tilly_stratfordThis is the story of the Trou Macacq
The pine box derby, the monkey track
Not what I heard or saw on TV
But what I witnessed entirely
A touch of insomnia and access to TV Tropes: Suddenly I find myself groggily watching Happy Days at two in the morning, trying to see if there is as much subtext between Fonzie and Mork in the crossover episode as people claim. I couldn't see it, but now I know Orkians are canonically bisexual.
...What?
Incidentally I have the faintest memories of watching reruns of Happy Days when I was seven or so. The only thing I remember is that it had a terribly lame title in Norwegian or Swedish, can't remember which. Everything I know about The Fonz I think I've learned by cultural osmosis. Oh, and of course that Happy Days had the most joy-inducing theme ever.
In completely different news, the more I read about it the more I'm dying to play Penny Arcade Adventures. Gabe and Tycho in the pulpy twenties, fighting Lovecraftian horrors, and it looks so good as well. It's like it was made specifically with me in mind.
Oh well, some day when I have a new laptop. Maybe I'll try my hand at the demo next year. And in the meantime I can savour the excitement.
By they way, I think growing a bit sick of my music collection is one of the best things I've done lately - I've been listening to Last FM radio and now there are so many bands I'm dying to check out. Atomic Fireballs, Club For Five, The Real Group, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, anything to do with Brian Setzer... And most of all those of the lame name, Squirrel Nut Zippers. Why has no one ever told me a genre like neo swing existed?
Okay, now I'll finish packing. I'm not bringing my laptop (I don't think it would survive the ordeal with all its keys intact) so you might not hear from me for a little while. But ah, tomorrow at this time I'll be in Akershus once more!
