I went to Greenfield Village for the first time in my life. It's basically a walk-through museam-village populated by people who live every day as though they were still in the late 1800's (and no, they're not Amish). They work farms, pickle food, play music on fiddles and pump-organs, raise livestock, build and fix wagons, etc., and are more than happy to explain what they're doing, and why they're doing it. It's really quite impressive, and a neat chance to see traditional potters, glassblowers, metalworkers, and so on practice their craft. Yet another neat thing to thank Henry Ford for.

Also, since it's almost Halloween, my buddies and I wandered around the Village in various Dr. Who costumes (and it kinda fit with the whole Anachronistic Village thing). I got to be the group's Tom Baker Dr. We even met a fan who worked as a glassblower there, and who briefly dropped out of the 1800's in order to squee at us all... it was pretty awesome.

Spoiler: On an unrelated note, this motivational poster made me happy too (click to show/hide)

Oh you are in Michigan right now? You should visit Mackinaw Island up north, enjoy the nice walk through the town and some damn good fudge.

I've been to the island a number of times... I happen to be a Michigander. And I am enjoying all kinds of seasonal Apple Cider and Fudge right now, believe me.

I am also a Michigander, but I've never been to the island. I loves me some cider, though.

I just realized that Kefka does the best impression of Heath Ledger as the Joker.

On that note, GTA3 is having odd effects on me.  I've discovered, rediscovered really, that I actually like rap.  Well, A-list early-90s rap.  Then again, maybe that's just my instinct to faithfully roleplay a low down gangster set trippin' banker, because I certainly have a powerful urge to flip over to Radio X and enjoy some Soundgarden.

I've recently discovered that I like rap. I've been introduced to Public Enemy and it's surprised me with it's quality. It must be all the performance poetry I've been listening to that's softened me up for it.

I can't wait for more Peep Show. Great stuff.

I just realised that once I'm out of the house, I can dress like Reinhard von Lohengramm whenever the hell I want.

Google suggests that that this should be all day, every day. You can probably skip the cape when not at formal occasions, if it's troublesome for your job or otherwise gets in the way.

There's a DF subreddit. Now I have to read Boatmurdered again. Awesome.

A group of crows is called a conspiracy.

THEY'RE AFTER ME

[Urist Imiknorris]

I thought it was called a murder?

A group of Platypi is called...


...A platy-posse.

I thought that up myself!

The Children's March: Over the Hills and Far Away. The rockin' baritone horn parts are the parts I just got back form playing at tonight's concert. A++, Mr Grainger. Would play again.

Hmm... had a good meeting with my rhetoric professor.  I really like her.
