I'll be back to your shore before you know it I'm gone

Jun 27, 2006 01:09

My God, it's fucking Biblical outside. Our basement is flooding; our backyard is flooding; I have to actually wade to get the mail and I keep getting these urges to gather two of every kind of animal and set sail for the Grey Havens. Or some sort of mixed-up quest, anyway. So, right, radio silence means a tree has hit our house or something. Anyway ( Read more... )

...w00t.

And honestly, your opinions are quite fun to read. *poke* Stop doubting yourself so much! *pokepoke*

Sadly, the only homoerotic waterfowl I can offer back to you is the ballet dancer who was "turning on the spit" (read: "swinging about and basically horizontal pole-dancing) during one segment of Carmina Burana... and he was not actually supposed to be a swan, but a man (wearing nothing but full-body tights, and they weren't hiding much) complaining about being a swan. A swan horizontally pole-dancing turning on a spit.

...because the gods put him there.

...I know it's supposed to be one huge lament, but in many ways it's also one of the funniest parts of the whole pseudo-opera.

My opinions vary wildly, and thus I never quite dare to trust them. *hug*

Oh, I take any sort of homoerotic waterfowl. Gay ducks, queer swans, lesbian flamingos, homosexual penguins, uh... Flaming herons? Out and proud albatrosses? Albatrossi? In any case! The Carmina Burana thing sounds cool and I'll have to look into it.

Swan on a spit. That's some nice alliteration there. Hell, the tragic things are often the funniest! It just depends on whose perspective it's from.

I have two enormous favors to ask you. You are well within your right to turn either of them down, but I hope you will hear me out when I find you on IM (after the goddamn storm stops knocking out our signal) and beg.

It is the choreography for the production of Carmina Burana performed by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (and Chorus!) as well as the Atlanta Ballet. Beautiful production - I'm lucky enough to say that I got to see it my senior year of high school instead of going to prom. I missed their production this last year, but if I'm still in the area for a few years, maybe I'll get a chance to see it next time it comes around...

I'll be on tonight, so long as I am not entirely crazy from things or, you know, been kdinapped by space pirates or some such. Oh, those space pirates. They so crazy.

I skipped my junior prom for a Smashing Pumpkins rock concert!

If the storms hold off and we have a internet connection, I'll hop on. Otherwise, I'll just email you. One of the things, I just want your opinion and/or info on some music that I got off you; the other has to do with your 1337 librarian skills.

Heh, yeah, I remember you telling me about that one. Never did get to prom... easy enough to say I didn't miss much.

You're more than welcome to go ahead and email me if you want. I'm at the library right now, after all...

Sent! Yeah, that rock concert's a long story... but it was worth it. Much better than the dance.
