A crazy crazy day

The play was a huge success, the croud went absolutely bonkers for Siri’s improvements to the play, I mean they where all running around screaming so you know we must have been doing something right. I even got to throw ashes at the actors, and I was TOLD to do it, so I can’t get me in any trouble. Now….it was such a spectacular finish to the show that we even did a Live burning of the stage! I’m sure Siri meant that to happen.

Today has been so full of surprises what with Me having to lock my team in a closet and Siri’s Trailer setting on fire, still not my fault by the way. Anyways I wish to thank everyone who took the time to come and see us today, you know we had the time of our lives and I hope all y’all out there had as much fun as we did.

Don’t worry about Miro, I’ll let her sleep in my trailer for the night, it really shouldn’t be that big a deal, after all a warm floor has to be better then the cold grass right. Actually that cold grass is looking pretty comfy right now, I think I’ll pull me up a patch of grass and go to sleep for the night, Goodnight Y’all, Thank you for coming to the SPECTACULAR ARTISTS STREET CIRCUS!

A Near Death Experience and A Play

I’m so confused about what happened earlier today. I had been so busy playing with Itsuna’s hamster that no one had told me that Cora’s performance had started! Odd, since Siri usually comes to get me a few minutes before the knife throwing act; I’m always Cora’s dummy. I rushed to the stage, thinking that everyone was waiting for me to show up. I was a few steps away from the stage when I noticed Miro strapped to the target board. The act was going on without me?! Why didn’t anyone tell me I was being replaced?! When I jumped on stage, a knife zoomed past me, cutting a bit of my hair off! I gasped in surprise along with the audience. She had nearly killed me! However, she did hit her intended target and the audience clapped with passion.

Later on, Cora told me that Siri had wanted her to use Miro as a dummy instead of me. I wonder why Siri did not tell me of this. Oh well, it’s all in the past now. The next performance is coming up soon. I am a little unprepared, since Siri suddenly suggested we change the whole appearance of the costumes, stage, and props–and just a few hours before the performance at that! I think the audience will love what we did, though.

Up next ~ Romeo & Juliet!

So, in case you missed us earlier, Cora posted some highlights from our most recent performance in the last blog post.  Check it out for a great review!   Please look forward to our upcoming play, “Romeo & Juliet” starring d2hiriyuu as Romeo and Haven as Juliet!

(To be honest though, we really don’t know the story that well and our costumes got burnt up in my trailer, so we’ll be improvising a bit).

The pre-show will be hosted by our team’s mascot, Ham-ham and his friends!  It looks like it should be a lot of fun.  In fact… it looks like they’re a little bit too good.  D8

Uh-oh, I don’t want the pre-show to steal the spotlight.  Can we even compete with that?  Guys, can we sneak some acrobatics and fireworks into show?  I know it won’t be a traditionL Romeo & Juliet play, but we’ve got to do something drastic!  Otherwise, we’ll be upstaged by a bunch of hamsters!

We’ll have to keep their interest somehow–maybe we can change the setting?  How about Romeo & Juliet underwater?  Or Romeo & Juliet in a post-apocalyptic world of doom and despair?  Quick, start bringing in the wreckage from my trailer and we’ll build a new stage and props!

Knife throwing Extrodinare!

So it turns out Siri was not Mad at me at all! I Didn’t put those rockets in her trailer that wasn’t me so….when all is said and done Siri wasn’t mad at me anymore….though she did shove some funny little blue pills down my throat. They tasted nasty but they didn’t seem to make me anymore loopy so that’s good. All is well for the day, and I got to eat TACO’s!

The audience seemed to love watching Siri’s trailer burn to the ground.  They seemed to think it was part of the show, I felt bad for Siri and offered to share my trailer with her but she simply put her hand over her face and groaned…..I wonder what she meant by that. It can’t have been bad right?

Later Siri mentioned having a new trailer, good for her…..only….Miro was sleeping in the grass behind mine….poor miro.

My knife throwing act went FABULOUSLY, well except for that knife I lost track of and still haven’t found…..I miss my knifey…. I got to use Miro as my dummy instead of haven as planned….Siri insisted this was the best choice….I wonder why. I was juggling and throwing and shocking the audience with my mastery of weaponry when haven came onto the stage unplanned and I nearly hit her……was a close miss……why would she do that…..Miro was my dummy….right?

