Oh No! Carnival!

It's fast approaching, Ladies and Gentlemen--- called the "cool days (tolle Tage)" or, alternately, "the days where people drink for 10 hours at a time while standing in the freezing cold wearing flimsy costumes to get into a bar that is 100 degrees".

KARNEVAL!




I know ya'll don't know this most famous of Cologne Carnival songs, but just watch a few seconds into it to see the very typical Cologne hairstyle and mustache. Look familiar?

Also, the song is in Kölsch, not German. Jeremy and I know all the words to the chorus, but that is the extent of our Kölsch, besides "Kölle Alaaf" ("Köln Allein" or "Only Cologne" aka "Cologne is the Best!").

We are currently in costume preparation mode. For the Science Carnival Party, Jeremy's lab will be dressing like Spartans (from the 300 movie. Ick. I found that movie resoundingly horrible), and I will go as Artemis, goddess of the hunt.


Sheet costume, yay!

Now will you wear your jammies underneath your costume or your coat over since it will be cold? Remember Halloween in Ohio? Anyway the costume looks good. Will we get to see Jer's costume? I lasted 1 min. 14 secs. on the video.

Well, for this little number, I will change at Jeremy's lab. And I will wear shoes to the party!

I am totally wearing clothes underneath and on top of all of my costumes. Being cold is a drag.

Congrats-- 1 min 14 secs is a lot of Kölsch to hear!
