Aug. 20th, 2015 08:09 pmKim had splotches of paint on her hands and feet but said she sadly wasn't an artist.
A woman's hair was streaked with purple and she was of the sign of the Death Seraph and I tried to get the sigil in my drawing even though it was on the side of her neck opposite to her arm with the rose, the nautilus shell, Frankenstein's monster and Edward Scissorhands. As a Death Seraph, birdsrightsactivists offers her this horoscope: too much bread in your refrigleator will unbalance your humors. give it to some bird.
I thought Edward Scissorhands looked like Robert Smith and therefore Dream of the Endless. She said they're both awesome. And I was like "oh, yeah, now I see it, with the snowflakes."
There was a guy who looked somehow otherworldly and I don't think I got his otherworldliness across in drawing.

Everything played here was written after World War II started.
Armenians are the opposite of Portuguese people. See, the far-right is eager to point out that Armenians (I think this might apply to Georgians as well) aren't white when they go against far-right politics, like Anita Sarkeesian or Hovhannes Bagramyan, but white when they are themselves far-right, for instance, I don't see anyone calling Rushdoony a non-white.
On the other hand, hard right wing Portuguese like Sarah Hoyt or Larry Correia apparently count as non-whites when the Sad Puppies talk about how totally diverse they are. While those same Sad Puppies and their supporters would say a leftist Portuguese like Christina was white. Of course, they're from places like Utah and Colorado where there really aren't any Portuguese people.
So, anyways, Sabre Dance is the most famous movement from Gayaneh and evokes things like sword dancing and Bart hanging from a ceiling fan with Grampa's teeth in his mouth.
Donald Krishnaswami, the principal violist composed The Swordfishers, and I swear I've heard one of his compositions before. When I saw the name, I thought it would be about fishing with swords and I have no idea why I'd think that before I think of swordfish.
The Swordfishers sounded like the music from Akira and Riven (see, I have been playing video games longer than most Gurpgork members have been alive) overlaid upon The Rite of Spring, with a few references to Jaws thrown in, although swordfish aren't cartilaginous fish like sharks, they're ray-finned fish.
And when the booklet says "the croaking of some Archaic pond creature," they mean "frogs," even though it evokes amphibians more amorphous and less evolved than frogs.
It was played on lithophones, made from rejected leftovers from countertops rather than the petrified baguette looking things they found in Red Paint People burial sites, which evoke Akira, and log drums, which evoke Riven, even though it's ancient Native American, not Papuan.
Afterwards, we got to play around with some lithophones.
Glass wrote a three moment drum concerto, and they played two movements. One is a march, one is a polyrhythmic drumming duel with combinations of two and three note patterns.
Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances was his valedictory elegy, quoting from previous works. The first movement, Noon, uses an alto saxophone, and references his first symphony and a choral work called The Bells. The second movement, Twilight, is a Ravelesque waltz.
The last movement introduces the Dies Irae about midway through, quotes the 9th movement of the All Night Vigil, and the Resurrection and the Alleluyah triumphs over death.
Things don't work that way in real life; he died 2 years later.
Apparently, he had giant Lana hands too.
I was talking to a woman because she brought up The Lathe of Heaven, which, if you remember me asking if there's something like the Goosebumps book Don't Go To Sleep except, you know, good, is the closest thing to that. She told me to read it, and I think I will, even if I do have a giganterous to read list, and I think I need to read The Word For World Is Forest too.
She's not from Norway, but she spent enough time there to pick up a Norwegian accent.
Burning Question: how do you pronounce coyote?
