Cod, are you out celebrating?

[veruca salt]

I have been to Oklahoma, but only passing through.

Have you travelled out of the state? Country?

No, I am not traveled. I have only been, briefly, to areas within the contiguous States: Texas, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas. The longest I have ever been out of State was the one month I spent in Seattle, with a friend, the Summer before my senior year of high school. I have never been out of Country (recall my adventurousness rating!). At one time, I dreamt of India, and, more recently, there were giddy fantasies of Romania (forsaken); the only constant throughout the years has been my great desire to one day experience Antarctica -- I am always reading books on the subject.

Seattle sounds wonderful. I lived in northern California for a year but never visited Seattle. I regret this now. I would love to see India and Peru as well.

But right now, I want to go here. I could stay forever!

"Well I got into Waikiki
And I spend my time up in the hotel room
No sunburn for me
No friends no family

Yes I see the view
Well I think I seen it somewhere before
Curled up on the sand
Curled up on the floor"
--Mark Eitzel (American Music Club)

What a beautiful locale. Though I would find the swelter and sun-glut unpleasant...I only walk in the evening or when the skies are overcast or otherwise sober and duskish.

Really, I wish right now for some nice vista, window-framed and under glass, that I could dream into...

Yeah, that sun and heat would be a bit of an assault to your gothicness.

How about this space?

My selection: Punta Arenas.

Cut off from its capitol city in the north, Santiago, by close to 1,500 miles of untraversable mountains ,the Southernmost city of the world is home to some 45,000 people and is frontier-like in the rugged plainness of its old buildings and streets, yet it boasts some exterodinarily exuberent baroque architecture with domes, broken pediments, and bold cornices in the town centre that would not be out of place in far grander European cities. Features include: a remarkable Museum, an opera house, and choice restaurants. This is where I would like to spend time BEFORE heading south to Antarctica. Doesn't this city literally seethe with ROMANCE?

Thank you, Theo! That was very kind of you...I can only imagine how annoyingly prolonged would be the upload of these tracks via dail-up! As I am not familiar with ANY of these songs, this will be a treat indeed. Thanks again!

It's no hassle so long as I'm not trying to surf the Net at the same time. I've rented season 1 and 2 of Seinfeld and was enjoying that instead.

There's a Mazzy Star anthology coming out this year. But if you don't have their first two albums and you love "Among My Swan"...the first two are better IMO.

How wonderful! I would LOVE to sip wine and peek at such scenery over the crisp pages of something as lofty and bracing as the very mountains (peaks(!)) themselves -- something German no doubt: Novalis, Holderlin..oh hell, I will become heathen for the day and break out my battered copy of Zarathustra Ahh...to dream.

You truly are a romantic. Do you ever feel like you were born in the wrong time? If so, what decade or century do you feel an affinity with? And where would you have liked to have lived? Are you fond of German Romanticism?

Zarathustra ~ Are you a Zoroastrian?
