thejunipertreeA second fabric store today yielded very little. Other than a beautiful (on sale) velvet that looks grey in one light and red in another. The Engineer found it underneath a stack and I wound up getting it for less then the price it was marked.
I'm still having trouble finding the right eyes that I want. No one seems to have the correct kind. Fuckers.
Also, if any of you happen to be bored or depressed might I recommend giving a tub bath to two rats? Fucking hilarity. The Engineer's rats (that I foisted on him), Humphrey and George, were starting to smell a bit rank. Probably because the two little gaylords do nothing but piss on each other all the damn time. So, we decided it was high time they had their first bath.
And I am continually regretting not bringing a camera into the bathroom for it. I have never seen two more miserable rodents in my entire life. They splashed around in the water for about thirty seconds, before realising that they were, indeed, getting rather wet. Then it turned into a game of who could climb onto the two cups we had also stuck in the tub (for rinsing of the rats), in an effort to escape the MEEN BAD WATER.
They did fairly well, I reckon. Especially considering the only other rat I've ever bathed was my poor departed Nicodemus. And she was a right horror about bathtime. You placed her in the water and then suddenly you would realise she was not, in fact, in the water. But up your shirt, furious and sopping wet.
This weekend is the sideshow/tattoo convention in Wilkes Barre, which I shall be attending (only on one of the days, though). It's a bit disappointing that I'm not going to have any money to spend at this affair, but being able to see sword swallowing with my own two eyes and being able to witness real blockheads is going to make up for it, by far.
It's also gotten me into the mood to start practicing my own swordswallowing again (and I'll thank all of you perverts to keep your comments to yourselves). I used to be able to do an entire ruler, but it's been so long that I'm unsure if I could manage that little bit still. It used to be great fun for a boredom release at one of the mortgage companies I used to work for.
pssst. Do you know what that weird girl in post closing can do?

(sword swallowing that is,.. not washing rats)
There are some nice sword swallowers on the
I have always heard use a coat hanger bent to look like the end of a sword to practice the action and train your throat to open, which seems to be the same principle as the ruler,... but i wouldbe afraid you would accidently lose control of it and get it stuck,.. which is utterly ridiculous,.. but that is he fear I feel when i hear of the little weird girl in post closing sucking down a ruler.
Ya know?
KK!

Never heard the coat hanger thing before, though.
