The dreams are all melting, only to reform

Have a post mostly free of content! I stole the first meme from yhlee:

Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything [within reason]: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on yaoi, favorite type of underwear, graphic techniques, etc. Repost in your own journal if you are so inclined.

Obviously, I could not tell you much about yaoi or graphic techniques, but all sorts of other random subjects are fair game. At the moment I am thinking that I need to research more of Leslie Howard's life, but I would probably have mentioned that anyway. The other two are courtesy of lignota.

You Were A Jaguar

A shapeshifter that understands the patterns of chaos. You are powerful and move without fear in dark places.

What Animal Were You In a Past Life?

I can't really complain about that.

You Are Surrealism

Dreamy and idealistic, you've created a world that is all your own. It's very likely that you've either dabbled in drugs or are naturally trippy. You are always trying to push beyond the boundaries of your culture and society. You believe that art, love, and freedom can change the world.

What Art Movement Are You?

I should be so lucky!


In actual news, this afternoon I watched Pierrepoint (2006) and tonight I saw gaudior and rushthatspeaks (with a side of weirdquark, Thrud, and a ninja) and they were awesome. This is not an unusual condition for them, but it is always worth the mention.

And the tenses in the last paragraph are also interesting.

They were awesome when I saw them; this is not a surprise, because they generally are. This is why English needs an aorist.

I figured it was something like that.

I never did have a very good handle on the aorist, but I do feel for you. To me the most frustrating things about (standard) English are the lack of clarity in dealing with duration--no habitual nor imperfect tenses--and the sound system's having been robbed of all its charms--the gutterals lost and that stupid vowel shift.

Glad they were awesome, and that they do be so most always.
