November meme Day 17
Nov. 17th, 2009 07:45 pmDay 17 → An art piece (painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.)
Wow, visual arts are not my thing. I like Dali, Bosch and Kush and... they all have a lot of similaritis so... oh! Ok, international exchange :) There is one more artist I like :)
Ivan Generalić was a Croatian naïve art painter. I seem to generally like naive art and he was one of the best here. So, um... have two pics :)

November meme Day 16 and Patrick

Day 16 → A song that makes you cry (or nearly)
That'd have to be 90% of Blue October or Balašević songs... Hm. Ok, lemme find something extra :)
HRSA (You really wouldn't think it's the kind of song that can tear you up but when he gets to "they actually knelt down and prayed for me" I'm done, so when he gets to "I won't cry over anything, over anything at all" it's a bit ironic).
For my brother.
But I just wanna be happy again, until it all falls down
...
And with a broken heart, and a straight face I'm sayin' Brother, help me
*sigh* my favorite band ever.

ladysorka put "What Becomes of the Broken-Hearted" up for download. Because Patrick loves me and wants to increase my collection.

And in other news!! Patrick Stump can sing! And drum! And drum and sing! :) And look pretty while doing it.
I made me some caps but mostly, video! (Where the dude keeps calling Patrick "Pat" and I giggle.)

November meme Day 14

Day 14 → A non-fictional book
I rarely read non-fictional books, but when I do, they are mostly about autism or wars. (I know, I'm your daily ray of sunshine here... :) ) I wanted to talk about one specific book about autism that I liked but I haven't been able to find the title for over a year now. (The library knows it, but not google.) Then I thought ok, Solzenitzyn and Gulag will have to do. But it's Saturday, I don't wanna bring you down :)
So instead, have the first book I ever bought, The Story of the Irish Race by Seumas MacManus. It is an excruciatingly detailed recount of the history of Irish people, from before they settled in Ireland till De Valera's constitution (late 1930's). When I say excruciating I mean 700 pages of tiny print and big words. But totally worth it if you're into... Ireland :)
The book is full of legends and actualfax stories, customs and how they came to be customs, kings and how they came to power and who they fought and why, religious beliefs and how and why they changed, political turmoil, Sinn Fein, Easter rising...
And really, sometimes it's like he opened the dictionary and went "hmm, what's the LONGEST word I could use here?" which was awesome for my English but a killer of all fun. (See, another book I should read now that I won't need a dictionary EVERY page.) Oh, and sometimes (often) he uses the poet form: "Of the superiority of early Irish music, something has already been said in these pages." Orly? ... anyway :)
I don't want it to sound all bad and complicated, it's an amazing book, hey, I read it. But unless you're actually interested in the subject, it's perhaps best used as the encyclopedia of all things Irish. :)
Also, Pete talked to Ryan. *gg*

Day 13 → A fictional book
A Song for Arbonne by Guy Gavriel Kay. I love his writing, he just sucks me into his long complicated stories and I think his brain must be a beautiful place to live in. A Song for Arbonne was the first one I read and I went on to read Sailing to Sarantium and it took me a while to get my hands on the sequel and now I have to re-read Sarantium again because I forgot most of it :(
But A Song for Arbonne is a "oneshot" :) I will tell you what the story is about but it's really not so much what he writes as HOW he writes it.
Have a picture, it's our cover of the book. And under it will be the story description, for those who might not wanna be spoiled.

Day 07 → A photo that makes you happy
I can't show it to you, even under flock, my family would freak if it ever came out at all, but, well, I saved a lot of old photos from my family and there's one of my grandpa as a kid, he's wearing the Oliver Twist garment (not as a Halloween gig). Hat, coat, old boots and a scarf. (Seriously, Ryan Ross would be jealous.) He's tiny, adorable and probably starved, but, well, those were the times. I grin like crazy every time I see it.
So, instead, here, have some Patrick being adorable by, y'know, BREATHING.

