Omens.

So, waaaaaay back when I was a wee little mite, I remember going up to NYC on one of those day trip thingies. I think we saw a musical or something, and stopped by this Irish restaurant on the way back, and I think that the owner was hitting on my mom or something, but he was quite nice, giving her free glasses of wine and I got a free replica of the Statue of Liberty. 'twas a nice gesture and all. But due to slightly excessive amounts of fiddling with it (you know me- I'm the type of person to toss Miss Liberty up in the air randomly), her torch broke off. Well, whatever. A few years later, I think I messed with it again, and this time the whole darn arm that formerly held the torch popped off. Ooops. And now, I was looking at the statue again, put it aside, did something else, sat on my bed, heard a "crack," and discovered that's where I had stuck the Statue. This time, Lady Liberty has come unhinged from her base completely- the pedestal & the statue (sans arm) are now two parts. Including the torch, which I still have lying around, that's three parts.

Everybody knows that the Statue of Liberty is set to re-open to the public on July 4th, right? Just checking.

Speakin' of which, another episode of Historical Filth is out. Doesn't quite measure up to the standards of the previous ones, but whatever, it's still fine stuff. http://apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=117543 for the interested.
