Xanadu (2011) is called The Money Shot in other places and it's available in full on Prime Video but I believe you have to buy the entire show to stream it. It's also not available outside the US so I'm not sure how else to watch it I'm just praying it's pirated somewhere 🤧🤧
anon you just saved my life

since i am at home and have access to my yearbooks, it is now time for the roundup of “some of my favorite quotes from people’s yearbook signatures”, a non-exhaustive list:
2010-11 (3rd grade):
-“have a great summer savvanah”—kid in my class who spelled my name wrong lmao
2011-12 (4th grade):
-“your the most legendary person i have ever met”—one of my besties to this day
2012-13 (5th grade):
-“when the world looks down on you, give them 5 and a half reasons to look up at you. you are brilliant. you are a good person. never lose that. never stop dominating.” —one of the then-high school juniors for some reason (i got signatures and messages from SEVERAL juniors and seniors that year for some reason lmao)
-“too bad”—a kid in my class
*could not find 2013-14 :(*
2014-15 (7th grade):
-“stay cool and rock on with those dance moves and work on skating”—another kid who was in our production of xanadu, where i successfully campaigned with the director to not make everyone rollerskate because some of us (myself included) could not rollerskate
-“the cat whiskers come from within”—a girl in the grade below me with whom i am still buddies
-“you are the smartest person i know and don’t let anyone take that away from you”—my now IRL best friend, the first year after he moved to our school, and this was even though at the time we were in the middle of an INTENSE academic rivalry that put a damper on our friendship for a while
2015-16 (8th grade):
-every single kid who wrote HAGS!!! (have a great summer) because it’s funny <3
-“you have been happy when i have been sad so uh…thanks for always cheering me up with just a smile”—a kid in the grade below me
-“savannah, it is really fun having you in the class and i hope we got the party started for you every english class!”—the same kid who spelled my name wrong in 3rd grade; every day at the start of english class i’d say “let’s get this party started!”
2016-17 (9th grade):
-“…you’ll have to come check in and draw me more memes!”—my 9th grade history teacher, context being that she pitted all the kids in my grade against each other in a year-long history meme war and i, being a dumbass, did not know how to make memes online using generators and shit, so i HAND DREW all of my memes on her board and she would take pictures for my entries (for the record: i did not win)
-“this is a good yearbook. you are a good person. have a good summer.”—one of my guy friends in my class
-“we’re gonna need you in quiz bowl. also how is this handwriting.”—another guy in my class; the reference to the handwriting was because we had to proofread each other’s handwritten essay drafts in english class and i straight up could not read like half of his and he got PISSED as a result
2017-18 (10th grade):
-“dear savannah, have a great summer! read lots of books and eat lots of food because those things make you happy and happiness is great.”—one of my friends in my class, also that is sound advice
-“*sine graph* there, i sined it.”—my precalculus teacher
-“i am ‘cosining’ it.”—the same kid who wrote the handwriting comment the previous year; written directly under the previous signature
-“savannah, mashed potatoes…”—the bestie who wrote the “legendary” comment in 4th grade; the whole message was much longer but we had an inside joke going about how i’m super-picky about my mashed potatoes lol
2018-19 (11th grade):
-“you are just the sweetest little ol’ thang”—one of my friends in my class
-“thanks for making this a great year. you’ve always been so nice to me. never forget that no matter what, you have a good heart, don’t forget that!”—one of the seniors that year; we were in all the musicals and choir together for a few years
-“stay frosty! your joy for life is special, don’t ever let anyone diminish it. change the world.”—a beloved history teacher who moved away after that school year
*no signatures for 2019-20 because COVID :(*

Muggsy’s Meadow - The Mills Corporation (2006) - getmuggsy.com/muggsysmeadow.com
Mills’ Late-era Attempt at gunning it against Simon’s Kidgets, Mills was already well drained of cash from the Botched Meadowlands Xanadu project and under investigation by the Government by the time Muggsy was rolled out, Muggsy’s Meadow lasted a year under mills before being bought out by Simon Property Group and Discontinued in 2007, though there are web archives of the website being around as late as 2011.
Included in Photo 4 is also a full final list of Mills properties during the end of the company’s history.
As for my Memories with Muggsy, while my local Mills Property is Discover Mills, I Vaguely remember him, We’d usually go to Discover Mills for 2 things: Eddie Bauer and Stride Rite (RIP), though one time during Late-Mills Era we did also go to Medieval Times and it was great, digging through my memory i sorta remember him, i guess.
The entire website is well preserved due to it being entirely in Flash, thanks to the internet archive for keeping it for so long. (LINK, Ruffle is Recommended.)

reading justice league dark (2011) so i can find out more about timothy hunter (and john constantine but he has his own comic), but having to suffer through madame xanadu’s bs first is... a headache and a half. i even like deadman from the animated stuff he’s been in, but with the stunt he pulled at the bar? fuck off.

Ginger Radio Hour #023
Show Notes August 16, 2022
Listen to archived episode.
Theme: Celebratory grief.
Featured: A conversation with Catskill artist Marc Swanson. He has a new show called A Memorial To Ice At The Dead Deer Disco. The series of installations is jointly presented at the Thomas Cole National Historic Site and MASS MoCA. According to the exhibition, his works "exist as both memorial and monument aligning climate change with the AIDS crisis. Swanson is interested in the fact that we seem to be living in the ruins of our future – mourning a world that will no longer exist as we know it, resulting from the impending loss and inevitable results of climate change, alongside the inability to control or change this outcome."
