So in other "I want to go to there" news:



Yeah, lets talk about how this building is TWICE AS TALL AS THE EMPIRE STATE. And Dubai seems like a really neat city provided you don't bring any prescription drugs with you or kiss anyone publicly.

Pretty much, if it involves very tall/pretty things or trains I'm so there.

Spent the last fifteen or so minutes watching a bunch of this guy's programmed Halloween light shows.



Right, when I win the lottery? I'm totally blowing about two grand on a sweet sweet Light-O-Rama setup and a cubic fuckton of lights. I shit you not, it's been a personal dream of mine to blow the Griswold's house out of the water one Christmas in blinding insanity, but now I can make said blinding insanity DANCE TO THE MUSIC.

So there's a new Hyperbole and a Half post up. I highly suggest y'all go read it. After doing so, my ribs are killing me. And I want cake. Well, more cake - we just finished up the last of the birthday cakes yesterday.

CAKE.

emilytheslayer is my hero for posting the best thing ever to twitter this morning.


Incredulous Kristy!

MOAR/Make your own (I made these ones)

Having been obsessed with the BSC for most of my childhood, these are making me cry with hilarity.

OMG OMG OMG OMG HANDBELLS OMG OMG OMG OMG

*cough* ahem. Yeah so a couple months? back aradiadiane mentioned she was part of the handbell choir up the road at the Sunderland First Congregational Church. (I might have posted about it at the time, come to think of it, with very much the same level of capslock.) I VERY CALMLY and SEDATELY and not at all like a SMALL OVEREXCITED YAPPY DOG ON SPEED inquired if they needed extra ringers; she said she's pass her director my number.

So the director just called me! First rehearsal's on Wednesday afternoon, first performance is during Sunday services on 10/3.

Excuse me, I have to go zoom around the house much in the fashion that cats do after making large deposits in the litterbox. Thank heavens cell23's at game, lol. he'd be making fun of me FOREVER for the crazy monkey hysterionics happening.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE




Oh before I do that? Hattip to liamstliam for pointing his flist to NPR's 50 Greatest Voices. I've been reading/listening for the past hour and I am FASCINATED.

Okay, off to completely lose my shit now.

For some reason, whenever I would think of the cow wtfery yesterday I'd get this stuck in my head instead:



Yeah I don't even. Other than to remark that a lot of my days kind of progress in exactly that fashion.

So for a number of weeks there had been a bet going at Atramoria regarding a hot sauce bomb dropped into a glass of whiskey. The bet was not whether cell23 would drink it or not (that he would was a given), the bet was whether or not he'd keep it down. So at least an hour of my evening yesterday was spent witnessing this and giggling. I'd say which side won, but OMGSPOILERS (there's supposedly youtube later).

This was a a significant part of my day not even for those shenanigans, but more that I found out from oneforellis that the edition of The Master and Margarita that I really like and can't find is still in print and available at Barnes&Noble. This makes me stupid happy like whoa.

I also found out that aradiadiane is part of a handbell choir. I was all EEEEEEEEEBELLSEEEEEEE and she said "yeah, you wanna ring with us?" and I was all OMGHELLZYEAH. Because HOLY CRAP BIG ASS BELLS EEEEEEE. They apparently start up again in September. Something else to look foward to!

Today, I'm finally going on that long postponed expedition with extrajoker (and apparently special guest star inle_rah!) to The Art of the Brick at the Springfield Museums. Because OMG LEGOS. I'm really going to have to add "start virtual modelling again" to the list of postponed creative projects...
