When I learned guitar, I used to play this song - not that well or anything, but I managed to do it. It was a favorite of the teacher's.
Those guitar strings really cause fingertips to become calloused.



(I played the Godfather theme on a flute when I was a kid. Might explain my fascination with Don Corleone :)

I was going to post another song, but the Muppets won paws down - or whatever their appendages are called - because of their energetic performance.

I like this Christmas song by Queen, and Freddie's banana hat.




herumtreiber: (blondie!Draco)
I enjoy listening to this Christmas song, and I like this version because the lead singer looks a lot like Draco.

 I like this commercial because of the song and the video with the lights. I just love Christmas lights decorating houses and trees :)

This is one of my favorite Christmas songs. I've heard it since I was little but didn't know its name very well. However, it's very similar to the title of one of John le Carré's books, so that helped to find out this video :)

I like this version because it features David Bowie, singing together with Bing Crosby.

Since today is the anniversary of Beethoven's baptism on 17 December 1770, I was tempted to post a version of the Ninth which is considered to be one of the greatest: Furtwängler in Zürich in 1954 - which I researched when I wrote a chapter of Accompanied sonata.

I changed my mind, though, and decided to post the Muppets playing the Ninth :)

Your result for The Remarkably Thorough Harry Potter Character Test...

Molly Weasley

NOT MY DAUGHTER , YOU BITCH!”

You are Molly Weasley, mother of seven children and wife of Arthur Weasley. As the caretaker of so many children, Molly is headstrong, defensive, and caring. She is fiercely loyal to her family and friends, always attending to others’ needs before her own. She can get a little hotheaded at times, especially when somebody breaks her rules. Otherwise, she is practically a saint. You are similar to Molly in the sense that both of you are devoted to your loved ones more than anything else. It is likely that you have your own set of morals and that you have a very clear definition of what is right and what is wrong. People who do not share your views will often get the cold shoulder, but you try your best not to judge too much. As long as you are treated with respect, you welcome new friends into your life with open arms. The one thing that breaks you is stress; it can sometimes turn you into a completely different person. You always realize your mistakes, though, and apologize for any rudeness displayed. No one would ever call you thoughtless or discourteous, and they'd be wrong if they did! On top of being kind-hearted, you are extremely protective, often sticking up for your loved ones more than they even want you to. They may never tell you how much they value you, but you should know that your friendship is truly irreplaceable.

In short, you are more:

Cautious than impulsive
Mature than immature
Modest than arrogant
Normal than weird
Extroverted than introverted

Your polar opposite is Mundungus Fletcher

Here is a succinct and pictorial review of Breaking Dawn part 2 which contains spoilers. Warning for Bellas... and all those who love her are advised not to open this.






Bella wins the hearts of the viewers by protecting Bambi


Bambi, why didn't you kick her up the... ?


Bella loves the letter 'e' and goes berserk when people don't use it.
Dearest Bella: I am not amused. At all. It would seem great white sharks, wendigos and zombies are not enough for you, so prepare yourself.

Spoilers for the deleted final scene: * Benjamin shows up at the meadow. Enraged at Bella, he causes a chasm in the earth into which the pointy, whey-faced wisp of a trampire falls screaming to her fiery death. Edward seeks succor in Jake. Renesmee goes to Scotland in search of her real father, the Loch Ness monster (turns out the Monster was taking his summer vacation at a resort off the coast of Brazil, where he met Bella. One thing led to another and that is why Bella got so mad at Jacob; unwittingly, the wolf stumbled upon the truth) Note: The imprint fails when it deals with monsters' daughters (by monster, I don't mean Scottish Nessie)*

How did you get into 3? I'd heard a lot of Simon and Garfunkel, and I liked the songs; this was reinforced by listening to My little town and Graceland. Paul Simon works magic with his lyrics.

There's a scene I love in Umberto Eco's Foucault's pendulum: the Milanese editor, Jacopo Belbo, and his friend Casaubon are weaving plots from wacky manuscripts. They decide to feed random lines into an archaic word processor, print the results and pour over them. They are struck by the repetitions and patterns, eventually leading to their concocting even weirder plots.

When I write haikus, sometimes they come easy. Most of the time, though, I have to fiddle with them: search new words, take care of the number of syllables, adjust the imagery and so on. I write them on notepad, and sometimes I don't erase the lines. At times I have trouble deciding which version to post.

So here are some haikus in raw form.

Warning for 2 suggestive lines.

During my surfing, I stumbled upon this intriguing piece of information:



 I was startled, and determined to find out the mystery of the number. After imbibing several cups of coffee, pacing back and forth, and throwing darts at my Bella posters, I arrived at the only logical conclusion. Sixty-five is the Cullen number because it is the number of times Edward has to gaze at Jake before he goes from this:





To this:








Having reached this satisfying conclusion, I have to advance mathematical knowledge in general and persuade thick-headed, stubborn vampires in particular by posting a heavy Jake picspam, including Emmett and Ephraim Black.

Warning for bare chests.

Since this is thing 64, I'm reminded of the Beatles When I'm sixty-four, so I decided to post my favorite Beatles song: 'While my guitar gently weeps' by George Harrison, featuring Eric Clapton. As with all Beatles songs, I can't remember when I heard it for the first time, though I recall one Christmas day this song played while we put the baubles and lights on the Christmas tree.

I like this song so much, I even made a Drarry video with it; I don't see the point of uploading it, though. Besides, it has footage I had already used.

So I'm writing a short fic and wanted to be sympathetic to Bella. I looked up some Bella quotes... suffice it to say it made writing the last paragraph of the fic a very satisfying experience.

I've been entranced by this group for quite some time now. In fact, I may have written a story or two about the lead singer because these people are able to seemingly weave magic into their wild lifestyle. It would be a thrill to become part of this aristocratic set, though I don't know if I could withstand the stress they face.

One thing for sure, I would try to convince them to change their manager because that person and his entourage has led them into dire straits. Their clothes look cool on them and their hair makes them the center of attention wherever they go, a perfect mix of Bon Jovi and P!nk.
