Facinating Fish

My grandmother taught me this poem:

Fishy, Fishy, In a Brook

Fishy, fishy, in a brook

Daddy caught him with a hook

Mommy fried him in a pan

And baby ate him like a man.

I have always been fascinated with it. Does anyone know where it comes from?

craft cult: Widget

This is spiffy. After a tryptophan induced Thanksgiving afternoon I found myself wandering craft cult (www.craftcult.com) where I waddled up on their neat Etsy shop widget. I swear, if you have an Etsy shop than you need to run your mouse over to craft cult and check this out. It's very cool. Just look at the widget I made:

See I told you it was spiffy cool. Well then, my work here is done. I'm off to have a lovely na . . .zzzzzzzzzz.

CSC: 48th Term: Switch Night

Yep, as the title suggests last night was the Clinton Street Cabaret's (CSC) 48th Term Switch Night. Yay!

What is switch night? Well several weeks ago we, the CSC, voted on a theme (it makes the night more fun, and besides, making exact RHPS costumes to wear for one night can get expensive), put roles into a hat, drew roles (not your current role), traded roles (not for your current role), and then spent several weeks making costumes. Last night was the culmination of about a month of work and the Adult Swim themed show was A-MAZING!

Yes, I'll admit I haven't seen much adult swim, nor had many of the other cast members, but there were still some great costumes including many characters from Venture Brothers (Go Team Venture!), Futurama (including a sexy Amy Wong and a super cute, adorable, brain slug), and even an official Shake costume. I'll post pictures as soon as I get a CD from our photographer.

I drew the part of Rocky and decided to go as Vash The Stampede from Trigun. Why not? My living room owns a poster of him, I own a red trench coat, and he has blond hair. So, it was decided. Not to mention, it was freezing outside and the coat was oh so warm and I recently hurt my knee, so kneepads were an excellent unexpected bonus. However, my wig was a silly disaster.

I only had to buy black foam to make fake buttons and two toy guns. So, my costume cost a total of $11.50. The true measure of a good costume is how recognizable you are. I got a few “it’s the guy from Trigun” comments, one “oh my god, oh my god,” and a “you know I’m gonna have to rape you later.” So, I figure it was a well-spent $11.50.

 Kudos to everyone and again stay tuned for pics.
