I spam, therefore I am. Or something.

I know the meme week was over last Friday...

...but this didn't mean I wouldn't have done them anymore. So go, people. Suggest new things to me. (And from now on I officially say that you'll be meme-free for a while, so don't worry. :3)

Gacked from jamjar:

Recommend to me:

1. a movie
2. a book
3. a musical artist, song, or album
4. a LiveJournal user not on my friends list
5. what I should have for dinner
6. a website
7. a quote

Then put this in your LiveJournal and I'll do the same for you.



ETA: I'm going home already, in a little while. :( It's snowing pretty heavily, and as much as I adore it, we have to leave before it gets that bit too much.

1-Chungking Express (everybody should watch that movie)

2-Le memorie di Adriano (hehee, I got the Italian title) by Marguerite Yourcenar
2b-L'Opera Al Nero, by Marguerite Yourcenar. Only if it's not the English translation because it just kills of the beauty from the book.
2c-Anything by Marguerite Yourcenar, including her not-too-accurate but fabulous autobiography.
Just keep in mind: English Translations of Yourcenar's work are BAD.

3-This is hard you know everything :) Oh, let's go to the metal side of life. If you don't mind a guy with an ultra high-pitched voice: Angra's 2nd album Holy Land. Come to think of it, I'll send you a copy along with Time Machine next month.

4-there's a lot of people you need in your f-list :) But I always thought you and zoesmith should be friends, just because both of you are "mediterranean", beautiful and the sweetest things in the Universe.

5-Whatever your mum cooks, or she'll make you do it :P I don't know. Mmmm spezzatino?

6-can't think of anyone I hadn't rec before. Have you checked Manics.NL?

7-'When the gods had ceased to be, and the Christ had not yet come, there was a unique moment in history, between Cicero and Marcus Aurelius, when man stood alone.' Flaubert.

Actually I read that for the first time, in Yourcenar's notes to her Adriano. She used it to describe Adriano's era and I think it explains a lot of the fascination she (me too) felt for him, also why he could be the kind of Emperor he was. That, and the love for the pretty boy :P

My movie culture is so very poor. I will. :)

I've read something by Yourcenar... it was a collecting, I think, I read it when I was studying for end-of-high-school-exams (woops). I only remember it had Mishima's biography in it.

Ooh, I hardly know everything! ^^; Just a little bit here and there, in fact. :P

I said it already and I'm going to repeat it now, this telepathy is scary. I actually had spezzatino for dinner two days ago, and I'm going to have it today. :P

Thank you for the site, I hadn't seen it! And thank you for the quote as well. I think I've seen it, I've browsed though the book some time ago. I just don't remember where, since I doubt we have it at home.

There´s always time to fix that :) Watch more movies :P
And Wolves of Kromer? Have you seen it?
Can you watch movies in your PC?

She´s got a lot of short stories and she collaborated on Mishima´s biography and translation to French. But you really need to read Adriano and Opus Nigrum (the title in "Spanish" is so much better than the original and the other translations, she should have kept the latin)

Well, it´s cold there, what better than spezzatino? :)

There are other Manic Encyclopaedia sites, but that´s the better, really cool.
And I think the quote is fabulous. I simply love it. Such a perfect description of an era... Guh!

Nope, I haven't. And I can. :) I will (read it, I mean), I just have to remember who I could nick it off. :P I'm positive it was some close relative.

Well, it's cold there, what better than spezzatino? :)
True, but we hadn't had that in more than a couple of months, so telepathy is still valid. :D And it's very very yummi, too. (Not telepathy!) I have to learn to do it, sometime. :P
