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
rydra_wong's comments,
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

Thank you! Consciousness was debatable for most of the trip, but the rest of it went well!

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.

Thank you! They did what they were supposed to!

I'm sorry; it's Richard Burton as in the actor. My brain mashed up the musical Camelot and L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time.

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

I wish you sleep at your destination, then. You don't have to be awake for this comment.

You're welcome! My knowledge of pop culture is idiosyncratic itself, and much better at decades and occasionally cultures not my own.

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.

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.
