London: Former manager Estelle Wilkinson to speak about working with Coldplay (22 March)
Sounds like it would be fascinating to hear her speak, plus with her namesake, you'll know how to make the most excellent swords! ;) She looks a lot like a sister of mine, tho a red head...

Rate the latest movie you've seen
I know what you mean, I felt the same way when a movie came out about Arthurian legend, as it changed the story around quite a lot and focused more on characters that played lesser roles in the original tales, but perhaps since they are tales it's a matter of poetic license, and who's to say? Red is grey and yellow white, but we decide which is right, and which is an illusion?..

Every Teardrop is a Waterfall Meaning
Every waterdrop is a symphony too, a sound so sweet and soothing to the ear: everyone has a place that they go to when in need, to center and recopuerate; these are sacred places in the sanctuary of nature.

Interesting, didn't know what Chris uses to help his vocal cords, I would never have guessed! Slippery Elm, ah, naturalists to the rescue! And tiger balm, how does it work? I've seen it advertised in the natural remedy catalogs, nice catchy ad! What's in it?

Funny! I guess it translates well into any language!:laugh3: Random Aside >>I admit it's getting better, a little better all the time. Good Beatles Song!<< Hey, that works! Akin to a Bhuddist centering of oneself, I do that on occasion as well, even OMing seems to help me at least, silly as it seems. Glad you found a technique that works for you Emma! .. Music is as much a progression as it is pure creativity, so the Blues artists provided the patterns for many of the Beatles hits, it's only natural, but then original artists provide the basis, so it's all in whatcha want! Harp music even adds the sensitive touch, funny what one finds when one's listening closely.. What's your band Emma?

Hmm, so the Spanish Simpsons it is! What does Homer say when he goes "Doh!" Ah yes, escapism - that's the ticket! :laugh3: Wish life were all that easy, but fortunately it can be here on the low road. Band suggestions?? :confused: As in names of themes or something else? Today I was musing over names of bands past, first the Crickets, then the Beatles, maybe the Fireflies? Butterflies? hehe, that's fitting, eh? ;):)

LP6
:flutterby: Hm, I was just thinking about The Beatles, and they stopped touring as a group to make a studio album, which seemed like a natural progression at the time. Maybe that's the ticket? Psychedelic covers a lot of territory, but I see where you're coming from - that could be good!:daisy:

:laugh3: Imagine the Simpson's only in Spanish - that's got to be trippy. I know Spanglish, the veritable hybrid language, just little bits of Spanish actually.. I used to get them a lot when I was younger, it felt like my stomach was tied in knots, but then one relaxes and all is well. We all get them on occasion - it's normal, and the only way I overcame them was from practice and spending time with relaxing reassuring friends, and music helped a lot. Exercise helps too I discovered - changes one's timbre for some odd reason.. Anyhow, Don't Panic, as Adams' Encyclopedia Galactica guide would say! ;)

Good question, glad you've got helpful advice Miss Morgan! I was just perusing the local library, and I ran across a book on Julie Andrews, I suppose she would be able to offer the best advice of all, maybe a search would offer up some results? There are some products available, I recall Voice Aid being one, though how effective it is I haven't a clue..

Scottish mapster you are then! ;) A good location whereever you go then. :) Ah yes, anxiety attacks - that describes about half my life! :laugh3: They come and go, depending on how secure I'm feeling as well. I've generally plowed through them, setting worries aside, I think that's one way, though it doesn't always work. Hope you are feeling better, get back up on that saddle, ready to ride another day!;) (we all need a little centering time at times, I felt the same way coming down here)

..just watching the cat in the striped pajamas outside the window here.. interesting Floridians! :stunned::) I'm so old, I remember when pong was a big deal; X bot is simply astonishing by comparison. Time keeps on slipping into the future.. What's on tap here?

Cold is cool, truly an experience, fun for about a month. Anyhow, in the future, I hope that the Queen decrees that all of her loyal subjects shall have indoor saunas, with a nice hottub in one corner, and a beautiful atrium with lush tropical plants to house the sauna/hot tubs/ whirlpools, to whisk away the winter chills in the ambiance of warm, humid, tropical bliss. At least it's a nice thought! ;)

What are you thinking right now?
Only a sophisticated supercomputer simulation of the neural networks in our brains, set forth this instance, could... What am I really thinking? A mishmosh of 'I really like the happiness and sincerity she embodies' to a babel fish's wildest dreams. And as the stream of thought just flows on and on, it's beyond expression. Anyhow, how was your day?

Stonehenge builders travelled from far, say researchers
An anthropologist friend of mine says we often underestimate our long-ago ancestors, they were way more sophisticated than we given them credit for. Perhaps, just as modern scupture takes form from some artistic vision, so too did stonehenge. What will people think of the stuff writ large from this era, come 10,000 years from now?

The most beautiful balad I've heard in ages, it's a story of walking on from a past; it finally makes sense.

Rate the latest movie you've seen
At the rate I move at, those look like yesterday's releases to me! Interesting themes, good to see things from other perspectives in life. I'm looking for less melodrama especially after Lincoln, though it was a most excellent movie. :)

What's the weather like today in your town?
I vote that we move to last week-end, and enjoy the weather there. ;) Here's it's, well, embarrassingly warm, I feel a little guilty for enjoying it here, and I feel for those of you in the north - spring is on it's way though!

What is your favourite Coldplay song today?
Bright side of the Moon. It's going to be released some time in the future, I took a look using the infinite improbability drive as a main mode of transportation.
