This weekend, I made my musical debut at FilKONtario, a filk convention outside of Toronto. There’s even video evidence. The lyrics to another song we did are posted here (with links to the original version of that).
I wrote a post explaining the whole deal, which you can find here (I ended up not preparing anything on the ukulele, because I was too worried about the singing…I might try to take some lessons now that the big event is over!).

So, as many of you probably know, I’m married to half of the nerd-rock band Ookla the Mok. And as you may have heard by now, Ookla has a brand new CD out! It’s called vs. Evil, and it’s chock full of songs about supervillains and mad scientists. The totally fantabulous cover art is by Art…
BOOM-shalocktapus!
(Srsly, go buy the album.)
Reblogging because turhansbeycompany made me laugh. :)

Click here for complete lyrics/liner notes.
The entire album is super fun—the lyrics are funny, and the tunes cover a wide range of musical styles, including hip hop, power pop, and 80s hair metal. I’d listen to Ookla even if I wasn’t married to one of them. ;)
If you’re interested, but not sure if you want to buy, you can listen first on facebook or on soundcloud. Here’s a little taste for you:
[I can’t make the soundcloud widget work, so just click here.]

Today in British Literature, we were reading Beowulf and we got to the part where Beowulf rips off Grendel’s arm and hangs it in Herot, and I looked over to my teacher and he had this stupid grin on his face so I looked up and saw tHIS.
just gonna reblog/signal boost this because I have a better picture and this was a thing that actually happened
so I told my teacher about this post and all he had to say was “make me internet famous.”
I’m teaching Beowulf next… Hmm…
I had a Grendel’s arm hanging in my former classroom (I didn’t put it there…it predated me). I had to answer a lot of questions from freshmen about it.

theimprobablefiction asked: Congrats! YOU ARE AMAZING. :)
