Gotta Dance

As you may have heard via twitter: Dude! We're getting the band flash mob back together! Here's the skinny peeps:

We'll be meeting Sunday afternoons at 3pm PST (5pm Central, 6pm Eastern)!
Location: Heather Raven's house, port bus will be at Golem Court (Vampire, area 1) from 2:50pm PST to 3pm PST. Feel free to invite friends to port and join in.

Audience members are welcome, but are asked to keep the talking down to a minimum so we can work.

A new feature that I am going to be experimenting with is Livestream. Hopefully (*crosses fingers*) I will be able to Livestream the rehearsals, so that I can communicate with people in multiple ways. Some times you just need to hear it, you know? Plus then I won't forget what we did because it's recorded. ;P

As I've said before, I love flash mobs. They're so happy! I really love flash mobs that

"You outta be in pictures..."

("wah wah wah nah!")

I was reading Autumn's blog post about... oh well you've probably only read it. In it she said: "I get to be the Bad Guy. It's a pretty sweet role..." Heather thought: Basil Rathbone. Confused yet? Watson let me link that train of association for you. Bad guy - villain - movies - Robin Hood - Sir Guy/Prince John - (elimination round) Claude Rains - Basil Rathbone! So now and forever, I will think of Autumn as Basil. Not as the real person Basil, but as the caricature of the suave, sinister, clever, totally cool, dueling, awesome person I think of when I think of Basil.


So if Autumn is Basil, then that of course makes Miss Mythspent Youth Abigail/Lisa Sir John Gielgud. For me Sir John (that's what I call him, Sir John) is insanely brilliant. End of story. For me reading Mythspent is like eating candy, I can't get enough, Lisa is always really entertaining and clever. See the parallels?


 Naturally that would make TFN Steve McQueen. Just. Totally. Cool.


And by process of elimination, KBB would be John Barrymore. (Kevin you were hard, I though of Spencer Tracy, Peter O'Toole, and Patrick Stewart, but none of them fit!) Barrymore is somebody who I think is a brilliant and actively smart actor and he has this charisma too, that makes you want to give him your attention.


Well now that I've probably embarrassed myself (and several other people, both living and dead) into the next decade, it's your turn! I want to hear what you think. Have I assigned people correctly? Who do you compare your friends with? Who do you think I am? (Don't be afraid. I won't find out where you live and turn all the socks in your drawer inside out or anything. What ever gave you that idea?) And mostly, does your brain think like this too?

P.S. If you didn't understand anything that I was referring to in this blog post. DON'T WORRY! Most people aren't the insane old film nerds that I am. These are the people your grandparents grew up watching. Yeah. I know...

Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay

Victoria got her Ra today!



Rah Rah! Err. Ra Ra!

 And now she looks ugly. Or like a romulan. (Same thing.)
But even more so when she is a victim of the creepy wings glitch!

Spider Web Castle

Here it is folks. A tour of my finally finished MFP! I was mostly inspired by the gorgeous palaces of Japan, and their temples and shrines.





There is closed captioning for the hearing impaired wizards. I recommend using full screen with them though, they are kind of long. And please forgive me if they are kind of hard to read. I talk a lot and it was my first time doing them.



Enjoy!
If you are interested in Japanese history I recommend Modern Japan: A History in Documents and also the TV mini-series Japan: Memoirs of a Secret Empire  and Seven Samurai! Nah I'm kidding. Kurosawa is an awesome film-maker, but he's not really educational (ten points if you got the other reference in the post). ^_^
