THIS YEAR’S THEME

As there are so few of us around the thread lately we are making the Theme a little different this year. The twelve days will be divided up as follows:

Days 1,2 and 3 – Love

Days 4, 5 and 6 – Peace

Days 7, 8 and 9 – Happy

Days 10, 11 and 12 – Reflections

You can make as many or as few as you wish (or have time for ) for each three-day theme and you can interpret each theme in any way you choose.

Please make your artworks size 680 x 383px, remembering to keep them below the 100kb file size limit and put your name on them. Please send your finished pieces to me as soon as you can so that I can get the Martinmas vid underway early.

Please also let me know if you will be unable to post on the relevant days and wood like me to post them for you.

Yay for Martinmas

Hey there I'm just trying to explain to a friend what the Shippy Hippie Insanity Party is and the Kingdom of Etermal Optimism and now a question has come up..

Where did the Penguins come from? 0.o

The SHIP website (and the lexicon) doesn't seem to exist anymore so I thought this might be a good place to ask. I'm pretty sure knew about all that some years ago, but I can't remember..

*waves* Hello!

I'm the one who was responsible for the Shiptionary, way back when Didn't realise the site had gone offline - I do still have it saved though so could repost it somewhere sometime if there's a demand for it.

This is the Kingdom of Eternal Optimism definition from it, along with the map (one of my very early artwork attempts )

Kingdom of Eternal Optimism (noun): The place where shippers dwell, where the clouds are always fluffy, the caverns suitably angsty, the gutters are splashful and Sam and Jack are together forever.

And the Shippy Hippies definition:

Shippy Hippies (noun): A subset of the Ship Family, led by Nad and Jumble, who advocate peace between the warring denizens of the Angst Cavern, Fluff Cloud and Gutter. They also travel in colourful buses and smoke broccoli while singing songs and making campfires (not in the buses though, for that would be dangerous).

I can't remember the penguins origin story though either You need a really old hand from the S/J thread for that one. LJ, Nad, either of you remember?

Awesome! Congrants!!!!



Why why? ... the car will forever be known by that name now!

RL's been busy for me too.
Went from almost moving to Vancouver, than to London - to maybe moving to Bulgaria
Everything is up in the air atm, but there's a studio in Budapest that might want to give me a job, but I'm still waiting for a replay from them Hate waiting.
I'm gonna have an interview with an Indian studio based in Mumbai, but that's the only country where I don't feel like going to.
In the mean time, I'm gonna do some animation for this short animated movie, look at the trailer if you like that sort of a thing Really looking forward to that, but that's on volunteering bases.
Heehee
*fingers crossed for Budapest or Sofia* cross all fingers!

*huggles* I'm seriously thinking of going to Hamilton show... that would be a dream come true, but we shall see. I wood LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing all of you again!

*waves and squishy huggles* Deeeeee!!!!! Come to Hamilton, come to Hamilton! I'll go with you (I have plans to see it MANY times) and maybe some other Woohoos will too and even if they don't we can have a Woohoomeet while you're over

And good luck on the jobs front! My cousin is currently living in Sofia, and he loves it

[josiane]

Also, double posting with a very important reminder

It's Secret Santa time!

This is how it will work:

1. Sign up here! You have until FRIDAY 2nd DECEMBER to do so.

2. I will PM you with your allocated person as soon as possible after that so you can start making pressies.

3. PM your gifts to JOSI by THURSDAY 22nd DECEMBER. I will then send them all out on Friday 23rd in time for Christmas

Have at it, Woohoos!

Showing my ignorance and too lazy to google it - what's Hamilton?

Edit: Ugh! A musical!

But I'd grit my teeth and go if Dee comes over

Oh Jumble. It's not just a musical. It's a hip hop inspired musical retelling of the life of Alexander Hamilton. It's incredibly inventive, emotive, and clever. It has 18th century cabinet debates recast as rap battles. It has King George III singing sad songs about losing the colonies. It has America's favourite fighting Frenchman. It has rhymes you could only dream of. And Peggy. It's amazing.

...

It's probably not really your thing

(You wouldn't have to go. We can do that one night and woohoomeet the rest of the time )

[Jumble]

Hmm.

Actually, thinking about it, my dislike of musicals isn't logical. I love all kinds of music (except Jazz - definitely don't like that!) - I guess it's because as a child I was constantly subjected to The Sound of Music over and over and over.......... plus loads of Fred Astaire films, Bing Crosby and Bob Hope 'Roads to...', Frank Sinatra (*grinds teeth*), and *horror of horrors* Disney films!!! I just don't get why characters have to burst into (mostly) irrelevant song every five minutes. And don't get me started on panto

On the other hand, I could listen to Dean Martin all day long, and I will confess to enjoying Danny Kaye's Hans Christian Anderson - the Inch Worm scene in particular.

So.......... maybe I should re-educate myself and give modern musicals a chance

[josiane]

I kind of get where you're coming from. I love musicals but there are plenty of bad ones that just stick songs in every now and then because they think they ought to be there. Good musicals use the music more effectively than that.

Hamilton is pretty paradigm-breaking and has won a ton of plaudits for reinventing what musical theatre can be. It covers a huge range of styles, musically, including genres that you wouldn't necessarily think of as being in musicals, like rap and hip hop. If you're intrigued, you can listen to most of it on YouTube.

[Jumble]

'Right Hand Man' could have been written for the first scenes of The Muskies S3

I guess a live on-stage musical would be a lot different to a movie? I'm half persuaded that I should go see it.........

I did enjoy seeing 'Stomp' a few years back, not that it could really be classed as a 'musical'

I think I'm the only person in the world that hated 'Frozen' 'Tangled' was at least watchable
