If Prince and Bjork had a child what who it be like?

What's the best thing Kwame Kilpatrick can do right now?

Are you in love?

What's your favorite item at Trader Joes?

Can you shake your booty, your pretty booty, your mighty booty?

Hi Nikki.

What book are you reading right now?

Do you know how much I miss you?

She would be a magikal, musical, elfin genius. That would be an interesting child 'ndeed ~ and I imagine the sex to conceive said child would be quite imaginative.

What's the best thing Kwame Kilpatrick can do right now? He could start by writing a check for 8 1/2 million dollars to the taxpayers of Detroit. And, saying sorry might be a thoughtful gesture.

Are you in love? Just with my beautious doggies and kitties and a select group of friends and family ~ untangling from a very long marriage.
What's your favorite item at Trader Joes? Three ginger ginger snaps, cranberry walnut tart, sliky smooth goat cheese, lots n lots more.

Can you shake your booty, your pretty booty, your mighty booty? Just get me to a concert!!!!


Hello littlemissG ~ have we met? Your profile says Michigan ~ are you near Detroit? Your questions ~ hmmmm
You know your thread will crash and burn ~ I'm not in GD enough for people to know me.

I won't ask her anything, but I'll tell her something:

Nikki, you're IT, no TOUCHBACKS!

Hope all is going well with you!

You just get back in your where you belong mister. And, love to Tracy. Oh, and you too. Indigo and Paris lick hello.

Hi Nikki.


Did you celebrate for your birthday this weekend?


How's your mom?


Do you really still think Icing Sugar really qualifies in the same category of titles as Finding Forrester, Saving Silverman, Killing Zoe, etc.?

Nikki!

Do you like classical music? If so, which is your fave composer?

Have far away do you live from Gangsta? Holland is small, so most peeps are close except people in Belgium or Echt, but the US is fookin' huge.

Tell us about those pets! Doggies and kitties? Menagerie!

Do you play music real loud when cleaning like some people do? If so, what music gets you up and about?

And that's the reason it's good I do not work in a shelter, as I would end up as an old kookie with 101 cats.

MoonSongs said:

Uhmmm. Let's see. That is hard to do if you do not give me pointers on what pieces of music provoked the response you describe.
I got into classical through various sources; most importantly watching the movie Amadeus (still my fave movie of all times; talk about provoking tears), which made me buy the soundtrack.

I also worked at Virgin, so had lots of time to discover the music on the classical dept. I soon found Eric Satie amongst my favourites, who wrote some beautiful melancholic piano pieces. Easy to hunt reference are the four pieces of music by Lisa Coleman on the limited edition bonus disc of Wendy & Lisa's Eroica (recorded in Prince's house).

I suppose I am like you; I have an emotional response to music or I do not. Often it is with singers, sometimes it is with melody, like Björk's Overture/New World, which I had a connection with before seeing Dancer In The Dark, but could not listen to for years after the simply traumatic experience of seeing the movie. The power of music. When I hear that melody I cry.

A voice I connected with immediately was Maria Callas. She is not a diva for nothing; her voice was maybe not pitch perfect, but she could whip up emotions like tidal waves. The collection called La Divina (three seperate albums, of which the first is the best) is a beautiful introduction to opera. It features songs out of different opera's, so if you like one piece, you can get that and work from there.

In Holland there is a organisation for the promotion of classical music and they release a cd every year with classical highlights (and a booklet of discount coupons for the actual cd's that feature the one performance on the compilation) that helped me distinguishh what classical music I like best.

My personal list of composers are; Mozart, Satie, Ligetti, Mussorgsky, and Bach, but the discovery of classical music is a lifelong experience; there is SO much.

Cuz after the composers come the performers; Glen Gould, Callas, Schwartzkopf, Brendel, Karajan, Bernstein, Anne-Sophie Mutter (beautiful!), who I would suggest listening to if you want to get into violin.

And my fave performer of one of my fave composers; Reinbert De Leeuw playing Satie piano pieces.

Well, I AM an old kookie (it's quite fun actually) but no more kitties. My job after I retire will be to rescue doggies and have a foster home for them while they recover.

MoonSongs said:

I love you give so many animals a good home! I house two cats, from the pet shelter and they were traumatised. I think I did a pretty good job over the years in making them more friendly and trusting.

Too bad that the cats dislike dogs (and kids) fervently so I can;t have a dog too; I miss the walks.
When still living in my village of birth, my then mother-in-law lived a five minute bicicle ride from me. She had five labs (not just normal labs, but a special breed I forgot which name) and I had the key to the kennel (outside) so I could pick up one of the dogs and take it with me if I had one of my insomniac nights and go for long walks.
It's always better with an animal friend to pet,hug and play with on the walk.

