to go or not to go to the Closing Party....

[msfledermaus]

My work, (rhymes with "Stalker" affectionately called by me "Dante's Minimalist Inferno") is having a huge Closing Party since they'll be shutting down the galleries for a year. Everybody's been asking me if I'm going. I've been kind of back-and-forthing about it for a fistful of reasons...

But the funniest reason is, I've seen "Relic" and all kinds of monster movies where you go to the big important party and all Hell breaks loose and the Bug-Eyed-Monster, Insane Scientist, Chainsaw-Wielding Maniac or Horde of Angry Ninjas descend and turn the place into chop suey...and eat all the hors d'ouvres...Of course being an art museum, this means some mad inventor somewhere will be sculpting something white and square and his insane brother will accidentally spill Reanimator Fluid (tm) all over the piece, causing it to grow legs and huge teeth and stomp out into the city looking to free it's square white bretheren...

And of course I'll have my hair up and heels suitable for stumbling while being chased by the Minimalist Hell-Beast. Maybe I can save myself by shoving my boss in front of me:) Hey, that's a reason for going right there....

Heh...maybe I should go and write you all a short story, after I stagger home at 5 am and clean off all the gore and bits of parsley.
I like appetizers, and I'm not letting them go without a fight, ninjas or no.

Meanwhile, back on the ranch, it's Wednesday....*siiiigh*

They're closing for a year? Why?

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

Renovations. We're building this huge expensive structure , called in Swiss architects, the works. It's why I moved to the other building with almost everyone else...it should reopen in May or June of next year.

I'll be going. Will you still be working throughout the year? What happens to all the security guards?

Love,
A.

Have you ever seen Battle Chess? When the rooks move, they turn from stone turrets into stone monsters, not unlike the Thing from the Fantastic Four comics. Many other amusing things happen in the game, but sadly your post doesn't relate to them. ;~)

I like Battle Chess!!! It's really fun to play!!!

tell you what..someone could be playing Battle chess, and spill Reaminator fluid (tm) all over the screen, and the chessmen can come alive and wreak havok too...
the castling!!! the horrible castling!!! *gibber*

I like the queens' backsides wiggling, but it feels definitely pervy getting a bit of a thrill from such low-resolution buttocks...

yep, I remember that all right. I think I need to get a copy of battlechess just to see all the weirdness again.
