"resplendent bartender" as a spam subject is definitely a new one.

Computer's gone comatose again, so I'm the one downstairs to hide from the upstairs Thanksgiving chaos. In the meanstwhile, I've been doing a lot of rather fun research for my report and bonding with my family.

Behold, my brother's first macro. He doesn't subscribe to the 'scavenger' T-rex theory. In return he found me this lovely music video for Dinosaur.

I've also noted that I have been neglectful in posting pictures from my last harvest holiday, so here's some photos I took while we were decorating the Sukkah during Sukkot.

Here I am putting up the plastic grapes. And hoping the ceiling doesn't fall in on me.

In this one I look like some sort of lemur that feeds on sukkah fruit. Hard, because what isn't plastic is wax.

I have no idea what sort of face this is. I wasn't the one taking the pictures.

Here's the inside more or less completed. The table's for drinks for the party later that night. And from another angle. And one more.

One extra shot here so you can see the strings of cherries, completely out of season.

Yes, those are duck lights along the front beam. This shot's of one of the 'walls'. A sukkah isn't allowed to have more than two real walls, but the hanging cloth makes a nice yet legal boundary.

And now I go to have breakfast and probably drafted into helping to cook. Lovely.

EDIT: And one of my mom setting up the table, because she is shiny.

(no subject)

While packing up most of my room into boxes in preperation for Mom getting all the carpets cleaned, I came across a large clay jar I made back in middle school. The contents were very intriguing.

--A long strip of yellow cloth taken from my childhood blankie.
--A green spray bottle labeled “Angel Elixers: Flight” and below that “Anpiel” written in both English and Hebrew, coupled with a bit of paper describing the appearance/domains of assorted angels. I’m fairly certain I picked it up at one of the Jewish spiritual retreats Mom took me too when I was younger.
--Some sort of painted and glazed clay pyramid. No clue at all where it’s from, just that “Judy 2001” is written on the bottom.
--A stopped pocketwatch on a chain, which I remember finding in the bandroom in seventh grade. I wonder if I can get it repaired, it looks kinda cool.
--A purple drawstring bag with gold stars and crescent moons on it. I think it’s left over from one of those fluffy ‘magic’ books I bought back in fifth or sixth grade with all those kiddy spells for sleeping well and protection and getting money, based on some of the contents.
---A bit of paperclip metal with plastic tubing and a washer on it. No clue what that’s about.
---A metal coin with a horned moon on one side and a double-horned moon on the other side.
---A second coin with spiral patterns on it. One side’s got a little line in the center of the spiral, the other a little jagged line like a lightning bolt. Not sure what they were supposed to mean.
---A clear crystal, probably very cheap and made for play magic.
---A little round bell, like the sort you’d put around a cat’s collar. It’s probably from the same set.
---A three inch rusted metal rod, source unknown.
---Several small clamshells from the bottom of our lake.

I don't even remember why I'm keeping this stuff or if there's any particular point to it. It just all seems very random.
