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.

7. "The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."

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

Hahaha! I like the quote.

...The Three Amigos is not the Disney movie, right? :D

Never heard of the Whitlams. What kind of music do they play?

[kasche.livejournal.com]

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.

[spacedye-vest.livejournal.com]

Disney? Isn´t the one with Chevy Chase, Steve Martin and .. mm the little guy... Short?

[spacedye-vest.livejournal.com]

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!

The Three Amigos is this really funny film about three silent movie actors. They lose their jobs playing the Three Amigos (heroes in a series of films), and get a telegram from a small town asking them to come stop "The Infamous El Guapo" ("Infamous? What does that mean?" "Oh, Dusty, infamous is when you're more than famous. This guy El Guapo, he's not just famous, he's *in*famous.")

Lucky Day: I suppose you could say that everyone has an El Guapo. For some, shyness may be an El Guapo. For others, lack of education may be an El Guapo. But for us, El Guapo is a large ugly man who wants to kill us! But as sure as My name's Lucky Day, the people of Santa Poco can defeat their own personal El Guapo, who also happens to be the actual El Guapo!

El Guapo: And....
Dusty Bottoms: Jose!!
El Guapo: Together we...?
Dusty Bottoms: Burned the village!!!
El Guapo: And...?
Dusty Bottoms: Raped the horses!!!
El Guapo: And....?
Dusty Bottoms: Rode off on the women!!
El Guapo: And we...?
Dusty Bottoms: Pruned..
El Guapo: Pruned..
Dusty Bottoms: The hedges
El Guapo: hedges
Dusty Bottoms: of many small villages
El Guapo: of many small villages....who the hell are you??!!!


The Whitlams are an Australian group. Piano + extras, who do songs that are sometimes funny, sometimes mournful. I reccomend No Aphrodisiac (includes the line "Forty shaved sexy wants to do it all day/With a gun-totin' trigger-happy tranny named Kinky Renée")
, Kate Kelly (about Ned Kelly's sister), Buy Now, Pay Later (Charlie no.3) and I Make Hamburgers.

It probably is. It's just that the first thing I could think of was a (probably) remake Disney did, that I liked a lot when I was a child (then I grew past it, though.)

[kasche.livejournal.com]

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

[kasche.livejournal.com]

Hehe, I've seen it! I don't think I ever laughed that hard in a cinema, before. :D

Thank you for the links! :)

[kasche.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I've read Le Petit Prince. :) Although it could do a reread, I haven't in a long while.

(Pasta and milk? As in together? :P)

I don't know how, but I managed to make appear a frog in my flake (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v363/Kasche_Arbadel/flake.jpg). Wow.
