US Air Guitar Regionals - Brooklyn
So I decided, rather last minute, to enter the US Air Guitar regional competition in Brooklyn, but it's Wednesday, July 9th and they were closed for entries. However, the website said "... if you can provide evidence that you have Norse God-like abilities" that they may be able to squeeze us into competition.
I promptly emailed them to see how I could prove my Norseness. Video of me air guitaring? Video of me dressed up as Samurai from the Superfriends?
I only had one of those at the moment to send them, but apparently it was enough, because at 5am today they accepted my entry.
Which leaves me 3 1/2 days to edit my song, choreograph, make a costume and practice. Brilliant, Shy.
If you want to come out and show your love for SuperKiller Fragalisticexpialidocious (that's me), by all means, join me!

Doctor Who Predictions (spoilers through current episode)
My roommate Danaher has brilliantly postulated that the Doctor's current companion, Donna Noble, is, in fact, the Master in another human form. Though she doesn't know it, of course.
It completely fits. We see a female hand pick up the Master's ring at the end of last season. Various characters have been telling Donna that she has an unusual fate, is incredibly "powerful" and full of "change." Plus she occasionally wears a huge ring that could easily be the Master's ring with a bit of costume gemstone on top of it.
Just wanted to put this out into the blogosphere, to plant Danaher's flag as the first to come up with this call.

I Believe Obama is Having THIS Moment Right Now Regarding Clinton...
As the story goes, this is the moment in 1960, after Kennedy has locked up the Democratic nomination, that John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy are discussing the fact that JFK is going to have to choose Lyndon B. Johnson as his vice-presidential running mate.

Mexico Recap
As I mentioned before, I went to Mexico City for a job interview and then stayed for a total of 10 days to see how I might like living there.It was a great trip. To sum up: I visited the pyramids of Teotihuacan, rode a trajinera
(gondala) through the canals of Xochimilco, climbed up to the cliffside the pyramid temple of Tepozteco high above Tepotzlan, walked through the ruins of the Templo Mayor in the heart of the CentroHistorico and the "Thieves Market," Mercado Tepito. I saw Frida Kahlo's Blue House and 
Leon Trotsky's home in Coyoacan and the Ballet Folklorico at the beautiful Palacio des Belles Artes, shopped at the Bazar Sabado in San Angel, went to the national zoo and Museum of Anthropology in the Bosque de Chapultepec, the bull fights in the Monumental Plaza Mexico, a hundred mariachi bands at Garibaldi Plaza and the Lucha Libre (Mexican wrestling) at the Arena de Mexico. I explored miles and miles of the city's different neighborhoods trying to get a feel for it's people and culture.And the food... fantastic.
Chile rellano con queso at La Luna Mextli in TepotzlanI took over 2300 photographs and 3+ hours of footage of my trip. I'm still wrapping my head around how best to present it all, but hopefully I'll have something more extensive up this week.
