Oompa Loompa Doompadee Do!

Have I ever mentioned that I love “Willie Wonka & the Chocolate Factory”? Ok, sure – the first part of the movie is a real snoozefest. And why on earth are all the grandparents sleeping together in one bed? And Grandpa Joe has been laying there for years, but he can just jump up and spend a day wandering around the factory when Charlie gets his Golden Ticket? I mean … come on! The entire movie is a stretch of the imagination, but it still rocks. And I love the Oompa Loompas. I know, some people find them creepy and scary, but I love the bits of wisdom that they share time & time again. What do you think? Creepy or scary?

After watching the scene with Veruca Salt and her rant on “Don’t care how … I want it now!” I had to find the lyrics! I have posted them here too in case you want to sing along with me!

Huh, Whathuh?

Did you notice that post below? The one that says it’s restricted? Well, I wanted to get restricted access set up before I get a new job – just in case I ever need it. I really don’t want to keep you out if you are a frequent reader – I just want to be sure I know who is accessing those posts. So don’t be shy – send the e-mail, I’ll grant you access. I won’t be using it often, but it’s better to have it set up now rather than later!

It’s cookie based, not IP – so if you have an IP address that changes all the time that should be ok. If you clear out your cookies all the time, I can give you password access instead – just let me know!

Props to Jennifer and her ScriptyGoddess skills for helping me out with this!

Pepys Goes Online…

A new twist on an old story, Pepys’ Diary has gone online. You can read the story behind it here. “If the diarist Samuel Pepys were alive today, he may well have used the web to record his thoughts. So Phil Gyford has turned his daily musings into a weblog.” It’s a really interesting read so far. Plus it’s a great use of MovableType. [via Brandy]
