The Nightmare Before Christmas - Class Assignment

Background Music: Vitamin String Quartet performs 'This is Halloween'

"If you could meet any famous person, dead or alive, who would it be, and why?"

Readers, Nikola Tesla. Nikola Tesla, readers.

Nikola Tesla is the guy who invented the alternating current (aka electricity, the thing that powers your microwaves so you can have Hot Pockets and instant coffee for breakfast every morning). The reason I'd like to meet him: he's my favorite scientist of all time. Cheated out of a fortune by Thomas Edison, he continues to be one of the most famous scientists to date. (And yes, he is the guy who invented the Tesla Coil.)

Not to mention he's extremely aesthetically pleasing, but that's for another post. //nervous laughter;

Class assignment: Who's your favourite superhero?

To be honest... he is.

He was the first thing I honestly recognised as a hero. A flawed hero, yes, but a hero nonetheless.

Here, have Timon dress in drag and do the hula.

Today's assignment - A place you would like to visit or live

Personally, I'd love to live in Aspendell, CA.

It's in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, and one of the reasons I'd love to live there is because of Lake Sabrina, which isn't too far from the small village itself. It's incredibly scenic, and the California Department of Fish and Game stocks the lake and intake regularly. (Good fishing spot, to be sure.)

History of Ireland

Ireland's capital is the city of Dublin, the most populous city of Ireland. One other notable location is the city of Waterford, chosen because it is the oldest and the fifth most populous city of Ireland.
