We took the bones out from the road

[sovay]

I have done nothing of note with my day except sleep twelve hours, have hot-smoked salmon for breakfast, take a walk around the neighborhood, snack on a whole lot of Japanese gummies of jaw-perplexing texture, be shown the first episode of Schmigadoon! (2021–23) which reminds me intensely and approvingly of Forbidden Broadway, and yell about a book with selkie, so I am definitely experiencing a vacation. I drew from a Tarot deck I had not touched in over twenty years and came out with its Justice, Athene weaver of stratagems. I had goat's milk before bed.

so I am definitely experiencing a vacation.

Aw, good. <3

[sovay]

Aw, good.

It's really nice! Today I went for a longer walk with my godchild and will be making babka later in the evening with selkie.

1. Yay vacation!
2. YAY SCHMIGADOON! I am your one-stop Schmigadoon! chatter shop, although if you know John Chu and want to add him to the chat that's fine too.

SCHMIGADOON!!! If it's of any interest, I wrote up the recent stage musical adaptation and how it compared to the TV show. (sovay: contains spoilers)

[mrissa]

Thanks for the reminder! :)

My godchild and his bio-mom went and saw it! I was played some clips of it last night.

[troisoiseaux]

Nice!

1. Yay vacation!

It's working out great so far!

I am enjoying it immensely. Tonight as Melissa was about to get her first proper song, I yelled at the screen, "Do 'If I Were a Bell'!" and then she basically did.

I will now be fascinated to know which season and/or which parts of season resonate most with you. I firmly believe there should be an internet quiz that tells you about yourself based on your favorite Schmigadoon! songs. S1 had some brilliant moments I truly appreciated, but my heart belongs to S2, in the Hair/Godspell/Jesus Christ Superstar references that utterly shaped me as a child. There is a particular bit of kick-leap choreography that made me groan, "Oh my gawwwwd" and raise my hand like an athlete taking a penalty, yes, that's me you're so adroitly skewering on the screen there, I admit it.

[umadoshi]

Mmmmm, vacation! *^^* I'm so glad it's involved some solid sleep so far!

[sovay]

I'm so glad it's involved some solid sleep so far!

Very much so! I keep waking up at a normal time and then my body keeps knocking itself back out for an extra hour or two. It is a little frustrating but probably healthy.

It’s well known that part of the cure for What the Jesus Christing Heck!? is banana bread.

It has been serving me well! I look forward to adding the babka as an alternate supplement.

[selkie]

I’m looking forward to A New Way with Cinnamon Glop! Feel free to pick one to cut in your late-night peregrinations.

[gwynnega]

Yay vacation!

[sovay]

Yay vacation!

I don't really have them and I enjoy them so much!

[nineweaving]

How utterly copacetic!

Nine

[sovay]

How utterly copacetic!

It makes a change!

I drew from a Tarot deck I had not touched in over twenty years and came out with its Justice, Athene weaver of stratagems.

Glad you're enjoying your vacation.

Might I inquire as to which deck this might be?

[selkie]

The Goddess Tarot by Kris Waldherr, probably acquired 1996, last handled by the sovay in question 2002 at the latest, when I left the Eleven card in their possession as I knew I wouldn’t see them at least three years.

[batdina]

Thanks for this. As I mentioned below, I've found an old one and will poke and play with it a bit shortly.

[selkie]

It's been throwing majors for sovay and swords for me all weekend. My usual suit is cups (which has also come up about as often as ever). I'm about to pick up a Marseilles or whatever cheapie and send this back with them for a freakin' rest cure. It's usually fairly slant and has taken, with the times, to punching repeatedly above the neck.
...It's possible I've said if we ever sat in their mother's house and threw a Jacob's Ladder, I'd be liable for replacing the roof.

...It's possible I've said if we ever sat in their mother's house and threw a Jacob's Ladder, I'd be liable for replacing the roof.

You didn't think it would work in her house!

[selkie]

Oh, you're right! batdina, sorry, this is the correct assessment. Nothing works in di shviger's house. It's just set that way. She has promised me it is not the house, but a transitive thing -- I think transitive it's the right word -- it's the person, not the place. May it be true another hundred and twenty years.

[sovay]

Glad you're enjoying your vacation.

Thank you!

It's this deck, it has lovely art and a neat arcana, and as far as we can tell it's just given up on the whole thing about coming true on the slant and has gone for AWOOGA.

[edit] Tonight it gave me Inanna, the Star.

[batdina]

I found an old one. I haven't used a "new" deck in years, but what the hell, right?

Thanks to you both for the info.

May it be useful to you!
