It makes me happy when people refer to JRR Tolkien as Jolkien Rolkien Rolkien Tolkien.

I've never heard that, clearly I've been missing out.

You are one of today's lucky 10,000 when it comes to silly memes on Tumblr!

Ukulele!

[petra]

What are you working on playing on the uke?

[desireearmfeldt]

This and that, we've got various songbooks like Rise Up Singing and The Ukulele Fake Book. Spouse and I have a couple of duets we've been practicing up (in the sense of songs that require two voices) -- Barenaked Ladies' "If I Had A Million Dollars" and Simon & Garfunkel's "Scarborough Fair/Canticle."

Rise Up Singing is an excellent resource. I have very fond memories of the version that was around in the mid-90's. What a fun spread of songs you have available!

Probably only funny to me, but I really liked this thread of Final Fantasy XIV characters responding to an “Can I copy your homework?” text. It’s so spot on for the characters I’ve met so far, and I bookmarked it so I could revisit it once I finish the expansions.

I find that the funniest jokes are the ones the fewest people get. Enjoy the perfection!

This just arrived on my dash from jessie-the-k - cats wearing hats felted from their own shed fur!

That is super cute.

[desireearmfeldt]

Whoa.

I don't know why this bird that looks like a pinecone entertains me so much, but each time I see it, I laugh

[desireearmfeldt]

It does the Humor thing of not being what one expects, and it does it beautifully and naturally, which makes it more fun. I'm with you, that's good shit.

The evening sky is really pretty tonight!

I will also share one on behalf of my cat: her clumsy human dropped a piece of chicken ramen on the floor (after spending all of dinner refusing to share the ramen). Cat enjoyed the ramen very much. :D

(And as the human, I also enjoy not having to clean up the floor!)

[petra]

Yay for a pretty sky and chicken ramen for the cat/roomba!
