Guest Post Lalapalooza

Hello Followers of Share and Enjoy,

Jim and Bob have kindly allowed me to post a few guest blogs here. I'm Jim's sister and Bob's niece and I hope not to embarrass them with gushing posts about Edward Cullen or Joe Jonas. I will keep those posts locked up tightly in the diary I keep under my mattress away from prying eyes.

So I was just thinking today about bands that I never got to see in concert, but wish I could. The first one that sprang to mind was The Smith's, a band that was already broken up my the time I started listening to them. I also realized I would have loved to see Queen with Freddie Mercury. So which broken up/dead band or singer would you want to see in concert if you had the opportunity?

From the Gloucestshire Cheese Roll on May 25, 2009.  It's sort of hard to comment on this except to say that this is one of the many reasons I love the English.

Redesigned book covers by M.S. Corley

If you haven't seen M.S. Corley's redesign of the Harry Potter book series, you've really been missing something. Yesterday he posted his newest set for the Narnia series, which is also absolutely brilliant.

See more great stuff on his blog.

Not sure what to be for next Halloween? Be a Tusken Raider!

The folks at Studio Creations have created the definitive 'how to' guide to creating your very own Tusken Raider costume. Wow, I really wish this had been around when I was 11.  My homemade costume didn't come out nearly this good!

No plans this weekend? Make some keyboard pants!

This seems like a great project for those with a Facebook addiction or a lot of time on their hands.  Imagine the envious looks you would get from fellow public transit commuters.  Personally, I think I would go with yellow keys on black pants.  Stylin'!

New animated comedy from Mike Judge

I was a huge fan of King of the Hill so I'm happy to see that Mike Judge has a new animated comedy premiering this month on ABC. It's called The Goode Family and it's about a family of socially conscious do-gooders. Having watched the preview clip (above) I'm doubtful that it can top the brilliance of King of the Hill but I'm definitely willing to give it a try.
