"Pascal's Halloween"...yes, as in Blaise Pascal

This is a story I wrote in like 3rd grade that I just found and which I vividly remember writing after learning about Pascal's Triangle.

It was Halloween and Bobby's parents were at a party (deadbeats). Bobby was getting ready for trick or treating when he got a call. He heard a low deep voice on the other line (why did he answer the phone when he's home alone?!). "You got a F in math, right Bobby." After a while Bobby forced himself to speek. "Yes" said Bobby in a high shaky voice. "Who are you?" Bobby asked. "I am Blaise Pascal." "But you died along time ago." "I know." With that knews Bobby hung up (I knews it!).

After a couple of houses Bobby saw a man dressed from the 16 hundreds, but he wasn't a man you could see right through him (hold on, what?). Bobby knew who it was. It was the triangle wiz Blaise Pascal (The Wizard of Triangles!). Bobby ran to the next house when the door opened Bobby saw Pascal behind the man at the door.

After two hours of seeing Pascal in every triangle he gave up, and went home.

As soon as Bobby walked into his room he saw Pascal. Bobby ran to the door but he was too slow (shouldn't he have been at the door already?). Pascal grabbed him by the arm opened the window and flew out (Ghost of Christmas past?!). Right after Pascal grabbed Bobby he fainted (wimp).  When Bobby woke up we was in an old mansion with ghosts all around him. Then he saw Pascal. Then Pascal introduced Bobby to the group of ghosts. Then Pascal took Bobby by the arm and lead him to a room with a table and a chair. Then for one hour Pascal tought  Bobby all about math (WORST Halloween EVER).

The next day Bobby got a B in math (I guess Pascal couldn't get him an A...). After school Bobby went to his room where Blaise Pascal was waiting (creeper). Bobby thanked Pascal then he vanished (Bobby or Pascal?).

The end, and you're welcome.

Songs of the Last Six Months

Here are the songs I either couldn't get enough of, or couldn't get away from in the past six months.

Love Will Keep Us Together by Captain and Tennille. This played at the end of every Scapin. Good memories.


I'm Too Sexy by Right Said Fred. This also played at the end of Scapin. We'd finish David's change then dance party with Matt and Kristen. Also good times.


Dynamite by Taio Cruz. This ALSO played at the end of Scapin. Kristen'd throw Matt's cassock at me  every performance at "hey-oh, Galileo!" then I'd dance to this until we got house when I was upstairs getting David's hat.


What Makes You Beautiful by One Directions. Literally listened to this on repeat for 4 hours of pie making, and also other times.


Prima Donna by Marina and the Diamonds. I saw Marina and the Diamonds on The Graham Norton Show at the beginning of the summer and listened to them for a solid month. She's a great performer.


Send Me No Flowers by Nellie McKay. Introduced to Nellie this summer. I love this song.


Babel  by Mumford and Sons. This was a M&S fall for me. I love them, they are note and wordsmiths. I heard Babel from their new CD on SNL and I LOVE the drive of it!


Some Nights by Fun. Talk ab drive. I also discovered Fun. this summer, like everyone else in the world. I listened to Some Nights on repeat yesterday during my 14 hour drive. It just gets me going! The whole album is great.


Hey Ho by The Lumineers. Heard this in the gym way back when I went to the gym before fall build pooped on my dreams of fitness.


Trololo  by the Trololo Guy. This was dressing room #1's anthem. That or anything early 2000 boy band.

Best Ever Movie Kisses

Rewatched Persuasion 2007 and the awful kiss at the end and was reminded of this entry and made me want to do a reverse entry.

BEST EVER MOVIE KISSES (part I probably):


North and South
Woof, best. kiss. ever.
Four hours, Pride and Prejudice in industrial England, brooding John Thornton, shirt sleeves and a trainstation. SO much build up, SO much! I tried to explain the significance of this kiss to my ex once and he just didn't get it. We're looking at 18 months of Victorian angst culminating in the most perfectest kiss. Richard Armitage's jawline and stubble and lips and hands. Read the book, s'even better!


A Room With a View
There's opera playing and a wheat field in Italy and Julien Sands looks like an Arrow model. Uggs. Kiss at 1:10


Dear Frankie
This one's rather awkward leading up to it, and DVD extras tell me the actors' faces were exhausted from trying to get it right, and they did. Again, it's about the build up, which there is plenty of.


Penelope
Word around the watercooler is that James McAvoy is the best kisser in the bizz. What a high honor, and how lucky is Anne Marie Duff? You know you're a good kisser when you can make snogging a hog look so good!


Gone With the Wind
There's a soldier in the South who loves you, Scarlett, Wants to feel your arms around him, wants to carry the memory of your kisses into battle with him. Never mind about loving me, you're a woman sending a solier to his death with a beautiful memory. Scarlett! Kiss me! Kiss me...once...*om nom nom*


Northanger Abbey
This one was also on the awkward list. First kiss, young passionate pent up angsty love, into the shrubs. Yes. Start at 1:15


Some Kind of Wonderful
It's just, uuuhhh...
Sound's off, but s'ok.

Almost kiss:

Mansfield Park
Science says the moment of most sensation is right before your lips touch. Tell me about it!

Special thanks to Allison and Tricia for their input. 

Video: What's my type?

Answer, I don't have one.
Mormon and Temple-worthy covers all the mandatory bases.

I also forgot to mention I like thick waists...it probably has something to do with my being tall and feeling man-sized, but if the fella has a thick waist I feel better about it :)

Porn Star Name Generator

I've been sorting buttons for days and while I've used this method many times to determine my optimum porn star name last night after a double full of buttons this was HIL-arious.

First pet name+street you grew up on=porn star name

Clown Face Sequoia

The appropriateness of this name for me is astounding, because I'd wear a lot of make up, and I'm tall. Comedy explained. 

favorite pictures: South Bank

I love the South Bank. I love Shakespeare. I love Shakespeare's Globe. Its walls are made with cashmere, woof. When I got back from two weeks on the continent and was all alone in London the first place I went was the Globe, just to sit. It has a relatively good ice cream van, a lovely shop, a public(ish) restroom with Dyson airblades and some of my best memories of London are getting off at St. Paul's, walking across the Harry Potter (Millenium) Bridge and sitting around the South Bank. Said area also includes Borough Market, Southwark Cathedral, the Clink, the Golden Hind, and the Tate Modern. Seriously, one of my favorite places in the world!

If I had a time machine....

#1 April 13, 1993: Opening of Arcadia by Tom Stoppard at The National in London, starring Rufus Sewell as Septimus and Bill Nighy as Bernard, directed by Trevor Nunn.

I love this play, I love Rufus Sewell, I love The National. I can't even imagine how great this production was.  Life list in general includes seeing this play and/or designing it. It turns 20 next year...pretty please!! If said time machine can't make it to the opening of the original cast I'll take the opening of the 2009 production with Dan Stevens.




I know I've made a list somewhere in my mind palace of more dates to go back to, but nothing is coming to mind. This'll have to be a series.
