Speak to me, muse of my worn-out shoes

No pictures were taken before it was cut into, but [personal profile] selkie made, for my birthday observed, an Election Day Cake. My godchild and his boyfriend made the icing. It had cranberries instead of raisins and I ate two slices.



Otherwise I went for a walk in the late afternoon, read more Leo Rosten, watched more Tasmanian lesbians, did some book yelling with Selkie. In the process of re-finding John Foreman's The 'Ouses in Between (1966) because I had one of its music-hall songs stuck in my head, I found his obituary from August and feel I should tell [personal profile] ashlyme to look out for his broadsheets and chapbooks in used book stores. The Internet Archive still appears to be down, which is something of a bummer because it's where I found the last three movies I wanted to write about. I am extremely confident that I look like some kind of deranged monk in this knee-length black hoodie which I have inherited for winter, but my godchild fell over laughing the second he pulled up my hood to complete the effect, so I am regarding it as a public service.

That is quite a cake! The name made me curious, and I ended up at this NPR article from 2016 that explains the history (which I presume you and [personal profile] selkie already know, but which I didn't!). It was weird for me that the people in the article were based in Asheville NC... back in the news these past few weeks, but for such a different reason...

providing the public service of making your godchild laugh seems well worth looking like a deranged monk--hell, one might want to look like a deranged monk even without connection to a public service!

Deranged monk photos please!

I'm glad you're having a good time ^__^
