3. more! more! :devil:
 
- Coffee is the kickstart that brings me to life in the morning.

-I truly believe that the 'W' Republicans will attempt to steal the election in November (again) and feel no remorse because the believe they are initiating Christ's Kingdom on Earth and that they can lie, cheat, steal, torture, and kill without sin or blame if they do it with that goal in mind under the doctrine of Christian Reconstruction a.k.a. Dominionism.

-I believe in my heart of hearts that we will see civil upheaval and riots after the next election that will make Watts '68 and L.A. '92 look like a tea social if they get away with it. We will see jackboots and lexan shields and waterhoses and shotguns firing beanbags and tear gas turned on the populace and that if we fail to overcome them, we will be condemmed to a Christian Taliban State.

1. I love Beethoven, Lord Byron, Oscar Wilde, Maria Callas and Glenn Gould as if I had known them in real life.

Wonderful choices, Perdita.
Ditto.
Currently enthralled watching a TV programme on Callas. Using the story of Tosca to run alongside her private life. The voice, oh god, the voice. *shivering *

The final note of Tosca. Incredible.

Lovely day.

1. I spent a half hour or so re reading the archive of Ann Coulter's articles.

2. I spent another half hour watching Mark Fiore Flash media.

3. I finished with an uncertain amount of time laughing my ass off at the impiety of Landoverbaptist.

I have decided I must be terminally weird.

weird is so subjective..
slightly off kilter but your beauty balances everything out..

1. spent some time on my superstition story.. happier about it but not thrilled yet.. *I need some more COW bell*

2. :shudder: watched some happy tree friends .. ohmigod.. TOO funny

3. im cringing over the fact that i now have to drive an hour to the airport to pick up my sisters husband. :cringe: chinese water torture sounds pretty good to me..
 
  1. I can, and often do, recite by rote Poe's The Raven in a manner similar to James Earl Jones.
  2. While Kubrick is my favorite film director, considering his entire body of work, my favorite film is Woody Allen's Manhattan.
  3. My acoustic guitar is detuned a whole step to DGCFAD to accommodate my vocal range and penchant for bending the strings.
    [/list=1]
 
Quilty, you won me over with the voice, I adore baritones and esp. JEJ; my fave voice is a Russian bass. But, though I appreciate Manhattan (the film and city) I don't really admire Allen as a director or artist. Kubrick, yes. Then you use one of my fave words, penchant, and only hope you pronounce it correctly. ;)

Time for a new non sequitieur (sp) 1 2 3 of stuff that you people don't know about me:

1. I know every line and every song from Alan Parker's Busgy Malone. Both the original and the Swedish translation.

2. I have had withdrawal symptoms from sugar addiction for ten years (drank way too much Coke as a kid).

3. I once poked Franka Poente (german actress) in the ass with a microphone stand. By accident, I might add.

  1. Woody Allen is my brilliant nebbishy existentialist god, oxymoronically speaking. Sun-yi Previn notwithstanding, I have no qualms of conscience about distinguishing the artist from the man -- ala Roman Polanski.
  2. While I'm not Russian, I do have enough basso/baritone profundity in my speaking voice to have engendered barbs of jealousy in my former English professor whenever I was called upon to give, what I was told were, panty-dampening recitations to an otherwise all female intro to Shakespeare class. (which I took merely for shits and giggles. I was not an English major)
  3. As I am not nearly as literate or educated as I imagine you to be, I'm not sure if my pronunciation of penchant is by the book of arithmetic, so to speak. I pronounce the ch of chant like the ch of champagne and I place a slight stress on the first syllable.
    [/list=1]

    Bartleby.com's pronunciation differs from mine, with the ch pronounced as in champ and the second syllable much more truncated.
    My pronunciation, apparently incorrect, is more like the French word pencher.
 
Evening all.

Lovely day today.

Must get some more beer in tomorrow.

Yo Pop baby, missed you.....kisses.

It is lovely.

I'm have the first of many beers tonight.
 
Quilty, I can separate the man from the artist well enough, otherwise I would not be a Wagnerite, but I just find Woody off-putting. I love his earlier films, e.g., Bananas and Love and Death. I do get his humour though.

Nicolai Ghiurov, my fave basso, died recently. If you can, listen to his "Gremin's aria" from Eugene Onegin.

I was an English major, but am mostly self-educated and one of the oldest (57) members here so I've just been able to read more.

Your pronunciation is correct, Bartleby's is wrong (or giving the American version). Case closed.
