound hub generators. i’d never heard of such things. amazing! the joys of them include:

• never having to replace a battery (that you’d then have to pay for electricity to recharge and eventually landfill and pay to replace again (repeat as needed, ug.))
• having a light that you don’t have to remember to put away so it doesn’t get ganked when you park
• bright bright bright!
• the Lumotec Oval Plus, which has a blue LED that lights up when you stop.

how cool is that? every ride home in the dark, i’ve just been saying Yay! over and over again. but yeah, i’m a nerd like that.

kaki king would kick her ass. we saw her a while back, and i didn’t blog about it. but it was incredible. she is a creative force unlike any other i’ve had the privilege to see and hear. if she comes to your town you have to go see her play. punto.
