This week: 1999 in 1967, He-Man sings the '80s, mutter paneer, and falling down at ALDI.

Big week.  Mostly good, a little bit not so much.  Here we go:

Good:

This fantastic1967 short film about the year 1999.  Produced by Philco Ford for its 50th anniversary.  Apparently we were all supposed to be wearing Nehru jackets.  Featuring Wink Martindale, and bonus points if you even know who he is.

The undisputed best cover ever of 4 Non Blondes’ “What’s Up (What’s Going On?)”  He-Man does it so much better than the original.  Prepare to boogie, cringe, or possibly both.  Look for Skeletor’s hilarious cameo.

Homemade Mutter Paneer on Kid3’s Birthday:  Homemade sautéed cubes of fresh cheese & peas in a tomato/butter/cream sauce, followed by double chocolate torte.  Pretty darn good, I’m just sayin.  Thanks to Kid3 for being born that day and requesting Mutter Paneer so we could have such a yummy dinner.  Here’s a great recipe for the curious.

Not That Good:

Falling down in the parking lot at Aldi while trying to exit my car.  This is what I get for only wearing pants to work.  The skirt lining had somehow wrapped itself mummy-style around my legs so that the lead leg couldn’t move out to break the fall.  I fell, redwood-like, attempting to absorb the impact with my right hand, which folded up the wrong way like a sad old Ortega taco shell.  Also, both shoes flew off and I sustained a big bruise on my leg.  Many saw; mercifully, no sarcastic clapping.
