Tumblin'

I have a Tumblr now. Am I going to maintain two blogs? I don't know. Do I have enough things to say to fill two blogs? OF COURSE. That is not the issue. I could fill ten blogs with my useless thoughts. The issue is streamlining my internet output to make it easy enough for the public (i.e. my five readers) to consume.

Hellzapoppin'!

Last night I couldn't sleep. Tossed and turned. Regretted my dumb evening nap and even dumber caffeinated tea. On the plus side, I discovered lots of interesting things on the internet! For one, doesn't this show seem like it would have been a fun evening back in 1938? At the time, it was the longest-running Broadway musical. Description below, courtesy of Wikipedia. 

A comedy hodgepodge full of sight gags and slapstick, the show was continually rewritten throughout its run to remain topical; its opening scene was Hitler speaking in a Yiddish accent. A circus atmosphere prevailed, with dwarfs, clowns, trained pigeons, and audience participation adding to the merriment. The sketches were a "smorgasbord of explode-the-fourth-wall nuttiness: comedy songs; skits abandoned partway through; cameos by audience stooges; an absurdist raffle; and in a trademark stunt, a man who wandered through the theater hawking an ever-larger potted tree."
