It was such a romantic affair

Last summer's nightingale has returned. This year, I think it has a megaphone. I'm going to find a medium and slap Hans Christian Andersen silly.

I had to go find a recording of a nightingale--I've never heard one. Their song is... not as pretty as I was hoping. Certainly nothing on the hermit thrush or the wood thrush. They truly do sing at night? I guess so, since your entry is going up around 2:30. Meh--not much fun for you to be kept awake by this bird.

I had an awake-way-past-his-bedtime robin the other day. Entirely too cheerful.

You internet is in the mail.

Just think how much more irritating a mechanical nightingale might sound...

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

Why did they even want to duplicate that sound? Was what I found myself wondering, after hearing the song online....

Maybe there's a more sonorous breed of nightingale?

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

I think there must be...

If you're sure it's a nightingale, you should let the Audubon Society know; they're a European and Asian species.

Isn't it an odd feeling to find oneself having wishes similar to Unity's?

We have something that sings at night--goatsuckers, maybe. They're not that loud, fortunately, and we have to use the air conditioning cos of everyone's allergies, so the singing isn't such a problem. The thought of it being louder and closer and the windows open... you have my sympathy.

Well, now I'll have to look the sound up too; the responses here are not positive.

Was Hans the one who perpetrated this ( )yth?

We have a nightbird of some kind here as well and I wish it death. It's singing come away (come away) and I'm like "HHHHSSSSS! I'm a cat!" and it doesn't believe me. If only I could squash it somehow.
