hXc fact checking

halloween has come and gone, and now today is hello kitty's birthday.
i spent halloween working until 9 pm and went straight home.
i missed the trick or treaters except for the ones that threw an egg at the prop shop van as i drove down rhode island which was fucked up because i seriously had *just* finished telling sarah who was with me, about the brick thrown through my window 2 years ago.
we were on a trip to the prop shop to grab "funny" props to make the apothecary shop funny. chester wasn't sure what to do because he can't do funny. that's when he brings me in. if there's one thing i know, it's funny.
although it's not actually funny, it's more like....ewwwww.
there's this apothecary/dispensary set in the play and chester has made it look like the williamsburg apothecary shop and jim wanted it more eccentric so i drew chester a picture of one of the rubber frogs (side note- toy makers? good job with the level of realism your shit is becoming. i bought some frogs and turtles and stuff that were not totally garishly colored and kinda soft instead of hard vinyl and i'm sure if you opened them up, they'd be filled with that "floam" stuff" but they totally look real when you pin them to a board like they're about to be disected) pinned to a board, and i drew the skeleton we have sorta half replaced with utensils (instead of her radius and ulna the skeleton will have a wooden spoon and ladle and a string of garlic where the femur goes but the tibia would still be there)
and maybe a birds nest instead of the skull.
we thought about maybe putting the birdsnest in the pelvis, but um...it just looked too graphic.
oh, and then on the way back to the theatre from the prop shop, we saw kids holding signs for a car wash....on the same block where we got egged.
coincidence? i don't think so.
aside from a flurry of added furniture, yesterday wasn't too bad. i think robert louis stevenson passed the test.
i think tonight i might go catch the 9:30 showing of american hardcore.
this is one thing that bothers me about the web site:
when you click on the map and click on DC. you get this in the second paragraph:
By 1981 the initial harDCore crew consisted of about 50 or so kids, many attending Wilson High, over the river in Arlington, Va, or elite Georgetown Day school in the upper Northwest area.
Um....now, i'm as guilty of over comma-ing as the next person, but let's look at this.
Is that paragraph saying that Wilson High is in Arlington, or kids came from arlington.
Because wilson high ain't in arlington. It's also in the upper northwest area of DC. Across from fort reno park which sure as poop isn't in arlington.
maybe they're confused because ian went to wilson but lived in arlington at the dischord house? i have no idea. but that mistake is kind of a big one to make with how territorial people are.
i have to go feed a whiney meowing cat.
soccer team are going on a small tour today. all is quiet at highwood.
