Well, Blogtoberfest was a learning experience. I learned that trying to blog daily and finish a semester’s graphic design folio for uni are not necessarily goals that should run concurrently. It was also a learning experience where I let myself stop doing something I had committed to, without driving myself into the ground with guilt. Well done, me. I do have some interesting things I have created that I might share sometime, though.
Meanwhile, I made a craft thing. Clearly it’s been long enough since submission that I can bear to think about creating again. It wasn’t a difficult – or particularly original – thing to create, but it caused much mirth. It was for my mum’s birthday yesterday, and it was themed with the other part of her present.
A moustache!
Or are they buffalo horns?
Perhaps it is a unibrow.
No, definitely a moustache.
You see, the other part of the present was ‘The Rise and Fall of Goodtown’ by The Wagons. You might recall a post from mid-October about them? Well, let me refresh your memory about Henry Wagon’s excellent facial hair:
(incidentally, I believe that is Henry Wagon in front of a Henry J Wagon. Correct me if I’m wrong.)
I thoroughly encourage you to listen to this excellent song:
Tonight I let myself out of the house to go to the Roller Derby. It’s a tradition in my little world, and has been for the last year or so. When we got there, the line was epic, and we got within 3 metres of the door before they declared the rink full to capacity. That’s never happened. Never, never. Curses to you, Drew Barrymore!! Curses to you, bandwagon jumpers! I say we should all get priority entry according to how many bouts we’ve already been to.
I’m going to continue my Blogtoberfest tradition of posting a picture with editorial content remarkable only for its brevity, because I’m tired. So very tired.
This is for me, and for Kiri, the only circus person I know of who looks at this blog.
It’s Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant doing acrobalance. Look, she looks as uncomfortable as I do while flying.
