I think I'm FINALLY getting the required calluses on my left fingertips for playing guitar--the hand still tends to spaz out when seeking chords, but at least I can press down when I finally find 'em without wincing.
I was hoping to dazzle the Partner with a Richard Thompson or Leadbelly song when I see her in NYC next month, but I think I might...

Yeah I hear that alot of people love Stendhal in general and especially Red and Black. But I just can't get into it. Its feels like wading through mud sometimes. But what can you do? Maybe tis an aquired taste. Or one I'll develop with age...or maybe I'm missing its draw altogether, who knows.

I used to love it when I got viola callouses. And the chin rest mark ("viola hickey"). Yay!
vote, please.

Here here! No one is forcing anyone to get married so they really shouldn't care. I voted! It was my first time!

I vote everytime there are elections!
(and unfortunately, the guys I vote for are never elected)

man, I wish I'd inherit a piano. Not that I have a place for one but, anyway. (Cat! loves instruments)
Teehee, yes, indeed the founding fathers were not random horny internet guys. Of course, who's to say they would not have been had they had internet access?

Keep it!
It may be extremely cumbersome but inheritence..uh...items...are usually things that you decide you want later.

Hello, fellow connoisseur.
Thanks for asking news of the exhibition....
The exhibition was somewhat drowned in a flood of suchlike events, 'cause october there is la Fte du Livre (the Books Festival) allover the country ( soon to be followed by Le mois de la Photo.... we just adore national events), and exhibitions of books illustrator's works were a dime a dozen. Bah! Will do another this Spring.
I did the same constatations you did: I spent most of my life whitout... etc.... and now I feel like...
And my experience also told me that if I ask, say, 7 (or 8) different people, at least one of them might know what to do, & will be able to explain it in baby language.
I have also become addicted to SG, and if "cut-off", I soon miss all of its content.
Could you imagine I even miss ratsonjulia's journal when I'm away from my computer for some days?
Clearly, this is part of the alien conspiracy.

back to work tonight.
for a good chunk of last week I found myself in the Infirmary Cage, which is a rotten place to work if you smoke (I do) but not so bad if one has had the foresight to secrete a good book or two on one's person or in ones lunchbox.

Do you mean they allow you in everyday WITHOUT a complete body searching?
How uncautious!

That's my favorite part, rewind my life on.
When my world got dark, and you turned my life on.
I watched it for hours again and again in my head.
I did.
I see I was down on you, more than I needed to be.
I'd say I'm sorry but then you'd think I'm lyin'
Chorus:
Maria, shut up and kiss me.

THANKS FOR THE BIRTHDAY WISH!
I should never EVER try to write anything while on-line.
not because what I usually write is insipid & stupid, but because it seems more often than not a wrong keystroke or a server fuck-up will wipe it out without so much a satisfying little wisp of smoke.
ah well.

some quotes that i came across the other day while trying to hunt down the line in Baron Munchhausen about the Empress of Russia--couldn't find it...I'll just have to find me another copy of the movie...it seems like a house just isn't a home without a little Munchhausen around...)

Nostradamus = wise guy.
And for a quote that just kinda popped into my head? Hard to find one rivaling with those above!
Maybe :
"Idiots- those who think differently than us"
- Gustave Flaubert
