Last night I watched some incredibly funny videos that made me laugh to extents I rarely laughed this year.

I may need to rewatch those videos right now, because right now I'm feeling anxiety and fear to extents I rarely had ever. sad

I work as a museum educator, which means that I plan content for guided tours, events for different age groups, among other programs and activities. In my work-calendar May is one of the crazy busy periods I have to deal with, since there will be loads of school-classes and adults on work retreats visiting right before the summer leave.

Among the bazillion things on my plate at the moment is a series of activity-days for kindergarteners, with various outdoor activity spots where the kids can play on their own, while supervised by their teachers. As I'm a folklorist, I had an idea to make things more fairytale-themed this year. Problem is, I've spent up most of my creativity in recent months, as I'm planning for weekly, monthly, and a yearly routines, while also adapting to spontaneous tasks that end up on my desk with zero notice.

So, only two activity spots I've figured out how to make more explicitly connected to fairytales, with one where they get to fish after horse-shoes for a Brook Horse, and another one where they get to deliver mail between trolls. Those two are based on actual local folk-tales. I do have enough stuff for them to do for fun, but not enough to market it as fairytale-themed, which I am a bit bummed about.

I probably SHOULDN'T interact with the fandoms of certain works I like but I can't not talk to someone about the stuff I'm interested in and its easier to find people willing to listen in the fandom

(that said, the fandom of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime on twitter seems to be hard to find and on reddit the main sub is more of a hatedom at this point anyways so I've given up on that one)

In Lucy, Morgan Freeman says that in a good environment, a cell will seek to reproduce. In a bad environment, it seeks immortality.

... I'll probably never reproduce, but what does one do with "immortality"? Whatever they want?

What about when they don't know what to want...

So bad news: even with the new life-hack, I couldn't find a specific video I saw on YouTube, which was based on Splatoon (of the female Inkling kissing the male, and he's all happy... until he realizes she planted a Splat Bomb at his feet while he was in a lovestruck daze, after which it explodes and splats him)

The good news: I found ANOTHER old Splatoon video of The Heavy teaching the female Inkling how to speak, but she keeps going all "Woomy" until Heavy gets frustrated and explodes.

I was down to like 4600 to 4700 videos on my Watch Later list, but I'm creeping up to 5000 again.

Why can't people just stop making stuff?

I've been on You Tube for over a decade.

There was a time that I was able to knock them all off, but after I quit the library I slowly built it up again.

Like how I have over 3000 favorites, maybe three dozen Vocaloid playlists, thousands of Pinterest pins...

I just spend way too much time online.

But hey, how many people these days don't.

Just spent ages running around Minecraft, collecting cool stuff, crossing the ocean, all just to find a decent place out of the endless desert biome to live and just as I'm there and digging a hole to hide in for the night... bam. Creeper.

RIP that game I guess I'll never be able to find that area again 😭

Still can't get over how "Misery Business" and "Good 4 U" aren't just similar melodically, but tackle the same topic lyrically.

My Sugar Rush OC would be friends with Minty Sakura (the Japanese Palette Swap of Minty Zaki) and Crumbelina DiCaramello. Since he's a boy, this would also be a Two Girls and a Guy trio, similar to Rancis, Candlehead and Taffyta.

...no, I'm not comfortable thinking if he'd also join in on the racers bullying Taffyta, he could just be added to the game after it got reset.

The Eight Clown Commandments

     Clown 

1. I will keep my acts, performance and behavior in good taste while I am in costume and makeup. I will remember at all times that I have been accepted as a member of the clown club only to provide others, principally children, with clean clown comedy entertainment. I will remember that a good clown entertains others by making fun of himself or herself and not at the expense or embarrassment of others.

2. I will learn to apply my makeup in a professional manner. I will provide my own costume. I will carry out my appearance and assignment for the entertainment of others and not for personal gain or personal publicity when performing for either the International club or alley events. I will always try to remain anonymous while in makeup and costume as a clown, though there may be circumstances when it is not reasonably possible to do so.

3. I will neither drink alcoholic beverages nor smoke while in makeup or clown costume. Also, I will not drink alcoholic beverages prior to any clown appearances. I will conduct myself as a gentleman/lady, never interfering with other acts, events, spectators, or individuals. I will not become involved in or tolerate sexual harassment or discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability or any protected status.

4. I will remove my makeup and change into my street clothes as soon as possible following my appearance, so that I cannot be associated with any incident that may be detrimental to the good name of clowning. I will conduct myself as a gentleman/lady at all times.

5. While on appearance in makeup and costume, I will carry out the directives of the producer or his designated deputies. I will abide by all performance rules without complaint in public.

6. I will do my very best to maintain the best clown standards of makeup, costuming, properties, and comedy.

7. I will appear in as many clown shows as I possibly can.

8. I will be committed to providing an atmosphere free of discrimination and harassment for clowns of all ages to share ideas and learn about the art of clowning.

My random thought for the day.

I liked it when Spike had a great big crush on Rarity. :) It’s very cute. waii As a matter of fact, it inspired a part of my own writing. [tup] In my seventh book, Anne-Marie and Lynessa’s son Julian has a great big crush on Max’s girlfriend Anna. waii Wouldn’t you if you found out you share a birthday with a beautiful vampire lady? ;)

Uhhh... spastic is a slur related to muscle spasm. And it's a very offensive one.

Nintendo had to recall copies of Mario Party 8 in UK for this reason.
