Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

ita !, that sort of stuff is why I'd rather develop than be in any way in charge of other developers. ::shudder::

Because books.

Yikes.

I'm watching the Olympic opening ceremony live right now. It has been pretty excruciating so far. OTOH, the Queen and James Bond just jumped out of a helicopter together, and you don't see that every day. Thank goodness.

Now some children are singing and signing the National Anthem, but for some inexplicable reason they are all wearing pyjamas. No idea why. Perhaps it's past their bedtime.

Oh! It's J.K. Rowling! Now might be the bit where Mary Poppins gets to defeat Voldemort !

I was thinking of going to bed but I have to stay up for this.

It's not just one MP, it's lots. And it was all over pretty quickly .

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I guess it's stupid to be irritated that I'm going to get spoiled for the opening ceremony by Twitter. Or every news website.

I don't think it's raining, the weather has been very unbritish (i.e. sunny) for the past week or so.

Oh! Genuinely funny surprise appearance which I will not spoil. The LSO seem to have a new synth player .

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Fay is liveblogging it on her FB, so anyone who doesn't want to be spoiled, try avoiding FB.

(I don't care, so I'm cracking up at both the actual content of the opening ceremonies and Fay's inimitable reaction to them.)
