Train Enthusiasts do not use The Internet

Oh Yeah, I went there. Things are about to get real up in this blog.

Let's all get in the Way Back Machine and go all the way to the beginning. All the way to this morning.

I've been thinking about the clock from a few posts back. I've been thinking of how bad I want it, but also been thinking that I can not even imagine a scenario in which I would pay $100 for a clock. So as a crafty lady, decided I would try to make it. Clocks are easy to get, I can pain that background, the hardest part would be finding the figurines. Little did I know how hard it would be to find those ridiculous figures! Thanks to my dad, I know they are N or HO Scale, meaning ridiculously small.

For the past few hours I have been googling any and all phrases I can think of to describe these little dancers. There is nothing. Even the basic websites,which are few, have nothing. This leads me to my theory: Train enthusiasts do not use the internet. Ebay is the only thing that has shown any results, yet not any that I need.

Here's my thought process: Train enthusiasts are, for the most part, old. Old people tend to shy away from internet, some old farts even thinking "Bah, that internet. It won't stick. Now let me eat my oatmeal." Therefore, train enthusiasts do not use the internet.

Next move is to actually go to a train hobby store. Yikes. I'm afraid to go in. I'm not sure they even allow people under the age of 50 in those places. I'm really not sure if they allow the female species in there.

All I want is a freaking clock.

Casting call

Because I don't have enough things in my life to ignore, I've decided to start a podcast. It's not going to be anything fancy, just something like a mix tape. It's taking me a while to get it together because my music is on 2 different computers. Hopefully I can sell my saxophone soon and and buy a computer. That way I can get all my music together and really pump this stuff out. Fingers crossed, people. Fingers crossed.

Cats and Dogs

Honestly, is there anything more beautiful than a proper down pour? Let me answer that: No. I think I shall never see a poem as lovely as weather that is dark, cold, and rainy. It's absolutely wonderful.





It feels like the clouds are giving you a hug. It makes everything so clean and so fresh. I'd take cold, dark, and wet, anytime over hot, bright, and bone-dry.

Animal love

I haven't had much to write about lately, but to show I haven't forgotten about this blog I decided to a photo post. Here are pictures of my favorite animals.

It's Moose O'Clock

I saw this on Uncommon Goods and it took my breath away.

Toni is all growed up

Today I went wedding dress shopping with Toni. She tried on a bunch of dresses, but eventually went with one she had seen earlier. Glad I could help! :)

Here is a picture of her dress:

Best of luck with the rest, Ton-Ton.
