I saw him in "A Knight's Tale" - that was a pretty funny movie.

He sounds like the kind of guy that burned his candle at both ends tho - reading the article.

**Mari** · 01-23-2008, 05:09 AM

WHAT! He's DEAD? ... *stares in disbelieve at her screen*
I wonder if my cousin knows. She's a big fan.

Really? He didn't strike me as a fast burner at all. He seemed pretty normal and decent guy. Perhaps his perscriptions and his sleep aids had a bad clash?

My candle burns at both ends
it will not last the night
but oh my foes and oh my friends
it gives a lovely light.

Edna St. Vincent Malay

**Mari** · 01-23-2008, 04:19 PM

That's a lovely poem! Thank you Nurvingiel!
It reminds me of the one I wrote yesterday, only much more compact. How come some people can say things with 4 lines where I have to use 20?!

***Earniel*** · 01-23-2008, 04:34 PM

Indeed, a lovely poem, Nurv.

And I've learned a new English expression.

**Mari** · 01-23-2008, 04:39 PM

Really? Isn't it a Dutch one too?

I don't know my own language anymore!

The last sane person · 01-23-2008, 04:53 PM

I thought that burning a candle at both ends meant wasteful and living the fast life... It wasn't supposed to be a good thing. I guess originally it was not...

***Earniel*** · 01-23-2008, 04:54 PM

Does Dutch have an expression about burning a candle at two ends? If so, maybe I should say I don't know my own language!

But if it does, I will just claim it's only a regional difference anyway.

Zijn kaars aan twee kanten branden = Zijn krachten door verspilling voortijdig opmaken
Aldus het woordenboek.
Yeah, must be the difference between Dutch and Flemish

klatukatt · 01-23-2008, 04:58 PM

Such creativity! Amazing.

I am not so creative. Alas.

Grey Wolf, I would like to hear more of your story. It is quite interesting. By the way, what does PIL stand for?

Acalewia · 01-23-2008, 05:07 PM

It kinda surprised me about Heath Ledger. It seemed to me he was one of the few that were on the right track and not on drugs or alcoholics.

Since I really don't want to read the pages that wre posted in the week I was gone, What's up?

Nautipus · 01-23-2008, 05:14 PM

Not too much, but where've you been?

Niet in het mijne, maar dat is dan ook niet allesomvattend. Never heard it before, though.

Acalewia · 01-23-2008, 05:28 PM

Trying to get my car fixed. Haven't been able to sneak in before work Mooting since Christmas. Finally as able to get it in the shop today, so I'll have my car back soon.

BTW, check your e-mail.

You too, Tunior

Thanks, katt!

The theme is based on the Monsters I introduced here at the Cafe - I thought it would be a nice touch to write a tale about them.

Pil stands for Playing It Loud - which is www.playingitloud.com - a site based on musical discussion (by half at least).

**Mari** · 01-23-2008, 05:35 PM

Oh well, who cares anyway? *shrugs*
I should go to bed, but I have too much energy... Let's see, where did I put that trampoline?
*locates the tramponline and starts jumping on it*

I used to do this as well

Grey_Wolf · 01-23-2008, 05:49 PM

*get up and jumps along with mari*

**Mari** · 01-23-2008, 05:55 PM

Oh hey!

Didn't know you were a jumper...

Oh, careful now, we gotta jump in harmony.
