oxford does not equal hogwarts
Nov 4, 2009I really like this song. Embedded via Hazel’s super crazy ninja HTML trick.
I guess you could say this week has been somewhat “truculent.” I think I really mean turbulent but WHATEVS. I’m loose, like a goose, a rebel goose, on the fly, like a dime, sprinkle some thyme, ooh that rhymed…
Last week one of my mom’s high school buddies was in town with her daughter, so they came to visit us. Both of them are ridic-awesome artists, and the mom made our gargoyle, Mehlicky, that I love. One fine evening she taught us how to make mosaics on an old acoustic guitar we had. While the glue stuff was drying my mom and I went treasure-hunting in the open walls of our basement (unfinished) and found a bunch of old stuff from LITERALLY the 19 zero’s (listed here).
Title: A girl in my class wants to go to Oxford because she thinks it will be like Hogwarts (Oxford = British = Harry Potter = Hogwarts is my understanding of her logic). So now we [bull] have testicle eaters, communists (my homework involved a Karl Marx quote, duh), and Hogwarts students in my class. By a stretch.
Well i’m currently studying at Oxford and i have to say, we *do* often refer to the locals as ‘muggles’. In jest, of course..
Fact is, though, the dining hall and a number of other parts of Hogwarts in the films are actually parts of Oxford colleges. The dining hall is Christ Church’s.
Who’s the artist/song title of your stream?
Oh how fun, I want an art lesson from Jackie! Photos of mosaic guitar, please!
I just saw a movie that takes place at Oxford (“An Education,” really good!) and kept thinking it looked like Hogwarts!
P.S. Every sentence here ends with an exclamation point. Kill me now.
What is that song? Already been asked but I figure if more people ask it you’ll be more likely to answer.
I’m guessing, is it The M’s? I looked at your list of basement wall stuff, it reads as if you found “Holy crap guys” in there as well, which leaves a lot for the imagination to ponder. We’ve uncovered mostly lots of 1908 newspaper from our walls, but also two meticulously built & gorgeous wasps nests (bounded by studs) & a neato junction box thing (where outside power eneterd the house) crammed full of nice flaky asbestos.
The song is:
Avi Buffalo – What’s In It For?
Great song. The lead singer and the other bandmates are all barely out of high school and already signed to Sub Pop. Which is a pretty good label for them since they sound not all too dissimilar to the jangle-pop of Oh, Inverted World.
It’s OWLvious that spencer has a great taste in music, Avi Buffalo is a CROWtally TALONted band! I’m going to see him play tonight!
I love that song. You really do have great taste in music.
Before I clicked it, I thought it would be “Oxford Comma” :)
Who gives a f*ck about an Oxford comma? woohoo-oo!
mmmm… Vampire Weekend…
Jess, that was my ringtone for a while :) It forced me to answer the phone before it gets to the F-bomb if I’m around easily offended people.
