Sonata for Solo Sabre

I'm currently taking a conducting class (yet another joy of being a music major).  On the first day of class, the professor gave us an almighty lecture on the quality and balance of batons.  Having the twisted mind that I do, the first thing that came to mind where the balance of pointy handheld objects was concerned was swords, of course.  Naturally, it is now my duty to try to figure out a scenario where I'd actually have an excuse to bring a sword to class in this manner. 

It's Full of Cats

At least this follows the tradition of cats insisting on being where they're not supposed to be. 

On the other hand, anything called the "Milky Way" seems like a natural hangout for cats. 
At least, MGM thought so.

Note:  Originally, I mistakenly attributed the short to Disney, thinking it was one of the Silly Symphonies.  Whoops.  And this is why writing posts at two in the morning is a really bad idea. 

Check the Warranty

 

When the cartoon characters are aware that they're in a comic strip, we're in trouble.  Looks like we need to start paying fourth wall insurance. 

Upon Reflection...

...Unless you enjoy freaking out other people by showing them that you don't have a reflection, in which case a house of mirrors could be a lot of fun. 

Provided, of course, that said people don't also have stakes on hand.  That wouldn't be nearly as fun. 

Happy September!

Another unicorn!  Yay!  Given the birthstone and flowers, September apparently means lots of blue.  Of course, for many people it means back-to-school blues, but let's stay positive here.
