Of Muppets and Monsters

Still from the upcoming movie "Where the Wild Things Are"

If you didn't know, Jim Henson is my hero. I have had a passion for muppets, monsters and furry, cute things since I was a wee little lass. And as of late, I have stumbled upon far too many amazing monster and muppet links on the web, to keep from posting them for you, my humble readers.

First up, they have made Maurice Sendak's beloved tale, "Where the Wild Things Are," into a movie. Spike Jonze directed it, and Dave Eggers collaborated with him to write the script. I cannot even begin to put into words how excited I am by this combination of people, and I have a feeling it is going to be very, very awesome.

And finally, no post about monsters and fuzzy things would be complete without a shout-out to Jenny Harada. Jenny is a crafter of fine furry plush creatures, and her originality and creativity in her creations is always a delight.
