It was time for a change. That much I knew. However, I'm not quite sure what I've need of putting in here any more. Filling in my blanks is a matter of mere guesswork, but you're up to it, I suppose. There is much of caprice in me, but at least I'm not asking you to knit me something.

My favorite music: |
|
Berliner Philharmoniker |
| comments: Under von Karajan, undoubtedly one of the best Brahms recorders out there. |
|
Gustav Mahler |
| comments: *swoons* preoccupations with resurrection and death bother me not at all... rich, dark, swirling music is always a good thing. |
|
Dmitri Shostakovich |
| comments: was influenced by Mahler and carried his own burdens under the Soviet regime which give an appealing cast to his music which one is easily drawn into |
|
Benjamin Britten |
| comments: One of the few really good English composers. The first time I heard his War Requiem I cried. And he almost wrote six cello suites, just like J.S.Bach, but only finished three. |
|
Johann Sebastian Bach |
| comments: He wrote the original unaccompanied cello suites. Go out and buy some recordings of them if you haven't already. |
My favorite movies: |
|
The Princess Bride |
| comments: I remain convinced that the cut-version book was better, but then again I had the book read to me by my youngest older sister back when she was still a goddess to me. She's been demoted since. Soon she may even be falliable. |
My favorite authors: |
|
Jorge Luis Borges |
| comments: It's a pity I don't read Spanish, or else I would have read him in the original. The translations, however, are some of the best fictions that I've read. I'll get around to his nonfictions someday. |
|
Lewis Carroll |
| comments: "And hast thou slain the Jabberwock, my son? O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!" |
|
J.D. Salinger |
| comments: Franny and Zooey... the Catcher in the Rye... need I say more? |
|
Milan Kundera |
| comments: Czech authors I like. Other Czechs: Kafka, Smetana, Janacek... |
|
Robert Heinlein |
| comments: With Ray Bradbury, my favorite SF writer. Stranger in a Strange Land, Job: A Comedy of Justice... Something Wicked This Way Comes... go curl up and read. |
