Food N' Roses

[koganbot]

(1) I can eat three times as much food in one third the time as my parents. This leaves me with a lot of extra time at the dinner table, even when I choose to eat six times as much as they. Perhaps I need to discover a snack that involves intricate and concentrated peeling.

(2) Alex writes: "I can see that 'everyone takes each other's course' moderates the hierarchy required by the notion of authority by placing it on a basis of equality." For the DDR I'm not actually against hierarchy as such or in favor of democracy as such except when they hinder or help the expansion of my knowledge! I suppose that some people might not feel equal to having me as a student, but that's a different problem. The point is to... push a button, or something, that stimulates people to start teaching/learning, when they hadn't allowed themselves to previously.

(3) Listened to the GN'R album last week on MySpace, felt like I was pushing against a weight. This man used to be one of the great live wires, gave speed and sass and weirdness and intensity and danger and dance back to what I'd been ready to dismiss as a dead language. Maybe the last male rock star*, willing to embody mystery, menace, and attraction. (Cobain was doing something different, at least to me.) There was a lot of stuff going on in the new album, but the man sounded tired. Maybe I'll accept this and take the album for what it is if I listen again. Only two songs - the first two - stood out as extra special on first listen.

(4) Listened to the stream of the Kanye, too. Sounded real good at the start but ran out of songs halfway, and the Autotune became samey after a while. Worth hearing again.

(5) Want to hear the Will Young.

*Unless you count Kid Rock and Eminem and, oh, I don't know, a bunch of hip-hop and crunk guys as rock, which you might as well.

Pomegranates take FOREVER to eat, because you have to pluck each individual seed from the husk. You also have to peel the husk/shell/whatever away bit by bit as you eat it, to get to other seeds. It is, most definitely, a snack that is both intricate and requires concentration. And they're delicious, too!

WTF was not expecting to see you here.

pomegranates is totally the way to go

[koganbot]

It's amazing how livejournal works, isn't it?

HAHAHA I AM EVERYWHERE

Well, my mother served persimmons, which aren't pomegranates at all, and they make my mouth wrinkle (which isn't to say that they taste bad, just that they have a drying property for some reason). Except I always forget which is which, pomegranates or persimmons, when I read there names.

[lalanav.livejournal.com]

Persimmons are reddish-orange and sort of fleshy, and look sort of like a tomato...while a pomegranate is big and RED and hard.

there names = their names

It occurred to me that other day that I don't think I've ever commented on a DDR post -- it's not because I'm not interested, but because I have no idea what's going on.

I've only heard the Will Young once but I want to hear all of it again Very Soon.

i am still plugging away at my oasis&gnr project -- writing about music! what is dubdobdee comin too -- tho the version of chi-dem i'm listening to is very unlikely to to be the actual real one

also i started having some thoughts about DDR, and will try and have more shortly

er Isn't there a way you can check on the versions -- against youtube, say?

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

well yes but it's time consuming -- i have 32 potential aleged candidates, inc.some title repeats, but all different lengths and versions, for a 14-track alb

also some of the tracks have all kinds of extraneous noise recorded over them (like AIM bleeps, primaily)
