Colombina's Grotto

[Colombina]

I am supremely pleased to have graced your candy shelf! <3 The picture made my day.

I'm sure you have already seen this since you are a Sufjan fan but in case you didn't, here it is! I saw one of these Take Away Shows done with Fleet Foxes and I LOVED it. LaBlogotheque does such a good job with these videos and of course, Sujfan isn't too bad to look at either It is slow to start but it is worth it! Anyways, I saw it and thought of you! Happy listening Binabear!

Kendall, I <3 you so much, right now. This was great. He faked me out by playing one of my favorites of his at the beginning. (Seven Swans was the first Sufjan album I ever got.) I wish I could get a clean mp3 of this.

Feeling a little disheartened today, but what's forgiveness for if not imperfect people? And we are all vicious in our own way. Robinson Jeffers – “Original Sin” The man-brained and man-handed ground-ape, physically The most repulsive of all hot-blooded animals Up to that time of the world: they had dug a pitfall And caught a mammoth, but how could their sticks and stones Reach the life in that hide? They danced around the pit, shrieking With ape excitement, flinging sharp flints in vain, and the stench of their bodies Stained the white air of dawn; but presently one of them Remembered the yellow dancer, wood-eating fire That guards the cave-mouth: he ran and fetched him, and others Gathered sticks at the wood’s edge; they made a blaze And pushed it into the pit, and they fed it high, around the mired sides Of their huge prey. They watched the long hairy trunk Waver over the stifle trumpeting pain, And they were happy. Meanwhile the intense color and nobility of sunrise, Rose and gold and amber, flowed up the sky. Wet rocks were shining, a little wind Stirred the leaves of the forest and the marsh flag-flowers; the soft valley between the low hills Became as beautiful as the sky; while in its midst, hour after hour, the happy hunters Roasted their living meat slowly to death. These are the people. This is the human dawn. As for me, I would rather Be a worm in a wild apple than a son of man. But we are what we are, and we might remember Not to hate any person, for all are vicious; And not be astonished at any evil, all are deserved; And not fear death; it is the only way to be cleansed.

Bina, thank you for taking time out of your evening to answer a billion and one questions. You are beyond awesome. <3

Mermaid time!

[Hadrian]

I was just going to post The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife here, but you would kill me, and possibly never go swimming and/or have sex again.

Diablo Blanco:

One cat must face swarms of Badgers in order for her to save her snowy kingdom from utter destruction. Who is this cat? Cheshie-pants McMorwen. Will she succeed? Looks doubtful.

Dani, now you're just being silly. My mother-in-law would never call me "Ace Ventura". Diablo Blanco means, "White Daisy". You seriously need some Rosetta Stone help. My hispanic family loves me. (P.S. Don't ever post Mermaid art in my scrap. My eyes hate you.) Sarah, you have once again made my day with a funny picture. I laughed, I cried, I made Mr. Bina look at it, etc. Also, I would let you pass in exchange for well-phrased threads... or that marshmallow coconut stuff around pink Snowballs. That stuff's like cigarettes in prison in Bina territory. And thanks for the lovely pic Faroul! I actually have that one framed in my humble abode. No problem on answering the questions, makes me feel useful

I aim to break brains! PS I'm reading a book on quantum mechanics and it's making me want to poke at Kelwyn, just so you know.