Artists Circus

Today is the BIG day and we are all so excited, after all we put a lot of hard work into this circus and we all want so badly to see the thing succeed. Our time starts very shortly and we can’t wait, yet there is nerves all over the place. I walked through the dressing rooms to Siri gnawing on Miro’s leg, I am quite sure that Miro wasn’t to thrilled about this turn of events, but what can one do. D2 started to talk in some foreign language that I’m not sure he even knows. Haven and Itsuna where heavily into some conversation about slapping fish, what a weird conversation to have. Anglie was reciteing the pledge of alegence……backwards…….what a strange team I have.

To knock them into their senses I had the most amazing idea I grab a bucket and fill it with cold water, what fun to be had. I turn on the sprinklers and then start on top of that to throw cold water at my team. This DID bring them back to their senses but they where not exactly happy people. Instead they decided to turn their attention on me and chased me around the place. So I locked them in until they promised not to eat me. 

Fireworks display~

Ladies and gentlemen, I’m glad that you all enjoyed today’s festivities.  At first, I was quite upset with the way events turned out, but then I realized that being in pain is funny to most people.  As such, I’m glad that I was able to provide some quality entertainment.

I see that many people did actually bring lawn chairs outside my trailer and watched everything I own burn to the ground.  Although I’m happy you were having fun, please call the fire department if artist property is on fire in the future.  The artist members comically spilling buckets of water during the show was NOT part of the planned comedy sketch.

I certainly realize the irony in this situation.  The young woman whose hat we set on fire during our morning performance was laughing hysterically the entire time.

However, we are moving forward from this moment and are looking forward to the festivities continuing!  Please look forward to our world famous knife-throwing act (don’t worry, Cora has taken her pills so she will be able to handle the weapons appropriately).  This will be followed by Itsuna’s contortion act, which quite frankly, simply cannot go wrong.

In the meantime, I am happy to announce (for those of you who were concerned) that I will be moving into Miro’s trailer for the remainder of the event.  Miro will be moving into the streets.

Tacos and Big surprises!!??

Missing shark rockets, missing shark rockets….where could they have gone. My team is slowly but surely looking for the missing pieces of the  show. They intensely are blaming me for the problems of this morning, all of them are mad at me…..All I can say is Phewy!  After all they where chasing me.

Anyways because they blame me for this mornings problems they are currently blaming me for the current problems. Siri also threatened me with no lunch  if we don’t find our precious shark rockets. I didn’t take them…and I’m still taking the blame. I think it was Miro, she looks a bit dodgy to me, I dunno if I  should trust her.

I really wanted today’s lunch too we where gonna make Taco’s. I’ll keep looking for the missing rockets so we can set them off straight away. It is a lovely bit of fireworks….then we can eat Taco’s to our fill.

Siri went to go to her trailer….why doesn’t she have to look for the rockets.

Wait WHAT WAS THAT! THEY FOUND THEM AND DIDN’T TELL ME! Uh oh…..siri doesn’t look happy, I wonder why that is…..whatever it is…I didn’t do it……maybe she found the singed curtains….that’s probably it…..I’m in deep dodo…..Phewy.

Excited for surprise fireworks? :D

So, I’m sure everyone reading this blog actually wants to know a little bit about what’s going on with our circus today.  Er.. we actually did have a performance earlier today–sorry, with all the commotion this morning, we forgot to mention it.    The good news is that everything mostly went as planned.  Unfortunately, our shark rockets were missing so we had to change our grand finale.

I know this was a great disappointment to many people, as our shark rocket finale is one of our most popular segments.  However, I am pleased to announce that when our shark rockets are found, I will order them to be set off at once!  In addition, I am formally inviting everyone to attend the shark rocket display–don’t hesitate to bring your lawn chairs and laugh at our accompanying comedy sketch.  And remember, this show will go off without warning at any time and any place, so keep your eyes peeled for this fantastic surprise!

I would also sincerely like to apologize to the young lady whose hat we set on fire today.  It was not intentional.

Now that our first show of the day is complete, I’d like to ask our fabulous performers to take a rest.  I’m personally going to go back to my trailer to relax for a bit.  Oh, and make sure Cora gets her pills again–we don’t want a rehash of this morning!

