Glirdan and Aina,

I did just get a book filled with questions on "What would you do." And in light of my "What Would Elrond do Bracelets" a while back, I felt like creditting the questions to Elrond. There's a bunch of 'em in here, great book.

Something to try I guess...especially if you don't have money to get your eyebrows waxed.

My point? Cool sig...has a deep, profound meaning to me.
I love it! Boredom always yields the greatest things.

Oh no, it's not even close to being a popular movie. It's actually a bit of a secret movie.

Um, I don't know what that is Gil. If you mean is or was it ever a blockbuster, the kind you see trailers for and people line up to get then no. Like I said, it's a secret.

I also just noticed Glirdan's sig and it made me think that a) you're a funny kid and b) of Harry Potter.

I'm rather fond of Amanaduial's new sig:

Morning glory starlit sky, art's perfection, scholar's truth, soaring music towering words, memory's treasure, grace of youth. Gifts of love to mind and sense...Love's endeavour, love's expense.

Lovely!

Not knowing much German, I had to run it through one of the infamous mangled-translators on the Internet, but I got the idea. Beautiful, Mithalwen, beautiful.

Why thank you - it is even more beautiful when sung (though alas not by me). It is the Queen of the Night's Aria from Act 2 of The Magic Flute "Die Zauberflote"

http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/classical...edmusic2.shtml

This gives you an idea...

It's rather depressing that Mithalwen speaks fluent French, German, English and who knows what else. Depressing for me that is; way to go Mith. I took German for 4 years but still had to translate the thing via internet.

Oh my goodness! I should have checked my CD and libretto collections - I have several recordings of that aria, both in a complete Magic Flute and as a separate showpiece, but the title didn't register.

Now that I know where it's from (and have checked a good translation), I like the quote even more.

Don't be depressed.... I hope my English is reasonably fluent since it is my native tongue. French is the only foreign language I am fluent in and I lived in France for 2 years and studied it actively for about 15 years. I did lots of linguistics so I know bits and how language works which helps but although I did some German - I knew that through a fondness for Opera ...

Heren I find depressing.... so charming, witty and erudite in his fourth language...

Edit: Just to make clear that I don't find Heren depressing as a person - quite the contrary but his linguistic skills are so impressive they inevitably make one feel inadequate in comparison..

You know what I would like to know? I would be very interested to see how HI's love of Tolkien's style of English has affected--if at all--his original languages.

I think we should ask Heren to post something here in Russian and then ask Lush to comment upon the style, etc. After all, his English very definitely shows 'traces' of Tolkien.

I would say that you might be taking your life in your hands with the Russian bit... any other Georgian speakers out there?

"You have done that yourself."
I believe it's a line from Episode III, which makes it really cool just because of that. But it's definitely one of those 'Ooo! that was a burn!' lines. I really like.

Glad you like the sig, Kitanna & Gurthang.

I choose it because I liked it & because it was part of a scene that was well acted enough to somewhat affect me emotionally, something I had already decided Hayden Christianson was wholly incapable of.

But it is a cool sounding line.

Thanks all for the congratulations. It will be going back to the same crude nonsence soon enough. Nothing intelligent and deep for me only shallow and base.

Did you see the MTV spoof of that scene Estel? Something about how "You got BBQ sauce on my bathrobe Obi Wan!"

"You have done that yourself!"

Congrats mormegil, as Freud would say, Welcome to the world of the Super Ego...long may compassion banish logic.

Rimbaud's new signature sounded so familiar upon first reading; I then realized that it's the translation of one of Germany's most famous poems, the Loreley Song by Heinrich Heine.
Quote:
Ich weiß nicht was soll es bedeuten
Daß ich so traurig bin;
Ein Märchen aus uralten Zeiten,
Das kommt mir nicht aus dem Sinn.
Very evocative!

Thanks, Esty. It's a beautiful poem, I wish my German were better that I could appreciate it fully in its true form.
