Harmony ,'Conviction (1)'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
HA! I'm at an academic decathlon workshop and the guy who is leading the workshop (who is brilliant btw), just used Take Me Out to the Ballgame, first in Major Scale then in Minor Scale to show how different those scales are and how they manipulate listeners emotions.
It was way way way cool. I've never heard TMOttB in minor scale. Interesting.
Did it make you cry, Kat?
Nope. But it was still really cool. A nice illustration.
I have to say, it's kind of awesome (I mean truly AWE) to be in a room of 200+ inner city kids listening to opera and have them cheer. The guy who is doing the workshop is rocking it, to mix music.
Sending lots of wedding~ma to Kristin and ND. (Personally, I think you should use the Bride Card. Be an asshat - it's part of Bridal Privilege, no?)
Thanks, Sumi. I've been referred to their "Member Satisfaction Department," so we'll see where that goes.

That's amazing, Kat!
"Who Am I This Time"
Launched a lifetime love of PBS, that did.
I had a customer at B&N this afternoon who was buying copies of a new(ish) mystery series featuring Oscar Wilde as the crimesolver, and I mentioned WAITT to her. She'd never heard of it, but got so interested in it that she wrote it down to order the dvd.
WAITT
Wilde Adventures in Time Traveling ?
Who Am I This Time, which ends with the Walken character proposing to the Sarandon character using the dialogue from The Importance of Being Ernest, after they've met as Stanley and Stella Kowalski, and then courted as Romeo and Juliet, amongst others. (He's a pathologically shy hardware store clerk who only blossoms when he's on stage, and she adjusts her expectations to meet that need of his to communicate through plays.)
Huh! Interesting.
It was filmed for American Playhouse on PBS back in 1982, based on a short story by Kurt Vonnegut and directed by Jonathan Demme. When it was first broadcast, I remember watching it because I had read the story in Reader's Digest a few years earlier. I instantly fell in love with it, and was able to tape it when it was rebroadcast later that summer. I've since lost that tape, but replaced it a few years ago after finding it on Amazon.
It's a terrific film, especially for those who love the performing arts.
