Thursday: Took the day off and put up some insulation. Noticed the difference immediately.

Friday: Celebrated 11/11/11 with a rockin' Spinal Tap party at my folks' house. Words cannot do it justice. Jesse nearly hurt himself laughing when we discovered Effect 19 on the effects peddle with the electric violin ([livejournal.com profile] westrider says it's a talk-box). It sounds reasonable slow, but when you play a fiddle tune through it it sounds like a chorus of electric guinea pigs singing in a fish tank.

Summary: Electric violin! Effects peddle! And a drum kit! And multiple electric guitars and basses! AND AN ACCORDION. Because I know the type of of people who just happen to have an accordion in the car.

The best picture to come out of the night is [livejournal.com profile] westrider in the pink/purple bob wig. O.M.G. There was also a bit of nostalgia when Em, [livejournal.com profile] emony42 and I were sitting on each other in the big blue chair, and Em looked at Emony, who was pretty much asleep, and said "This is basically every highschool party we had in microcosm, isn't it? People at work ask what kind of wild parties I went to in highschool, and I say 'I went to Sarah's house and hung out with her dad.'" (at which point Dad, who happens to be wearing a green-and-black rocker wig, looks over and says "Hey!" and Em quickly adds "And it was awesome!").

(Oh, yes -- Emony is totally capable of sleeping through a drum kit, electric violin, two basses, a guitar, and an accordion. This surprises no one.)

Saturday: Hung out with [livejournal.com profile] westrider in a slightly quieter environment. :P Started trying to make the contents of three boxes of studio crap fit into two boxes of studio crap.

Sunday: [livejournal.com profile] emony42 came to visit and be my Lovely Assistant. Finally reinstalled the light-fixture over the sink. The empty can's only been dangling for, er, a year and a half... One of the downsides of growing up around constant remodeling is that these things don't bother me, which means I basically stop noticing them entirely. But it's fixed now! A few hours after she and her pooch left I even managed to get the cats inside, though Monkey hid under [livejournal.com profile] madalchemist's bed and cried until I lured him out with treats.

Also, successfuly got the three boxes of stuff to become two boxes of stuff. Now the third box is full of flamingoes.

In conclusion: Houses! Friends! Flamingoes! Effect 19 is the best effect ever!

And I got sod all done for the creativity challenge. I'll post amphibilizard journals to make up for it, yes?

Um.

Well, that's something I never thought I'd hear.
