Uh, say what?
If you wonder why "Inferno XV", do a bit of research. If you can tell me why, I'll buy you a drink.
I swear, everytime I see Mirko, he compliments me. Last Tuesday, it was 'nice coat!' to my Mao Jacket. Thursday it was 'ooh nice coat' to the green Hugo Boss coat. Last night it was 'hey, nice haircut!' as well as telling me that i moved very gracefully and stylishly on the piste when fencing. I'm walking on air. Today I noticed he wore a signet ring on his right little finger. I asked him what it was. He said it was his family crest, and did I like it. I said very nice. I asked him if he had aristocratic ancestors, and he said one of his ancestors fought on the Russian side against the invading Teutonic Knights in the Middle Ages, back in Novgorod.
If the news is anything to go by, Ukraine is on the brink of a civil war, with the disputed election results as the cause. Spare a prayer for a country that has suffered so much in the last 100 years.

I am The Hermit The Hermit often suggests a need for time alone - a period of reflection when distractions are limited. In times of action and high energy, he stands for the still center that must be created for balance. He can also indicate that withdrawal or retreat is advised for the moment. In addition, the Hermit can represent seeking of all kinds, especially for deeper understanding or the truth of a situation. "Seek, and ye shall find," we have been told, and so the Hermit stands for guidance as well. We can receive help from wise teachers, and, in turn, help others as we progress.

Had Mary Kan and Chongwei over for dinner last night. René jokes that it's like I'm running a soup kitchen. I'd run out of ideas on what to cook, so I decided to make something up on the spot.
Got this off a friend's blog (Thanks Vic and Gloria!)... Bold indicates Yes, I've done that... And no, you may not ask me to elaborate =p
Soundtrack: "Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben", the opening chorus of Bach's cantata of the same name, played by the Monteverdi Choir & Orchestra, directed by John Eliot Gardiner. I love the way that trumpet bounces about, above and over the rest of the ensemble, delightfully joyful.
So okay. I've never done foil or épée before... but I HAVE fooled around with broadsword and a wee bit of sabre...
Soundtrack: "All That Jazz" from the Chicago soundtrack.
From Mixolydian Mode:
Do you know what the General Prologue is? (Hint: "Whan that April with his shoures sote / The droght of March hath perced to the rote...")
… and quote it in casual conversation?
… with a proper Middle English accent?
… do your friends join in and quote with you?
I was at a housewarming party last Saturday evening. On the bus there, there was this really cute blond-haired blue-eyed boy, about 6'1" or so and rather buff looking. He turned out to be going to the house-party 2 doors down the road from where I was going (this is got from observation, not conversation). Co-incidentally, as I was making my way back, he was on the same bus back too, and got off (or alighted, if you prefer) at the same bus stop as I did. Hmmm. This is interesting.
This just in from Andrij, and it's too funny for words, that's why I'm putting it on!
Annoyingly, the production of Händel's Giulio Cesare in Egitto I was supposed to sing in, has been cancelled.
