super fun happy slide!

Q: What do you call a sheep with no legs?
A: A cloud.

I know jokes in those Christmas bon-bon things are usually lame, but that has to be the worst joke ever. I don't even know why it's supposed to be funny! And yet every year, millions of people spend money on these glorified wrapped up toilet paper rolls (yeah, I saw Play School, I know how they make it!) all for crappy paper hats, lame jokes, and nail clippers!

But yeah, I haven't posted for a while - been busying eating, charading, wrapping, crapping (craps the gambling game, not the other one) darting, and verbifying everything. Plus the whole christmas thing, but that excuse is like 2000 years old anyway. Anywhoo, I'm staying at my Aunt's place in Romsey, which is like an hour out of London - we were kinda even lucky to be here, since there were a number of ridiculous delays here, and some planes got stuck at Heathrow airport because of the fog. So since we've been so far away from London, unfortunately we haven't been able to do any celebrity spotting, so alas, nothing to top the Donald and Sean Penn in New York. We did manage to go to London for a day, which is a pretty crazy idea around this time of the year, since it was pretty busy. We didn't do the touristy stuff though since we did it last time, so it was mainly for my brother to check out some of the art and design museums.

Sounds meh, right? Well, that's what I was thinking, until I saw the Super fun happy slide(s) in the Tate Modern Museum! They were huge - the longest one was like 58 metres and starts on the 5th level of the building all the way to the first floor.To play use the slide though, you have to get tickets to use it. I tried to get tickets to the biggest slide, but the earliest tickets I could get for a chance on that slide was like four hours later. I didn't think I could really find a way to entertain myself in an art museum for four hours and sacrifice a day in London to justify going on a big slide. Fortunately, when we were heading off to see some art stuff, a guy offered me his tickets for one of the slides, since he couldn't be bothered waiting.



Despite the coolness of slides, in particular super fun happy ones, I'm kinda glad they're not a standard means of transport around buildings. I don't think I'm ready to be regularly seen giggling giddily like a little girl in public.
