1. Welcome to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mairegirl, nauraki and zsof.
If you are counting, that is three Midrealmers, but that's OK. Maire and Brighid are two of the coolest fencers anywhere, and Maire is the brains behind John Inchingham. Zsof? She brought me a case of beer to Pennsic -- all beers I cannot get here. I need ot do a count. There are a *lot* of Midrealmers here. (I am kidding. Some of my best friends . . . )
2. A line from a New York Times story on how Britain is doing well in these Olympics (12 golds) and hopes to be fourth in the medal count in 2012:
Organizers must already be wondering how to follow Beijing’s cast-of-thousands opening ceremony; re-forming the Beatles is not an option.
Great line, but I was thinking that if they used the same digital manipulation the Chinese used . . .
3. The Washington County Fair opened its week-long run today. I will be there a dozen or so hours for work, and I was there tonight for opening night. Huge county fair. Tonight was a demo derby. I brought a roasted chicken dinner, maple cotton candy and kettle corn home to alethea_eastrid.
4. Speaking of Alethea, she said the following in a telephone conversation tonight:
"The magical tentacles of the Liam. How did I live without them?"
No, you are not getting context.
5. Separate conversation:
Liam: "Do you know where the other 12-pack of seltzer is?"
Alethea: "You put it away in the closet."
No wonder I couldn't find it.
6. Speaking of my tentacles:
"Ewwww."
I am working on getting a hotel/motel block for Crown. I will keep you posted.
7. Speaking of John Inchingham:
"Ewwww."
That's actually one of his lines.
I highly recommend his newest CD -- "John Inchingham versus The Bardic Hydra," which includes songs about a hydra (no shit), vampiric penguins, a pretty pink pegasus, a were-llama and a Great Dane named . . . wait for it . . . Hamlet. It also includes a song about one of the biggest fighters I have ever seen -- Sabah from the Midlands -- with the lines, "I am the masher, my foes are potatoes" and "can't parry a tsunami."
It's also really good, because it includes Mater Cerian (Mr. Death, Doom and Gloom himself," Alexander de Seton, Dahrien Cordell and Lorelei Skye.
