The infrastructure will collapse from voltage spikes

I am heading to bed early, because I am heading to New York even earlier tomorrow morning. Wish me luck with trains, consciousness, and singing.

This afternoon in [personal profile] rydra_wong's comments, [personal profile] kore was attempting to describe the Lovecraftian decor of the Christmas White House: "Other highlights include a scary wreath made out of sharpened pencils that looks like you could take out people's eyes with it and an all-white representation of the White House in gingerbread that looks exactly like it's about to be drenched with blood."

Suddenly all I could hear was Richard Burton:

Don't let it be forgot
That once there was a spot
For one brief shining moment
That was known as Camazotz

Good luck with trains!

Also...wait, is this the Sir Richard Burton I'm thinking of? Why was he writing about a Mayan bat god? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camazotz

I feel like I am missing some fundamental context here. Or accidentally fell into a parallel universe.

I'm glad the trains worked! I am currently on one, and thus succeeding in getting to Boston, but not so much succeeding at getting sleep.

I had no idea there was an actor by that name...I am really bad at being culturally aware. Thanks for the clarification!

Best of luck with all the things.

The words you thought of Burton singing made me laugh out loud and scare the cat. I assume he was bouncing a ball as he sang.

Of course I thought you had invented it yourself, and certainly you are entirely capable of doing so!

That is really a very fine thing, that song. Especially the bureaucratic snots. I wonder if Madeleine L'Engle ever knew of it.

"GOOD JOB RETURNING THE FAVOR."

*snort* Had there been a cat around, the favor would have all returned from you to me. But there is sun for the first time in days and they are disporting themselves in it.