MoonSongs said:

Did you have a special training for this work or did you roll into it? Is it charity work or a paid job?

Slap me if I get too nosy!

Actually. I got an insomniac night right now; it's 5:19 and I should be asleep. But I have had a relapse that conflicts with my work and now I just worry...

I need sleep.

MoonSongs said:

They let you do that? Kewl!

Many cats and dogs will live in harmony ~ please don't let this pleasure elude you ~ you have only to keep trying combinations and you will find the ones that work. Often, it just takes time for the cats and dogs to acclimate to each other. Both dogs and cats bring such joy ~ each in their way. I will never have a home without a dog in it. No special training ~ just lots of practice and instinct. It is common ground for Nathan and me. We have rescued many animals together and individually. We both got the gene from our moms it seems. If I would have a foster dog home, I would take some training with a vet or in some classes. especially in animal behavior, natural healing for animals, first aide and how to give shots etc.

MoonSongs said:

Mine are SO easily spooked. They flee and do weird stuff when they encounter loud noises or big movements.

DeeDee allows me to pick her up only when we're alone. I better not dare to pick her up and someone that does not know her would move suddenly; she would do ANYTHING to get away, including scratching me open.

Dexter did this once at the vet. I told them; wear gloves, but nooooo. He clawed open the inexperienced assistent, then turned the room into a MESS in ten seconds.
In the end they gave ME the gloves, the sissies and I had to traumatise him even further myself cuz they could not do the job.
He clawed my hand open, then let everything run (you knoooow) and he infected my hand. Had to get a tetanus shot and all. My hand was swollen to unlikely proportions.

HamsterHuey said:

I will look into to these as time allows. It is getting more difficult to fit things in ~ ah, if I didn't have to work . I love the cello and have a Hearts of Space (PBS) broadcast called Gothica that has some exquisitely painfully beautiful cello on it. Cello is like a sad lost old soul child to me and makes me cry nearly every time. I love Lisa Gerrard ~ second favourite female artist to Bjork. Her range and emotion alomg with the mystical language in which she sings just crumbles me. Do you know Sanvean by her? Please try to find it (not the live version to start with ~ the album version). I love melancholy, dark music most. Thank you for all of the suggestions. I adore you

HamsterHuey said:

Well, we didn't give them much of a choice. It was Ivy, Nathan, Supa and me and we ROCKED that place. They were all looking at us like and we just kept putting money in the computer jukebox. Every once in a while a country song would play but we OWNED the night!!!! The more people stared, the more outrageous the songs we would play. It was hysterical.

HamsterHuey said:

Maybe some chamomille tea and put on your favourite quiet classical sounds? Here is a goodnight .
Angels in your dreams ~ I'm going to bed now too. nite sweetie. n

MoonSongs said:

Satie it is then!

MoonSongs said:

Purrrr

Sleep well. Pre-sunrise bird chatter here; on of the most beautiful moments of the day and the only good moment in an insomniac's night...

MoonSongs said:

Oh myyyy. That must have been a blast!

I am DJ-ing at a friend's place; not really DJ-ing, I must admit; I make a playlist upfront and press play at his party. LoL

I'm in a Medulla mood...

Where is the line with you?

Who is it that never lets you down?

How am I going to make it right?

Do you forgive me for being so ridiculously retarded and busy that I didn't post on your birthday thread and will you allow me to so late in the game?

What is your most memorable moment from my first trip?

From my second?

If you could recommend one album to me, what would it be?

Do you know your role in this world? If so, what is it?

MoonSongs said:

Don't forget Tricky!

OK, please let the forgiveness floweth.

I have a picture of us from that day that is just so PERFECT! It totally reminds me of those Russian dolls where you fit one into the next into the next. It wasn't planned this way but we were standing from shortest to tallest. We looked like live versions of the russian dolls!

I swear I will get those pics to you before the decade is over

MoonSongs said:

No, I'm really sorry. In this case, "icing" is an adjective. Besides, the object of the verb has to be a proper name. This reference is just to icing sugar. You aren't "Icing Sugar" as in knocking someone named Sugar off or dumping her in a cold bath.

I love Steis's. That jukebox is to die for, but a bit pricey.

That's my kind of bar, actually. Minus the family dining experience. Though I like the food. I think I'm the only one out of our crowd (that I went there with several times) that every played anything bar-appropriate.

Raze said:

Nope ~ I stand by my title. Icing (my own special flavor ~ well in that case it's a noun) Sugar (the man in my dreams) . I'm busy icing Sugar so leave me the heck alone!!! ) You're just jealous because you didn't think of it first.
