Here...

After reading everflame's post of Jon Steward, I went back to find this:

Yeah, I'm being bad and not embedding it. Oh well.

I love Keith Olbermann.

Then there's this one:

What an immensely stupid woman she is!

And now, for something completely different...

...and NON political!

I loves me some Christmas music!

In other news, Queen's Gambit WILL be producing a 6th and 7th CD. The 6th one will be stuff that we've started doing since Nikki and Becky joined us, including Nikki's beautiful original and featuring the 4-part harmonies that our friends seem to love so much, Hell, that WE love so much.

Recording on that will be starting soon, soon as Bruce gets over his bronchitis and feels better. The guitar tracks come first, of course, and then we hope to do a lot of recording the weekend of Boare's Heat Feast and the Firefly/Serenity Shindig since Nikki and Becky will be here.

But we're also going to be doing a Christmas/Yule CD; the three gals love the idea and kinda ambushed Bruce with it. It started with AmberBob and I getting wonderful hand-knitted socks made by tensegrity and then Nikki and Becky getting some too. We gals hatched up the idea that the album cover should be all of us with our socks on, which meant of course that Bruce needs some socks of his own. Dear Sam was so obliging as to agree to make him a pair (green, of course!) We'll be in Victorian holiday get up, of course, (new costumes, woohoo!) with our stockinged feet in the focus of the camera ....I think it'll be a blast! It won't be out by this Christmas, of course, with all that we have to do currently. But it will be by next Christmas!

[EDIT: What I forgot to mention is that we need TITLES for the new CDs...in keeping with our Chess theme, of course.

Let me list what we have so far:
1) Opening Move-Take Two (cause take 1 sucked but there are still some out there)
2) Pawn to King Four (the one we cut in the studio)
3) Off the Board (the bawdy one)
4) En Passant
5) Fianchetto

So, six needs to be a logical chess move in line with what's gone on so far. And then for the Christmas one...I have no clue.

And in the meantime, I'm going to get a "Straight No Chaser" Christmas album!

...or I'm really a Renaissance gal!

Conscientious, Fulfilled, and Spiritual

The Renaissance was a cultural movement that profoundly affected European intellectual life. Beginning in Italy, and spreading to the rest of Europe by the 16th century, its influence affected literature, philosopy, religion, art, politics, science, and all other aspects of intellectual enquiry. Renaissance artists looked at the human aspect of life in their art. They did not reject religion but tended to look at it in it's purest form to create visions they thought depicted the ideals of religion. Painters of this time had their own style and created works based on morality, religion, and human nature. Many of the paintings depicted what they believed to be the corrupt nature of man.

People that like Renaissance paintings like things that are more challenging. They tend to have a high emotional stability. They also tend to be more conscientious then average. They have a basic understanding of human nature and therefore are not easily surprised by anything that people may do. They enjoy life and enjoy living. They are very aware of their own mortality but do not dwell on the end but what they are doing in the present. They enjoy learning, but may tend to be a bit more closed minded to new ideas as they feel that the viewpoint they have has been well researched and considered. These people are more old fashioned and not quite as progressive. They enjoy the finer things in life like comfort, a good meal, and homelife. They tend to be more spiritual or religious by nature. They are open to new aesthetic experiences.
