GW, isn't it supposed to be idleness rather than idelness?
Hehe, I had to look for the ship with a magnifying glass :P

Blackheart · 11-18-2009, 04:05 PM

Did I walk in on some kind of.. tea party?

**Mari** · 11-18-2009, 05:15 PM

Yes. And an ongoing one at that. Welcome

Cookie?

Grey_Wolf · 11-18-2009, 05:19 PM

Indeed, dear, ive redone it!

**Mari** · 11-18-2009, 05:48 PM

By the by, was this putting poems in photographs your idea, or was it inspired by some things I made which I may have shown you?
I still combine photos or pictures with sayings etc. a lot for use as a wallpaper

Have a whole folder of them by now.

Grey_Wolf · 11-19-2009, 12:18 AM

The actual idea came from a blogsite called Multiply where a member has come up with something called Triple Play where you chose a photo, write a poem and chose a Youtube video to go along with other two.

Im a member of a photo forum, Photography New England Moments, where we alterned the concept some by inserting the poem into the photo instead.

Acalewia · 11-19-2009, 01:30 AM

Its a great idea, Doc.

I had an english teacher that showed us a pic and gave us an opening line and we had to write a short story for it.

Thing is I don't do page limits very well

I tend to get carried away at times

Ingwe · 11-19-2009, 04:01 AM

Well, here I am once more. *everyone either says "hurray" or "oh well that's nice" or "dammit all!"*

**Mari** · 11-19-2009, 06:34 AM

Cool GW! Acally, that's the sort of assignment we learn to give our kiddies in teacherclasses.

My pupil loves writing. But not as homework, because homework is there not to be done.

Hiya Ingwe! Welcome back. Tea?

Grey_Wolf · 11-19-2009, 11:31 AM

Thanks mari and acally!

Gwaimir Windgem · 11-19-2009, 11:39 AM

This deserves exposure. I will never watch a Pixar movie the same way again.

Something perhaps, maybe tea + radioactive poison today - I need a good kick to my drink...and one that lasts for the entirety of forever. What a lousy week. Seriously. If I were to count the number of good weeks out of this year, there were about what, 4. No exaggeration. Just bad circumstances. The rest of the 42 or so weeks so far have been total catastrophes, just one after the other.

I might take several beers or so instead, but that'll have to wait till tonight.

Aikanáro · 11-19-2009, 01:46 PM

Hopefully next year will be a better one for you, Ingwe.

*provides tea, because:*

'If you are cold, tea will warm you;
If you are too heated, it will cool you;
If you are depressed, it will cheer you;
If you are excited, it will calm you.'

Is anyone here a member of 43 Things? I joined last week, it's pretty inspiring.

Ingwe · 11-19-2009, 05:07 PM

Well, not so sure about 2010. Probably will be a little...different...in a catastrophic way, at least for me. But hey, everything will be a-ok! Wax-on, wax-off.

"And we're back on M.O.O.T. 102,2 with the Moots playing this Eagles classic slightly changed..."

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, i saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And i was thinking to myself,
'this could be heaven or this could be hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought i heard them say...

Welcome to the Teacup Café
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Teacup Café
Any time of year, you can find it here

Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So i called up the captain,
'please bring me my wine'
He said,'we haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the Teacup Café
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Teacup Café
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'we are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing i remember, i was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place i was before
'relax,'said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!
