As I am soon to be older, and I procrastinated about sending the bill in, today I had to go to the BMV to renew my tags. Super Exciting. Now I get anxious about going to the BMV. I'm convinced that I'm going to I don't know offend the gods of bureaucracy and then it will go something like this.
*waits in a line, gets a number, waits some more, number is eventually called*
"Hi I'd like to renew my tags please"
*hands BMV-man drivers license and tag-renewal bill*
"well I'm going to need 4 more kinds of ID and form 87-d the yellow version filled out in triplicate or I'm going to have to charge you 700 dollars and implode your car. NEXT"

And then I'm lost forever in an unending hell of forms and waiting in lines only to be told I need different forms and different lines possibly ones in other building but I can't get there because my car has already been imploded. "sorry for the inconvenience, here's a complaint form, go stand in that line over there"

This has never actually happened, and the people at the BMV are always very nice and yet.....

In other news, I went to a concert with Mary last night and afterwards as we were chatting with the adorable young irish man from the band, the conversation turned from music and Ireland to well cannibalism.

I think it's me, and so henceforth I shall be known as The-Girl-to-Whom-Everyone-Speaks-of-Cannibalism. *sigh*

So here I am thinking 'Ok I think I'll write a quick book review post that will be fun' and I stop on over to my little used long neglected journal. I see that the last post I put up has some comments about I assume Enter The Haggis. Not so much. The first was from Mary about Enter the Haggis. The second was about a harry potter song and most of it was in russian I think. The next three were all lists of links maybe from some sort of forum, Most of it was in english.

So if this post is accidentally getting posted to some sort of russian harry potter forum please let me know.

If not
Dear russian harry potter forum,
I have found some of your comments please let me know where they have wandered away from and I shall ship them home forthwith.

Next time a book review

I saw today that I hadn't posted since April. Many things have happened since April(as it is now November.) I could write a post about that..... But that seems like a lot of work.

Instead I'll write about Enter the Haggis. Enter the Haggis is the band that my friend Mary is currently stalking (not really, they just keep ending up in the same places due to cosmic coincidence) and they were playing at a pub near my house last night. I worked till 10 but got there just before they started the second set, found Mary, sat down with her and a bunch of people I don't know (or in the case of Steward-the-former-band-mate know only vaguely). The music was good, loud, catchy, there were bagpipes, it was AWESOME!

To anyone who is a fan of Flogging Molly or Dropkick Murphys I would recomend Enter the Haggis. A disturbing concept if you take it literally but a darn good band.

Two or so weeks ago my mom and I went to see Robert Post who is a....comedian? mime? Character actor? One man show of epic proportions? (at one point he played a mountain. In any case, whatever it is he does he was fantastic! He's like all the best bits of Whose line is it anyway?. It was a smallish theater and he had a great back and forth with the audience, and he's a Columbus native. Any further attempts to describe the hilariousness would just end up with me waving my arms about and you can't see that through the internet so just go see his video POST and if he ever comes back to town definitely see him live. ~Allison

Green Eggs and Hamlet What if Dr. Seuss wrote Hamlet? What if? well it would probably end up being a lot like this. Man I love the internet.

About 2 pm today I decided that I needed to go to the library. Still feeling a bit hazy mentally from being all sick yesterday I decided that driving would not be my friend and set out to walk. It was a very nice day for it all the trees and the flowers blooming and I had a lovely time. At the library I found, in addition to what I had gone for, a book on tussie-mussies and the victorian language of flowers. This is relevent to a new idea I had this morning, and now I'm sitting around (putting off doing homework) trying to come up with translations for things like Mad Science- Oregano(creativity) and Nettle(cruelty) or maybe Dahlia(instability) and Walnut(intellect) You Will Rue The Day You Mocked Me- Blackberry (dangerous pride),Scots thistle(vengeance), Coltsfoot(justice shall be done to you) Also my knee hurts which I'm choosing to blame on the dream I had last night where it got detached and the person who taped it all back together put a piece of paper in between the parts so the flesh wouldn't heal and I had to unwrap it and peel the paper off so that my leg would grow back together. If anyone can think of some more good mad scientist sayings please leave them in the comments. ~Allison Quote from that Mars thing I'm writing "This is the third most populous city on Mars." "You have got to be shitting me, this isn't even a one horse town!" "Well of course not, we ride Ostrich" ~Thomas and Ari from that Mars thing I'm writing

Wild Lark	[Apr. 11th, 2010\|08:36 am] windex_cat
My friend Mary's band Wild Lark had a show on Friday night. The pub Claddagh was nice the food was good but it was very hard to find. All of the other restaurants in the area (and being Polaris there were about 70 zillion) had big brightly lit 'EAT FOOD HERE' neon signage. The Claddagh not so much, subdued lighting, very tasteful. However I could see the Verizon store next door a mile away I had to be almost on top of the pub before I saw it. That being said, that was really my only complaint about the evening. Once I found the place everything was great. I arrived shortly after nine to find that the band was already playing and the place was pretty full. Arriving immediately after me was a woman (also wanting to see the band, also alone) that I thought looked familiar. When I was given a very large table for one person I invited her to join me. She turned out to be Mary's old roommate from collage and I've forgotten her name, but she was very nice. Shortly she saw some other people she knew (friends of Mike the guitarist) and they joined us as well. The company was good, the food was good, and the music was great. Toe-tapping, distract you from the conversation in the middle of your sentence FAN-FREEKING-TASTIC. GOOD JOB MARY (also Trish, Cathy and Mike) Mary had a drunken banjo fanboy, who thanked her again and again for being awesome, playing the banjo, being awesome, etc. Mary also was recovering from the plague and spent the last half of the last set smiling vaguely like 'I don't know who you people are or why I have this banjo but I'll try not to fall down until I figure it out?" I think it was past her bedtime. It was past mine too, I hadn't planed to stay all the way to the end, because I had to work on Saturday morning, but I kept saying, "well one more song, one more,". So Wild Lark. Toe-tapping Irish music that will keep you up past your bedtime. I highly recommend seeing them. ~Allison

Flower Factory

I've just been to the most magical place on earth. No not Disney.
For all the years I worked as a florist the owner of my shop or my boss or whoever would go and buy things at the Flower Factory a Ohio based floral wholesaler. The best things always came from the Flower Factory and I always wanted to go. However you needed a vendors license or a letter of non-profit tax exemption or tax documentation showing that you owned your own business. Therefor no Flower Factory for me, until today, for the Flower Factory has begun to accept personal memberships.

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MECCA!

No really. The whole place is made of win and pie and kitties and everything that is good in the world. I spent the first hour and a half I was there wandering around beaming at everything then spent the second hour and a half I was there shopping. I would be there still but I got hungry. My joy, it knows no bounds.

And now I'm going to go and unpack all the amazing things I brought home with me and probably call my mom and tell her all about it, 'cause I'm a dork like that.
