I love it when the ladies let me noodle their arpeggios. What the fuck is this post about, anyway?

Yeah, that's the big test of his presidency, as I see it. Maybe he'll take care of it after the 08 election, when everyone's distracted.

Those two phrases sounded different to me. But then, I scored as "profoundly damaged" on that pitch test ogged linked...

Those two phrases sounded different to me.

It's the progression of the notes (going up the scale), not the rhythm.

I don't know nothin from nothin 'bout classical music, but aren't a lot of pieces like that? All that theme & variation stuff.

There totally are a lot of pieces like that, but what cracks me up is the failure come up with really anything melodic at all. Just 1-3-5 and we're off!

If any major public figure is going to flap his hand over his mouth and shout "woo-woo-woo!" it'll be Bush.

I'm out of cigarettes and I don't know whether or not it's wise to interfere with my husband scolding my son, who is losing his ability to cope with it.

a propos of the now verboten boobies thread I felt like mentioning that I used to have a lover who on a couple of occasions mused about how, despite my not being pretty in the ordinary, classical sense, I was still sexy in my own quirky way. this kept me anxious and extra desperate to win his fickle affection, so guys of the mineshaft take note. that shit could come in handy sometime.

Also, don't underestimate the cleverness of the Bush image people. By doing the entire Village People lineup, they have now totally raised the bar for the next president. I can see Obamarus Urungus getting pulled off successfully, but the rest is going to be tricky.

It's a fucking affirmation camp around here. Alameida is beautiful in a deep and dolorous way, but she's not pretty in the ordinary classical sense, although neither is she unpretty such that you'd say she was ugly/beautiful.

It's not like jolie laid isn't a pretty well-established category.

Ogged, you're nuts. Alameida has really fine classic features. Unless what you're saying is that she doesn't look like the kind of girl who enters beauty pageants.

Rossy de Palma.

Some people are just ugly--don't vitiate the concept with your whacked out associations.

And now I'm off to bed, so any response will be INTO THE VOID.

I love the Dragonetti concerto. I don't care if the first movement has only one melodic idea. It's a good idea. Can't beat the ol' major triad. It's a keeper.

to 38: as a male-model turned professional logician he makes a decent living and is AFAIK not married. spends a lot of time hanging out backstage at strip shows where he is friends with the performers. don't know what's up with that.

A logician, eh? Things are falling into place.

Let's hope one of the strippers cleans out his bank account to buy drugs for her psycho boyfriend. No mercy can be shown in the war against logic, reason, and male models.

A candid shot of ol' Rossy.

I'd espouse an opinion, but the fact that she never seems to close her mouth annoys me. Whatever the qualities of her features, they're not enough to overcome the mouth-breather look.

39: I've got a soft spot in my heart for the piece, totally, but partly because it's so ridiculous. The harmonic stuff is great show-offy material.
