Happy Halloween
September 15, 2011
When people say “scary” they usually mean something like a Halloween costume or movie or something like that. But today that term came to mind when I did a search for how people find this site. I was thinking it might be something like “cutting edge news about the harp world,” or “cool harpists” or even “amazing harpists laying new ground” etc.
Nope! The #1 search term for people find this site was … “funny harp lady.” Now, I don’t know about you, but I think that’s a pretty scarey thing.
Also scary is the fact that just about everywhere I go on the web these days, I am constantly being asked to “prove I am human.” Do I have a giant supergirl cape on, or laser eyes, or huge paranormal muscles that enable me to toss cars around like ragdolls? C’mon, I’m human, all right. I don’t think “the cloud” has to idolize me so.
So, just to prove that I am in fact a human being, versus a cloudbot or what have you, I want to show you what I’m all about. You may have guessed that I am a harpist. (Incidentally, with the demonstration of that kind of percise intellectual acumen and astounding insight, you might consider going into the futures business or Wall Street. You could make a killing!)
Here is an example of the type of thing I do:
Yup, that’s the old electric cheese slicer (or egg slicer?) at work with yours truly. Pretty funny, eh? Well, I hope not. I actually think it is a half-decent example of the use of the harp in pop/rock songs — what this blog is allegedly all about. Please, spare me the instrumental versions of Journey or what have you. Most people who like pop/rock or folk/rock or whatever this is, want to hear singing.
Anyway the reason this post is called “Happy Halloween” is because I hope I have a happy one. (Forget about you! *I’m* the one who needs to be happy! Whoever alwayssunny.org is, thanks for the compliment in linking to me, but I’m actually pretty depressed most of the time. It’s a tradition around here.)
So I’ve started thinking about Halloween, and what makes me happy, and there are two things I think are especially fun: superheroine outfits, and zombie costume ideas for women.
These two websites have a lot of options to consider as you get ready for Halloween, or to show up at your divorce proceedings, or report to work at a job you hate, etc., etc., etc. The possibilities are endless!
You know I like zombies because of Night of the Living Bread. Well, here’s another video for your visual and auditory edification:
That breadbag escapee, Jake, is scarey enough; but even scarier is those cottage cheese containers in the back of the fridge. Don’t open ‘em!
And with that, I bid you adieu. Enjoy the season!
