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.

1. Yay vacation!

It's working out great so far!

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.

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.
