First was The Who, (won't get fooled again), and second was Frank Zappa, (City of tiny lights). 7664. Macnas - 11/19/2004 11:08:21 PM And what am I listening to at the moment?, at very high volume I might add....
"I got your picture, I got your picture, I want a million of them all 'round myself,
I want a doctor, to take your picture, so I can look at you from inside as well" 7665. thoughtful - 11/20/2004 12:38:14 AM Played hooky this p.m. and friend and i went to see the william morris show. Learned a lot as always and saw lots of wonderful things.
In addition to the interior decor stuff he was famous for including tapestries, wall paper, rugs, and fabrics, he also did some wonderful stained glass windows and a lot of incredible books. Unbelievably intricate work.
 7666. arkymalarky - 11/20/2004 4:24:47 AM I'd love that first in my living room.
The first line of that sounds so familiar, Mac, but I can't place it. 7667. arkymalarky - 11/20/2004 4:25:17 AM I'm better at going from music to words than the other way around. 7668. judithathome - 11/20/2004 5:55:13 AM William Morris was a genius of decorative arts. His wall papers are fabulous. 7669. justears - 11/23/2004 1:11:15 AM I've become an avid fan of Penelope Fitzgerald. Anyone else in here think she is remarkable? I've now read:
The Bookshop, The Blue Flower, Gate of Angels, and Offshore. (also the order in which I prefer them). Does anyone have a recommendation for the next one to read? 7670. Macnas - 11/23/2004 10:48:28 AM Arky
Its the Vapours, Turning Japanese. 7671. Ulgine Barrows - 11/23/2004 11:08:34 AM Well, Macnas. You didn't wait long enough. I knew that.
I've heard that 'turning japanese' is an euphemism for masturbation, because white people's eyes crinkle up into slits when they orgasm.
7665. thoughtful.
that is gorgeous - the cool blues and greens. 7672. Macnas - 11/23/2004 11:57:35 AM UB's
I'll never listen to that song again, just in case. 7673. Magoseph - 11/24/2004 1:02:14 AM Have you tried Google Scholar yet? 7674. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 11/24/2004 2:54:34 AM
Modern Immaturity 7675. arkymalarky - 11/24/2004 4:03:19 AM I've tried it, and it narrows things down considerably, but it may not be what the average student wants because it does cut out some really interesting and informative sites. I will probably find it very useful over the next few weeks, though. 7676. webfeet - 11/24/2004 6:23:01 PM This is bullshit. Absolute bullshit, I say. No book thread? What, don't ye good people read?
Although I am happy to see that the boisterous, self-congralutory title, "Literature There's and Ours" has finally been deleted, though not from memory, maybe one day all the bookworms will come out of their crevices and start spinning their own little thread. Ah, it's just a dream.
I know, I haven't been around and should cast no stones. I am struggling to write my own work, and to keep our home from resembling a crack den.
Best to all friends and enemies, have a lovely thanksgiving and hope everyone is happy and well.

7678. arkymalarky - 11/24/2004 9:45:16 PM Hey Webfeet! Happy holidays to you, too! 7679. Jenerator - 11/24/2004 11:31:43 PM webfeet,
I have really missed you!
Please come back and share suggestions and current reads and any new grand mere anecdotes. 7680. Max Macks - 11/24/2004 11:39:02 PM Is this the place to talk about movies?
I mean does the Mote have a thread just for movie talk?