My head was in a bubble; Ohboi we got in trouble.

head in a bubble

 

Today of all days, my head was in a bubble! I lost my TNT, oh my, such trouble! I’ve even been stuck on rhymes since this whole thing started! My inner voice just won’t stop it!

I was thinking to myself, such in deep thought. All my other teammates were goofing off. Just don’t tip of the boss! I was mentally counting my fireworks when all of a sudden, something was chewing my leg. It was Siri!

“Siri, what in heaven bristles are you doing!?” I asked. The bubble around my head popped. “shhh uhhdff snnipp!” She said. I didn’t quite catch that, I couldn’t indeed. I was more occupied with my TNT. I realized too late that I’ve lost head count! I grasped a bottle rocket and was about to light Siri’s butt on fire when a scene from a movie, Emperor’s New Groove, popped into my head.

[Kronk’s Shoulder Angel and Devil debate saving Kuzco]
Kronk’s Shoulder Devil: Listen up, big guy. I got three good reasons why you should just walk away. Number one. Look at that guy! He’s got that sissy stringy music thing.
Kronk’s Shoulder Angel: We’ve been through this. It’s a harp, and you know it.
Kronk’s Shoulder Devil: Oh, right. That’s a harp, and that’s a dress.
Kronk’s Shoulder Angel: Robe!
Kronk’s Shoulder Devil: Reason number two. Look what I can do. Ha-ha, ha!
[does one-armed handstand]
Kronk: But what does that have to do with anything?
Kronk’s Shoulder Angel: No, no. He’s got a point.
Kronk: Listen, you guys. You’re sort of confusing me, so, uh, begone… or, uh, y’know, however I get rid of you guys.
Kronk’s Shoulder Devil, Kronk’s Shoulder Angel: That’ll work.
[Angel and devil disappear]

Just when I was about to rocket Siri to the moon, Cora came in! She dashed cold water everywhere! I screeched and zoomed! We all chased after her like loons! We had rubber hammers, bubble weights, pitch forks and paper plates. We were about to have the upper hand when…she locked us in a room!

Everything was touch and go from there… there was no light, the room was tight. And hands touched places they shouldn’t be touching! We roared and raged! We jumbled the door but to no avail…we were stuck and locked up like a cage.

Then something furry crept up my pant leg. I froze in the instant! Is that someones limb? Is it a snake? No…it’s too small for a snake. Is it a spider?! SPIDER?!

 I started panicking, but not saying a word. What if you told a small room of people there was a spider in the room? Think of the consequences! THINK! So, I remained silent and it crawled and crawled. My throat began to quench, I was about to scream! Then a little furry head popped out of the lip of my collar and ….

“SQUEAK!”

 It was artist ham-ham! I went bug eyed and fainted. I was only out for a few secs! Gladly no one noticed, they were still busy with the present. We were released later on, and I returned Artist ham-ham to Itsuna and Haven. I even got my revenge on Siri for earlier, I planted cherry bombs and shark rockets in her trailer. Don’t you tell her! Don’t you dare!

~ Sincerely, Miro.

New Performers!?

So After locking my team into a room I went about my business as usual, humming along to myself I realized that I would now have to do the show ALL BY MYSELF. After all my team was in no fit mood to do it, they where all heavily psycho. It was then that I begun to try and work on all the team’s skits. I knew I was in for a long day, and I only had TWO HOURS.

First I desided to try a little fire throwing. So I picked up the tools that haven normally uses and tried my hardest to copy her routine…..only….it didn’t quite work out the way I had planned it and I almost set the curtains on fire, and by almost I mean actually, but they got put out right away so its all good. I desided this act would simply just have to go, as I couldn’t possibly throw fire for people if it was going to hurt them.

Next I decided to try Itsuna’s contortion act, but realized that my feet just simply don’t reach over my head like that, and I almost knocked over the kitchen table when I fell over, I caught it in time though,  even if my head is a little sore from the catching. I think this act had to go too.

I kept practicing for another hour when I realized that all the acts but mine where gone…..I would have to hire some performers and fast. I started to look around the house  for some performers to hire when I suddenly heard some commotion from behind a locked door. I should find a key and hire them!

I have a key around my neck….I wonder what that’s for…..Hey it fits! Do you guys want to work in my circus? I seem to have lost my team…..you don’t look very happy…..
