It's Coming…

Halloween Post 2014…

be prepared.

Also, I made a poll (see left hand side), please fill it out lovely readers!

NEW miracle health product!

That's right!  We're finally getting a Halloween recap around here, as well as a mind-blowing health tip!

CURIOUS?

Raisin Brahms!!

Watch here for the hilarious Brahms-osity that inspired my costume for this year!

Johannes says: "For a healthy and fun life, make sure you get at least 2 servings of the Arts each day!"

Let's get real here folks: the arts are awesome.  They inspire us, they challenge us, they bring us together, and help foster creativity, dedication, and humor in those who partake in them.  The arts can provide much needed human-connection in communities, families, institutions, and even whole nations!  The arts allow us to escape, but they can also wake us up to the world around us.  They can be as irrelevant and old, or as fascinating and cutting-edge as our imaginations allow them to be.

Basically...whether it be forms of textiles, theatre, music, etc etc etc - the arts rock and everyone should have access to them in their life and community!

So go ahead - get your full serving of Arts each day and everyday!  You'll be glad you did, I promise.

(or Brahms will be quite upset with you...and you don't want that now do you?)

For those of you wondering, YES OF COURSE I burst into my Jazz theory class yelling "GUTEN TAGGGggggggggg!!!!!" and was greeted by a chorus of "JOHANNES BRAHMS!?!"

(I admit, I made sure that at least 3 people knew I was coming so that I would have a few responders)

To my immense delight, I actually got a bunch of unsuspecting class-goers to to yell back in total spontaneity!!  I also got a "you are officially my favorite" and a "everyone around the school of music is talking about you - in a good way!" which made me feel very proud indeed.

Also, check out the Pumpkin the H-roomie and I carved!

So remember folks - get your arts in for a good healthy life, and if you every hear anyone yell "guten tag" the only appropriate response is:

Johannes Brahms!!

All Hallow's Eve

Tally marks aren't just for keeping track of how many points you get in boardgames anymore...

I began the day as simply someone who was keeping tally of all the encounters with the Silence they had had.  It was your basic disheveled look, complete with a "silence will fall" sign pinned to my shirt.

However, no one was really getting it - so I switched halfway through the day to an Amy Pond look (keeping the tallies of course) to much higher acclaim!

(Pond pictures to come later)

I also discovered it is very fun to draw faces on the mirror with whiteboard markers so that your normal face lines up with it when stand in front!

It is however, not easy to capture this lining-up on camera...

aaaaand that's as close as it's gonna get folks!