Day 08 → A photo that makes you angry/sad
Pretty much any photo by James Nachtway makes me sad, he's my favorite war photographer. But mostly it's a photo from this sequence. I can't find it online but I have it printed out (and on my wall, yeah, I'm that kind of freaky; when my friend comes to sleep over she covers all the walls first.) Photo was taken in Grozny, Chechnya and supposedly, but there is no proof, the kid's parents were killed a few minutes before it was taken. Sorry I don't have it bigger.

And! Spencer gave an interview! And talked about Ryan.And I want them back together! What? No, I'm totally over that childish bull. Let's move on. *hugs Spencer* You're too cool for me.
ETA: OH! WAIT! I wanted to show you another Patrick video! He's too adorable for words. No, really! He's reading the lyircs from his phone as he sings. *squ..*

my posting wasn't working for a while there.
As I was saying :) I watched all of Australian Idol, (in .flv, so I skipped most of it) and Pete was massively too kind to them. They were horrible, even the best of them wasn't all that good but the other two just plain sucked. And yet he found something nice to say about every one of their performances. You're a better person than I am, Pete Wentz.

November meme Day 5 & 6
Nov. 9th, 2009 11:50 amDay 05 → Your favorite quote
I rarely read a book and think "wow, this really means something beyond the context it was written in"... shallow much? :) But this quote stuck with me, maybe because it's a testament to how human mind bends and molds and adapts to reality it finds itself in. I have a really long and ranty theory about this and women and African-Americans and understanding what your rights are and a self-debate over whether your mind is helping you adapt or betraying you into submission... but, you don't really need to heat that :D
It's from the end of Imre Kertezs' book "Fateless" (not a misspell) and it didn't take me long at all to find the English translation so I guess it's somewhat known. (the quote, not the book, the book -he- got a Nobel prize so, yeah, famous :) )
The book is, yet again, about a 15yo boy in Auschwitz and his almost death and last second rescue.
"Even back there, in the shadow of the chimneys, in the breaks between pain, there was something resembling happiness. Everybody will ask me about the deprivations, the ‘terrors of the camps,’ but for me, the happiness there will always be the most memorable experience, perhaps."
Day 06 → Whatever tickles your fancy
My nerd, let me show you it.
This is the Eye of Horus:
As an Egyptian hieroglyph it has a story and meaning of its own, and though I find it fascinating, this memebit isn't about that part. This is about math. Which I hate :D But eh, the eye intrigues me :)

Ryan: @iamjonwalker that's because I took all the catfood when I got hungry last night
I can be a flaily fangirl now, yes?
Heeee they are so adorable together :) And how much do I facepalm at the fact that they communicate over twitter most when they are TOGETHER.
It's the Ryan and Jon show :)
Shit I'll be late for work. ... YAY twitter!

So, I know I posted about this interview once before but whatever, I keep reading these bits over and over again and I love them so much. And not even in the "penises touching!" way. Just bff-y. Makes me all flaily and bawwwy and all these other fannish expressions of "too much all at once."
( bits of interview )
( bits of interview )
I have Blue October (my absolute favorite band) and Pete Wentz flying through my head. And I have these things I want to do about them but I'm afraid they'd be too big and pointless, hence, timewasters. 'Cept my brain keeps saying "but maybe NOT!" so it's a battle.
And I wrote femslash of bdsm nature, and it's time to start my NaNo which I kinda wanna do just for funs. It's a threesome (tho, not bandom), and has 2 guys and a girl.
*headscratch* I don't even know. It's sunday and I'm bored and want to do something but have no idea what. But not write fic, I wrote 4000 words yesterday, I need a break today :)

Patrick pictures :) He looks LOST in that big ole chair!
Also MF lol at the comments. "He's fat!" "He's too thin!" "It doesn't matter what he is it's not healthy to vary so much in weight!" "I did 5 years of online medical skool so prepare to have your assz kicked, hoez!!"
I don't give a f, can I lick him?
