>
Which One?!
Digital! Helped me loads, to organize the playing field from the goal post, whenever I played soccer. Prose or Poetry?
Dancing! I get high when I'm dancing. But, I feel low the next day morning. When I look back at those pics! Superman or Batman?
Camping in a tent! Reminds me of the day my dad built a tent. For me and my brother.Rainbow or Musical fountain?
Rainbow Fountain. Looks yummier.Musical fountains can disappoint :(
No memory of heartbreak /or/ No memory of disillusionment.
It’s through experience of these things that we grow, so to have no memory of one or the other is to be significantly handicapped. Hazarding a guess that it’s more important to experience disillusionment than heartbreak, so I’d pick “No memory of heartbreak.”A go-kart or a minibike?
Go-kart. It's fun. Formula One Racing or Golf?
What a choice! I’d go with Formula One racing just to say I had driven one of the cars.Cliff climbing or skydiving?
That's awesome, M! How did it feel? I've participated in a professional rally too. Drove a Jaguar. Finished 5th, out of 20. Cannot forget that day.
Ballet! What grace!Train journey to a village or Flight journey to an island?
I’ve never done it! You drove a Jaguar in a race? Wow! I can’t even imagine. And came in fifth place, no less.
Yes, county level rally race. It was pretty rough, that race. Injured my cervical in that one.
Cervical strain, on the neck. The pain is resurfacing these days. It's been three years since the race, but the nerves and tissues around that area have softened. Took ultra-sound treatment from a physiotherapist recently.
Thanks, Alex. Yes, it feels good when I take that. It's alright now. Sorry to hear that, I hope it gets better. But how did this happen? Thrice?Sweet Potato Pie!
Train journey to a village or Flight journey to an island?
God, can't even imagine that. What was he thinking though? The third one sounds horrible. I've slipped on ice too. Eggs for breakfast.
Fruit custard or Ice cream?--For Desert?
Rain. Love the rain and the smell of earth which follows. Wow, could you pass along some of that ice cream please? :) That's awful. He shouldn't have done it the second time though.
Comedy or Tragedy?
Look at #1809. For desert? Unbelievable. Shame on me.
Psychology. Fascinating stuff! Thanks, for understanding!Braveheart or Dances with the wolves?
Going out with friends. And then coming back home to finish the papers. Hmm, no. That is a lie. I directly go to my bed and sleep like a log. Caterpillar or Butterfly?
Butterfly. I used to kill moth when I was little. I'd find them in the yard, and either smash them repeatedly with a rock, or catch them, rub off all the sparkly stuff on their wings that helps them fly, and leave them there to die. I was a disturbing child.iPod nano or iPod touch?
Butterfly and iPod. My iPod touch went missing in one of those 'ghostly' tube trains.Silk or Velvet?
I've done that too, Kat. I still feel guilty.
Night: Candles/ Morning: Incense.Full Moon or Crescent?
Organ. They sound so haunting, and Halloween-y :DFlute or piccolo?
Flute! Hehe. I like this Alex: MWAHAHAHAHA. A consistent pattern, I might even steal it from you. Sorry.
Sleeping or Driving?
Sleeping. I've only driven twice. I don't really want to drive.Writing letters or emails?
Xbox. I play it more.Where else would we get our cool slang?
+ or - ?
Football. I'm a goal-keeper. I keep my 'goals' hidden away and I 'block' the protagonist from crossing the 'line'.What a boring statement.Cold coffee or Iced Tea?
Turkey! Yes, you must have your dinner. And when you are gone, I am gonna switch across the poetry thread and steal your welcome message to Ryan. I like that one as well. Lol. But I did not steal 'indeed' from you. I swear. Bond or Blond?
Bond :DFur Elise or Minuet in G?
Für Elise.Debussy’s “Clair de lune” or Ravel’s “Pavane for a Dead Princess”?
I just listened to “Gnossienne No. 1.” It’s beautiful! I’ll take that one.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7CKvb...
Oh, I just realized you were kind enough to post links. I’m up at the office, where there’s high-speed Internet. Check this out:

Al, Lux Aurumque was exquisite, visually and aurally! Thank you.Yes, I've heard Barber's adagio before. It is beautiful. How about Rodrigo's Concierto D'Aranjuez, in particular the 2nd movement?
I'd not knowingly listened to Victoria before. Thank you for the prompt, Al. I just finished listening to his Ave Maria, which is beautiful. I've listened to to Fayrfax before from a CD I borrowed from our local library. To refresh my ear I listened to Fayrfax's Magnificat Regale.
Coin toss for me. I think maybe Fayrfax.
Okay, sticking with the musical theme:
Gnossienne by Alessio Nanni or Delibes' Flower Duet?
Flower Duet.Indiana Jones Theme or Starwars Theme?
LoL! Actually, the amazing thing is that I am quite patient, generally. But playing tonight is a lot of fun. Of course, I was supposed to finish some corn and a book review and a fushigi blog... Ah well.
The Rachmaninoff. Yes, it's beautiful, but it doesn't bring a tear to my eye. However, ...
Affairs of the Heart by Marjan Mozetich. (That's a short extract. Here's the whole piece, which Is worth listening to: Affairs of the Heart - full.)
Or:
Runaway Horses from the Mishima soundtrack by Philip Glass?
