I Think This Is The Beginning Of A Beautiful Phriendship...

[Oremoose]

no need I just thought since this seems to be the beginning of a beautiful phriendship I would share a small milestone.

Very good choice. :) I just graduated from PM Peep to PM Alien.

"One small step for Phatmass, one giant leap for Ancilla Domini..." or something to that effect.

[Oremoose]

that is good i remember when aliens had their own board and subords.

I would have been so embarrassed had I been Maria in The Sound of Music, with all those nuns at my wedding singing, "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?" Couldn't they have chosen a better song? :hehe2:

I just watched Doctor Who for the first time. :)

[Oremoose]

I just watched Doctor Who for the first time. :)

 

What episode?

[Ancilla Domini]

What episode?

 

The Christmas Invasion. It's one of the first episodes with David Tennant.

(I'll go back a few doctors and watch Tom Baker or Peter Davison, next)

[Discipulus Romae]

go back to S1 EP1, an unearthly child.  Best episode EVER.  :smile4:

When I read that first, I thought you said, "Go back to S1 EP1, you unearthly child!" Thanks, Rock. XD

Okey-dokey, I'll watch that one. :)

:rotfl2: XD

 

Yeah, the old B&W Dr. Who is Oodles better than the new one in my opinion.  There's so much more chivalry and less disgusting weird stuff. In fact, there's NO disgusting weird stuff!

"You have reached your quota of positive votes for the day." Oh well...I'll prop your comment tomorrow. :D

Yeah...B&W is generally better. :) There were some pretty creepy-looking creatures in the new ones! Jeepers...I think I'll go watch the older ones. :D

[ChristinaTherese]

Um. Yeah, the new ones can be creepy. If I knew a way other than Netflix to watch the old ones legally I'd check them out.... The reason I stopped watching Dr. Who (just on Netflix, not actually while it was airing on TV) was that some of it is so creepy. (The last one I watched was The Satan Pit, which is two episodes, and I can assure you that you never ever want to watch it.)

[Discipulus Romae]

yeah, the first doctor is so kind.  I don't know how after thousands of years he could turn out crazy and random like the new ones.

 

I still haven't gotten through the first season yet, there are 30-40 episodes, so school will always be first priority..... or at least it should be....

 

*Gets back to doing last week's tests*

[Ancilla Domini]

1 more prop and I'm a "saint." I wish it were that easy in real life ... :saint2:

[Ancilla Domini]

NTP propped my post. Thank you for concluding my canonization process, NTP! :winner:

This is Just to Say

by William Carlos Williams

 

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

 

 

 

 

You're welcome

Tableau at Twilight,

by Ogden Nash

 

I sit in the dusk. I am all alone.
Enter a child and an ice-cream cone.

A parent is easily beguiled
By sight of this coniferous child.

The friendly embers warmer gleam,
The cone begins to drip ice cream.

Cones are composed of many a vitamin.
My lap is not the place to bitamin.

Although my raiment is not chinchilla,
I flinch to see it become vanilla.

Coniferous child, when vanilla melts
I’d rather it melted somewhere else.

Exit child with remains of cone.
I sit in the dusk. I am all alone,

Muttering spells like an angry Druid,
Alone, in the dusk, with the cleaning fluid.

 

 

 

 

You're welcome.

[Deus te Amat]

That was most excellent. 

 

 

He Foretells His Passing 
by F. D. Reeve 

I can imagine, years from now, your coming back
to this high, old, white house. "Home" I shouldn't say
because we can't predict who'll live here with a different 
     name. 
How tall the birches will be then. Will you look up
from the road past the ash for light in the study windows
upstairs and down? Go climb the black maple as first
in new sneakers you walked forty feet in air
and saw the life to come. Don't forget the cats.

Because you grow away from a house, no matter how much you 
     come back,
if the people you love are elsewhere, or if the reason is, 
     say,
nostalgia, don't worry about small changes or lost names.
Sit down for a minute under the tallest birch. Look up
at the clouds reflected in the red barn's twisted window.
Lean on the wall. Hear our voices as at first
they shook the plaster, laughed, then burned in the dry air
like a wooden house. I imagine you won't forget the cats.

My voice teacher just gave me a new song - Gabriel Faurè's "En Prière."

Now I'm preparing three songs:

Caro Mio Ben, by Giuseppe Giordani

The Moon and I, by William S. Gilbert and Arthur S. Sullivan

En Prière, by Gabriel Faurè

What would you all say is your very favorite city/town in the world?

Favorite country?

 

If you were given a blank airplane ticket, where would you go?
