"The Kingsword Will Stand in its Scabbard of Granite..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

As long as I have The May Queen on the computer, does anyone want me to burn it for her? Is the second Arthuriana CD by Heather Dale. It's--scarier, and sadder, than Trial of Lancelot. I have trouble listening to it because it's so sad. But if anyone would like a copy--

I stoled a meme from sparklychibi. Drop me a comment and I will give you 3 interests on your list, and 3 of your icons, for you to explain.

being a silhouette. Because there was a song by the Postal Service that little_lady_d gave me back when I was really sick, called We Will Become Silhouettes, and it--reassured me intensely, and made me feel I had something to be beautiful with.

les contes d'hoffmanm. Is shiny opera about miserable poet who tells about his three lost loves, and it turns out they're all the same woman, they're his Muse, and then his girlfriend dumps him. I used to listen to it constantly.

red balloons. There is nothing more wonderful than red balloons. I will stand by this to the end.


This icon is from Marcia Williams' Hamlet; is from the scene where he's talking to Ophelia. 'I loved you' 'indeed my lord, you made me believe it' 'you should not have believed; I loved you not' 'I was the more deceived'.


This is my Rilly Annoyed icon. It's a quote from Bloom County, Bloom County being an amazing, amazing comic strip that appeared (i think) in the eighties, and starred A Boy and His Penguin, except not.


This says, in Latin, 'I am not lost', and it is my icon for when I've just done something really dumb, or when I'm Latin geeking. My keywords for it say 'Erro Ero', which is sloppy and horrible Latin pun that doesn't actually work grammatically, since it literally reads 'I am lost I am'. Um. Getting much too involved, shall move on now.

Comment if you want to do it!

eee, Hoffmann. (which besides being shiny is totally cracky and tragic.) ^_____^ also could you upload the CD if it wouldn't be too much trouble? I liked the other one.

(*comments*)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Hoffmann is all things awesome. ^___^ And yes, definitely. I wasn't sure whether I should because people were having trouble with the files.

not-modern art, steeleye span, georges bizet

[reconditarmonia.livejournal.com]

I don't like the kind of art where people splatter paint on canvas and say it represents the struggle of mankind, or something. It's too easy, even I could do that and make loads of money. I think it's rubbish, rather.

Steeleye Span is a folk-rock band I like. Want me to upload some music? Their older stuff particularly is great, the harmonies are very bare and depressing. (I have to try listening to them while reading Lear - it would be enlightening. There are songs of theirs I think about in the same way as about Lear.)

Bizet composed Carmen. Enough said, really. :D Though I also like his Arlesienne suite. I haven't heard anything else by him.

Sof pasuk is a trope mark that one uses when chanting the Torah. It's become my -__- icon, a little, for when I don't want to say much. (it means the end of a verse.) Also for total randomness. I think my Hebrew school class was the sof pasuk team, though I may be misremembering - we might have been the katon.

The second's a random picture I found somewhere - it's pretty and music is my life, largely.

The third is from around the World Cup last summer. There were lists online of English-Italian mistranslations, supposedly by the footballer Totti; one of them was "c'ho le gambe che mi fanno giacomo giacomo". It means "my legs are shaking" but literally translates to "my legs are doing James James". Another icon for silly things, and for chorus rants sometimes as my teacher is Mr James. I'm actually working on fixing up the icon, putting shadows on the letters so it looks better.

This seemed fun until I realised that I don't have any interests and my icons are all just photographs. :D ohoho... ought to remedy that sometime.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Awwww...! Okay, yes, remedy it so I can GET YOU.

I'll do it! Even though my icons are all boring and i'm not sure if my interests are interesting.

You are aided by my lack of braining. :D

Les contes d'Hoffmann = E. T. A. Hoffmann? :D Mmm, German Romantics.

Um. My icons and interests are all incredibly self-explanatory.

Go on then, this was fun last time I did it... (although you have to skip the interests part because I'm still too list-allergic to have put one up)

[petronelle.livejournal.com]

I approve of your ambisexual walnut icon immensely.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Thank you. ^____^
