yamamanamaSo I finally started Something Wicked This Way Comes. Unicorn Mountain was good, and in fact, for those of you who remember me and someone wanting to read a story about someone finding a TV guide from an alternate reality, let it be said that Unicorn Mountain has a section where they're watching TV from an alternate reality, in which Kennedy is alive in well in the 1980s, Dukakis became president, and Othello is a comedy entitled The Moor of Venice.
I met a volunteer named Miranda and one named Désireé. They weren't sisters, but Désireé says they're close enough. Both of them looked sort of like Shannon except not as tall, this means nothing to you, I know. Miranda had cool pendants and designs on her left hand drawn with Sharpie. Miranda is a character from The Tempest. Miranda is a moon of Uranus that looks like several leftover pieces of failed moons (Let's call them Jessica, Othello, Imogen, and Katherine) just stitched together to make a new one. Paul J. McAuley has never tweeted about Miranda. Miranda is a song by Slowdive, and once while listening to it one fine day in 2009, I thought to myself that it sounded like the way a conversation between Tara and Chantel would sound to someone who only understood Romanian. Miranda is a former genus of spiders, one that I myself saw near the goat pen/Dino's enclosure. Miranda is the planet Stations of the Tide is set on, which circles the sun Prospero with Mercutio, the Thrinacians, Gargantua, Pantagruel, Falstaff, and the Thulean stargrazers, as Caliban and Ariel circle it.
Désireé isn't any of those things.
I'm sure Drow and Oronoda don't come over here because they're sick of this and I'd say something about intelligence gathering but the word intelligence should never be used when talking about people who can't seem to figure out that Luscinia's been on that website for ten years, but Désireé and Miranda liked my watercolor pencil and ink portraits, and Miranda actually does tribalistic cartoony drawings and sculptures.
Miranda carved a tribalistic fish into one of the pumpkins and I carved a pirate and/or Basch fon Ronsenberg and an elephant skull with one of its incisors broken off. Someone carved a guy with a turtle helmet and another carved a really cool spider with glue-on eyes. I still smell pumpkin goop. Someone was saying we should have pumpkins without goop but someone else asked how they could reproduce, because that's where all the seeds are. We had to make sure to lock the future raccoon enclosure because the wild raccoons may come to steal our pumpkins otherwise. Probably very likely but hilarious nonetheless.
Meanwhile, an African spur-thighed tortoise had a bladder stone the size of his head removed. Brody said we still had it.
burning question: come to think of it, who would enforce a ban on pumpkins having goop?
