Funnily enough, though, I'm listening to Claire and the Reasons sing
Pluto
right now:
"Pluto I have some frightful news dear/ In the New York Times they've just reported/You've been overthrown/ From your Solar Throne/ For good./ Pluto/ They say that you can't handle/ Your own gravity./ Well how can you overcome your body force / To clear the pathway for your orbit?/ And all the planets will gather around to have a thing for you/ They'll wrap their orbits warmly around you/ And send you off with love/ Chin up Pluto! /The stars still want you and we down here do too!..."
etc etc.
Omnis, I'm pole-axed that an adult
working in lighting
can not know the colours of the rainbow (with or without indigo!). Pole. Axed.
Yeah, they can pry indigo out of my cold, dead hands. Why they gotta be messing up all my childhood mnemonic devices?!?!!
Rainbow of the light spectrum should have indigo. Rainbow in paint should not. Because in the light spectrum, having indigo makes it divide up nicely, but with paint, where you can mix colors, having just purple makes the primary/secondary work out right.
Actually, I think I can make an argument either way for indigo being in the light spectrum. But it definitely does not belong on the color wheel.
I'm watching Pal Joey. Frank Sinatra just took his regular tie and retied it as a bow tie. Impressive.
This is a fun movie. Horrifying in parts, but fun.
I'm sorry for your loss, askye.
My dad used to mispronounce names all the time. Like Truman Capote (said Ka-POTE). Hey, I have a question as long as we're looking at pronunciation. I know you can say bah-nahl-ity or bah-NALL-ity, but is banal always bah-nahl? Do some people say bah-NALL?
Pal Joey reminds me of my mom, Hil. She used to go around singing the stripper's song.
I'm not clear on the difference between bah-nahl and bah-NALL, but I'd put money on the fact that someone somewhere pronounces it b'anal.
Heh.
t /13 year old boy
The "Zip!" song? I just got up to that part. Got to love Rita Hayworth.
b'anal
I did. As a 13-year-old, even -- but totally innocently, as I hadn't figured out the right way to say it.
