Fandom Radio, November 22
Hiiiiiiiiii, everyone! Lacey Burrows here with you on WTFH, happy Monday, and I hope we're all feeling more or less back to n -- usual. Not . . . 'cause . . . y'know, Fandom . . . never mind.
Anyway.
Quiet kind of day, huh?
Classes
. . . in a manner of speaking. Dean Stinson took over Food Appreciation today and got everyone to list what they were thankful for as part of teaching everyone about Thanksgiving. Late. And in a strip joint. At least we know Barney was enjoying it.
Is this some weird American Thanksgiving custom nobody told me about?
Kerrigan treated Macro-Tactics to less of a meal of questionable classiness and more of a lecture on how sometimes even a few brilliant strategic minds can get beaten by a large unthinking army, then had them discuss what they'd do with unlimited manpower. Or test out a simulation of what it'd be like if they were the lone thinker. Not like that statue, I think. Although now I'm imagining the TAs and Kerrigan posing like that statue. Around the World In Fifteen Weeks got to learn a little about Madagascar today . . . until someone sneezed and the entire sim shut down so everyone had to explore empty streets, which Tara and Karla thought was a little creepy. Kyle was on hand, and Bond was trying to troubleshoot, so it can't have been too creepy . . . right?
Personal Weaponry got a lecture on . . . let's just say really, really big things that go boom, okay? That they got to shoot things with while Max presumably kept an eye on them.
Over in the library, Gabrielle got engrossed in a book of old Welsh folklore that I'm not even going to try to pronounce. All those double letters and vowels that don't sound anything like they look like they're supposed to sound like, that gave Faramir trouble when he came in to apologize to Gabrielle for some awkwardness the other week, and ended up reading out loud from aforementioned book.
In faculty and school office news, Jaina was hard at work, Sherlock was fiddling around with someone's office supplies, and the front office staff took 'transparency' to a whole new extreme when the walls turned to glass and they got a really good view of the last part of a pigeon's meal's . . . exciting digestive tract journey.
Clubs
French Club, as always under Sookie and Emma's leadership and Henry's advisorship, talked about the weather. You know, I'm not sure how useful "It's raining ketchup and fries" would be as a phrase outside of Fandom, but it would at least be good for starting a conversation.
It was almost raining pies, but only figuratively, at Kappa Kappa Gremlin, where a pie-eating contest was the order of the day, after the mingling and the discussion of their date-auction idea. Zack and Alexander were there to do their leaderly thing, and Constable Fraser, I hope you took one of those pies home for your wife.
Dorms
Kate was doing some webcam-chatting when Bod came to visit, since he hadn't seen her in a few days. Jacob decided to celebrate his birthday with so much junk food, I think the concept of it is freaking out one of the squirrels. It sure didn't get Rosalind's approval.
Raven wasn't doing so well with meditating, but she got a call from Hoshi and a visit from Bobby. With pie. Bobby later dropped in to visit Sookie, who told him all about her disappointment in Food Network Thanksgiving shows. I, for one, am disappointed in their lack of Canadian Thanksgiving coverage. I mean, think about it! You guys could have gotten such a head start planning dishes and things!
Luke and Nico were playing video games, which is apparently a more-the-merrier kind of thing, since Percy and Jason came to join in.
Town
It was quiet for Ender at Fixer-Uppers, except for the mango incidents, Dani Davis was catching up on royal wedding gossip at the Gig, I had a quiet and sadly unicorn-free day at Luke's Diner, and Quinn ran into some awkwardness at the Arms when she found out some of the staff were touchy about having to work on Thanksgiving.
At Book Haven Claudia wasn't in a great mood, which didn't get any better when Jacob came in, since there were messy admissions about kissing other people and getting yelled at for getting beaten up on trips home. Scully's stop in was hopefully less contentious, and more of just a question about whether to stay in Fandom or go home for the holiday. At Dite's Decadent Delights, Karla wasn't in the best form either, but Emma brought her lunch, and Aphrodite brought dinner and checked up on her.
Ino was at the clinic, studying, eating an apple fritter, and somehow managing to make me and the squirrels crave apple fritters hours later. Oh, I am so doing a batch of baking when I get home.
I can't necessarily endorse Jake's 'fling rubber bands at Tino' activity at Caritas tonight, though, even though the squirrels seem to.
And seeing as that's everything, I'm . . . going to go home and see about those apple fritters now. Oooooh, yum . . . night, Fandom!
Anyway.
