Monday saw us hanging out in the library, however we were quite surprised to find that there were quite a few 'real' diamonds just sitting on the table. And we're sure that they're 'real' because they make such a convincing plastic sound when hitting the table.
When we got talking, ConscienceSarah explained to us all that she has a very particular specification when choosing somewhere to live. One aspect was that certain places have what she likes to call 'fluffy bird air', which makes her feel choked up. I'm pretty sure that it is just a psychological thing.... "It's all in you head, Slickens."
Onto other strange conversations, Wicks and Sharah had quite a lengthy discussion about whether the former is the heir of Slytherin. Wicks claimed that she has always been the rightful heir and attempted to prove it by explaining to us how her basilisk watched over her when she was born and Sharah was her sworn enemy. In the end, there were a few minor plot holes, leading us to believe that Wicks is not the heir...or is she?
Following on from that conversation, ArwaChihuahua and Wicks showed us the play script that they found in their maths classroom. I think it must be noted that the first line of the photocopy was most capable of grabbing a reader's attention. It was Tom Stoppard's Arcadia. We were quite intrigued and decided to conduct a table read, casting most, if not all, of us as various characters. After being so utterly impressed by what we'd read we decided to continue reading, so Wicks speedily bought a copy online. We'll keep you updated when it arrives.
In the middle of the week, Sharah conducted a study on highlighters and how different people would order them. It proved to be highly interesting, with a large variety of results. This study will be published on this blog hopefully on Christmas Day. You won't want to miss it.
This week has also proved to be quite revolutionary for Master, in terms of style choices. She rocked up one day in a rather chunky scarf that dropped hairs everywhere and was initially uncomfortable with how exactly to wear it. Thankfully, the discovery phase was over and lead into the Tumnus phase. The Tumnus look is, of course, heavily inspired by the Narnia character of the same name; you literally take one end of the scarf and throw the other end around your shoulder, making sure not to scarf slap someone in the throwing process. There you have it. Simple, classic, statement.
As the weekend rolled around, we all went to ANT's for a screening of Elf, which was preceeded by some good ol' Mario Kart. Let me tell you now, Master was utterly terrible because she'd never played Mario Kart on the Wii. Thankfully, ConscienceSarah took her under her wing and guided her throughout the trials. Boy does Sharah have a competitive streak when it comes to Mario Kart, wow.
When we finally tore ourselves away from Mario Kart, we watched Elf. It was agreed pretty early on that any plot holes in the movie, such as the CGI, the Clausometer, etc. can be fully justified simply by the sheer amount of Christmas spirit. What a heart-warming tale it is.
To top it all off, we had plenty of pizza and ANT's fantastic reindeer cake pops, as pictured below. Delightful!
