"NERDY!"

Four times.


* * * * *

I don't JUST watch movies - today, for example, I built a Swami snake-charmer pipe (no, that is not a euphemism) out of a bagpipe chanter, a broken carved mariachi shaker, a dowel, gold paint, trim, and rhinestones, as well as working on finishing two safari parasols that I had made out of domed picnic food covers, heavy wood handles, finials, and fringe (originally intended for Pirates of Penzance, now given a second chance with The Drowsy Chaperone) ((also, NOBODY makes safari parasols. What is up with that?)) all while listening to and snidely commenting on Dr. Laura. (It was on, and we didn't bother to change the station. Don't judge.)

I was going to offer up this activities list as proof that I am actually "deep", but the mention of Dr. Laura kind of ruined that idea. Poop.

Someone asked me today what the strangest prop was that I had ever made, and the answer then was "dead body". I think I just might change that now to "Swami snake-charmer pipe".

I thought "dead body" was some of your greatest work ;) Well, but then I remembered that upholstered piece...wow!
