Please forgive my not posting, tonight, my dear public. Been a long day and I really just want to climb into bed and hug my pillow. Fell asleep at the start of my movie, so I'll pick a better one, and post on it tomorrow. We'll call it Fear Friday. Until then, Victoria

WEIRD WEDNESDAY!!!

Ladies and gents, it's now time for what I hope will become a normal weekly instalment, since the internet is FULL of weird things/people/events...

First off, I'd like to kick this off with a little article about a guy who took a dare from people who were apparently not really his buds...

Man spends night stuck in kid swing after bet with 'friends'

Then, there are the weird laws in this great country.  I don't profess to know if these are actually still laws, only that they are on the books.

Weird Laws

It's against the law, in Arizona, to refuse someone a glass of water.

Connecticut says it's illegal to ride a bicycle more than 65 mph, and will ticket you if you're cought

In Florida it's not legal to shower Naked

Chickens are not legally permitted to cross the road in Quitman, GA

In New Orleans, it's not legal for a woman to drive a car unless her husband's in front of it waving a flag.  (NOT a bad rule!)

If you don't want to be arrested, don't fish for whales in Ohio, on Sunday

Don't whistle under water in Oregon

Houston Texas says it's illegal to milk someone else's cow, or sell your own eye

A Utah law states that a husband is responsible for every criminal act committed by his wife while he is present (if she murders him, is he charged with suicide?)

In Virginia it's a class 4 misdemener to have sex outside of marriage

In Washington, you can't buy a television, meat, or a mattress on Sunday....  uhm, what were THEY doin'?

It's Illegal to tickle women in Wyoming

WEIRD FACT:

Apparently, a lot of fellas w/ the name Wayne are guilty of murder.....

And finally, the BEST part of Weird Wednesdays:  WEIRD AL!!!!!

You're welcome, Tommy.  :D 

NaNoWriMo

Who has heard of NaNoWriMo?

National Novel Writing Month.  It's a month long challenge where the one and only goal is to write fifty thousand words.  As long as it's not the same word fifty thousand times.  I am nervous, because it takes place in November every year, and I'm gearing up for it...  Well, kinda.  I'm excited, and worried I won't meet the cut off.

I've signed up on the OLL webside, and am just awaiting the first of Nov...  On pins and needles...  Pray for me, I fear it may drive me insane.  LOL

Oh, for those of you who tuned in for a before and after project, I'd like to say how sorry I am that I didn't get it finished.  I had to take BabyJ to the doctor, due to a weird rash.  Turns out it's just an allergy.  Perhaps I'll post the project later this week.

I plan to get my house set, this week, for NaNoWriMo.  That includes my office, which is just a pile of boxes, papers, and other misc. STUFF all over the place.  So, I should end up w/ some pretty good Before/After pics for next Tuesday.

Stay tuned for Weird Wednesday!

YouTube Movie Monday: Sarcastic Halloween Comedy

It's YouTube Movie Mondaaaays!!!!!!
     Since it's the end of October, I decided to make today's theme Halloween.  Here it is, folks, for your enjoyment...

This particular video, though not A-MA-ZING, still has a great deal of wow factor.  I once had a Chorus teacher who said, "The best way to know if someone can sing is to hear them acapella."  Well, I agree, and LOVE acapella groups.  Even mediocre ones.  I sure hope you enjoy this one.

What better way to spend a Saturday, or any day, than to sing in your closet?  I got this video from The Closet Singer (closetsinger.com).  He's creative, and has a unique sense of humor.  Plus, Shop of Horror lines right up with my Halloween theme.  It's not quite how they did it in the movie, but who cares?  I like it!

Three Words:  Naked.  Puzzle.  Room.  Why didn't I think of that?  I gotta build me one!

I know, I know...  You already saw this clip.  Now, watch it alone (w/o the other videos attached).  This is how I plan to spend my Halloween!  Wanna come over?  I've got some extra lawn chairs in the basement, just in case company wants to drop by.  (disclaimer:  I don't really have a basement, and I was sooo being sarcastic.)

If You're reading this, still, THANKS!  :D

Stay Tuned for the Before and After Tuesday Project.  It'll be complete with pan-o-rama pics and (hopefully) a sneak peak into my home.

Shall we try again?

Well, folks...  I suppose I'll give this another shot.

With NaNoWriMo just on the horizon, I've decided to try writing daily on my blog, once again.  If I figure out how to post pictures and video, I'll do so.  If not, I'll just post some links for anyone who may be interested in viewing my sources.  :D
