Laffs! (Old Blighty–style and other)
Do you like laughing in a British accent? Good, so do I.
As of Thursday, January 6, free tix were still available for the taping of the second season of John Oliver's ridiculously named John Oliver's New York Stand-Up Show. (Thank you, Sir Obvious Crumpetnick.)
Tell us the one about the Boston Tea Party, John Oliver!
There are tapings January 14, 15, and 16. I went last year, and I laughed my face off at Oliver and his fab lineup. I'm going again this year, and you maybe can, too. Check The Black List NYC for tickets. And be prepared for a four-hour taping with no bathroom breaks. That part is super-fun.
A Very Harry Birthday
Happy birthday to me! Yesterday was the big day, and while I did not host my party in the Gryffindor Common Room this year, I did receive Mattel's Nimbus 2000. The broomstick that was discontinued because it vibrates.
A rare picture of Mattel's vibrating Nimbus 2000, which has been largely exorcised from the Interwebz.
I trust it was given to me for display only.
Royally Adorable
I don't really care about Prince William and Kate Middleton, and the fact that there's still a taxpayer-funded monarchy continues to dumbfound me, but it is pretty adorbs that Will and Kate plan to have no post-nuptial servants. (HT to LS!) Granted, it's the least they can do, but still . . . look at little princey-wincey tryin' to be all street!
Prince William and Kate Middleton: perfectly capable of dressing themselves, thank you very much.
Okay, well, not that street. Ennyway, the prince, who's in the Royal Air Force (Did everyone know this? I don't know anything about these Windsor peeps. They have a secret tie-knotting method, right?), is super-tight with his granny, the queen, which is also pretty cute. Oh, nobility.
