Thus, I've posted an album of photos taken at the World's Largest Virginia Reel event for the 70th anniversary of Gone With the Wind in Marietta, Georgia. If you check out our photo album on Facebook (and become a fan while you're there, why don't you?) you will see glorious anachronisms, a Disney character cameo, and more shots of this fantastic Carol Burnett-inspired costume.

11.17.09 by Widge @ 5:05 am ![]() This past Friday, there was the kickoff of a celebration for the 70th Anniversary of Gone With the Wind, as the Ultimate Collector's Edition hits DVD and Blu-Ray today. One of the first items was a staging of the "World's Largest Virginia Reel," taking place in Marietta, Georgia. I was there to witness this historic occasion with my own eyes. And here's some of what I saw: Categorized as: Stimuli

11.04.09 by Cosette @ 3:30 pm ![]() This started out as just a Month 3 update, but after DragonCon madness, it's also covering Month 4 now. We'll be catching up now that 32 Days is behind us as well. As I write the first draft of this post, Kora is now seven months old and about sixty pounds! Not only are the puppy teeth all gone, but someone's bulking up--her neck grew out of her little collar literally overnight. Since she's been better about jumping on furniture and chewing in her supervised area, we're trying to let her have freer reign in the house. The ottoman in the library has been gnawed upon a tiny bit, and moving the bells from the hall door to the front door somehow set us back a few times with the housetraining for a couple of days, but overall she has done really well with her newfound freedom. She's morphing from a willfull toddler into a willfull teenager, it would seem sometimes. If she feels she's not getting enough attention, she will find something she knows she's not supposed to have and runs off with it, making sure one of us is watching. Usually it's a shoe. She never chews on them, she just takes them, then finds one of us and runs. It's as if she's saying, "I'm being bad! Don't you want to chase me?" If she doesn't drop it when I tell her, I hold one of her kibble-filled toys or her current favorite toy hostage until she gives it up. Categorized as: Stimuli

He promised himself that on the day he was freed from this day job, he would perform a certain task. Then, on October 31, 2009, his freedom came to pass. And thus, he kept his promise to himself and did what he swore he would do. This...is his story. Categorized as: Stimuli

11.02.09 by Widge @ 6:00 am ![]() So every Monday we try to start you off with something odd or weird or wonderful or all three in the hopes that it will activate your brain's defenses and get you ready for the work week. There's no scientific data to back up that this works or not, but hey, it keeps us amused. This week we've got MC Lion or MC Aslan or MC Simba or whatever he wants to call himself. A puppet that will eat you. No, seriously, I think he means it. Anyway, NSFW for profane lyrics. Enjoy. P.S. Somebody should seriously do a response rap from MC Zebra or something. P.P.S. The alter ego of MC Lion is apparently MC Blackwolf. Just so you know. Categorized as: Stimuli
