I really need a tripod or monopod or something that will keep the damn camera still enough to take a low light picture without using the flash. I fucking hate camera flashes. This has been a super frustrating night for pictures, I tell ya.

But at least there's one good one. Took a couple of pics of [livejournal.com profile] aersi's Christmas tree (yes, it's still up) while I was over there, specifically of the peacock nesting in it.



You wouldn't think it would come out fantastic in black and white, but there you go. But yeah, the rest of the roll was a wash, alas. Oh well, I have ideas for later.


Karaoke was fun despite witnessing the horror that was a bar regular singing "Candyman" (the one from Willy Wonka) accompanying enough exaggerated hip thrusting to make Elvis and Michael Jackson blush. This was not helped by verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry tight skinny jeans. The thrusting Area was traumatically mesmerizing. But that was balanced with [livejournal.com profile] aersi, [livejournal.com profile] avalon616 and I ending our night by all getting up on stage to sing "Pokerface", which was awesome. Apparently next week is White Trash Wednesday... O_o what does a black girl wear to that sort of theme night? I figure I'll either go as Slash (I have the top hat and I'll probably have the fro to go with it by then) or Lafayette from True Blood. Or just fat ho it up, who knows. But I'm going to be getting my mary chapin carpenter on, thank you.

Also goddamn it, someday I will be in shape to dance the entire length of "Cotton Eyed Joe" without collapsing in an asthmatic spasmy heap...

Oh also? I bought a brush. Sevs sells em for 2 dollars, who knew?

Due to a few of the comments in this thread yesterday, the busload of little people in my head have declared this Camp/Bus/Playground Song day.


Great big globs of greasy, grimy, gopher guts
Chopped up, frozen chicken feet
oody toody monkey meat
All wrapped up in poison ivy
That's what I had for lunch

Now dinner:
Snails sandwiches, pus on top
Monkey vomit and camel snot
Eagle eyeballs dipped in blood
May sound oogy but, it's good for you!



I made a post years ago deconstructing the regional variants of "Miss Lucy/Susie Had a Steamboat"... course now all I can think of is MISS LUCY... ON A BOAT...

Also I think bussongs.com just became my new favorite website.
