The Very Long Post (all right, *posts*): Part II

[montagnarde1793]

Now for an article and a link which should have ranting, but don't because....they just don't. XD

I must say, I'm not quite sure why this book needed to exist, but since it does, a rather annoying compilation of reviews. As promised, I will leave off the rant, but I do entreat you to consider the sentence "Marie-Antoinette's greatest sin, it seems, was that she insisted on being herself", and shudder with me.

Item Two: I don't know how many of you have seen the new and decidedly un-improved version of the Antoinette movie's website, but the production notes are truly frightening.....In related news, the one supposedly "authentic" piece of music there was written by Scarlatti, an Italian composer who died in 1725. Does anyone else think the odds of that being played in Versailles during Antoinette's stay there are just a *bit* low?

Next Post: The root of all that is wrong with American politics, brought to you by my ever-so-annoying-and-obviously-biased AP US History class, and my review of Manon, as performed this past Saturday evening at the LA Opera (including rant about alternate stagings and how they never show my favorite operas--or they show them at times and in places there is no way I can possibly be).

Well, I thought you didn't want me to die, but of course, I could always try to stab myself while listenning to La Marseillaise and see if it would work. But... I'm not sure I could actually tell you if I got a glimpse of the French Revolutionary Elysium -- unless they find me at the right time and wake me up from my coma. But then, to get my complete report on it, you'd have to wait that the medical authorities allow me to get me out of the mental hospital -- after they desperately try to understand for months and months why the hell I wanted to see the French Revolutionary Elysium and why I had to stab myself for it and why I hate our present world so much.

I can always wait to see it again in dreams... but that's more complex and long because I have to wait for it to happen.

Maybe he'd be upset... but it might take him a while before he realises there are half-dressed chicks all around. Knowing Maxime, he wouldn't get it, at first.

I meant *eventually*--Really! Don't stab yourself, listening to La Marseillaise or otherwise!

Well, you know....he's oblivious, but I don't know that he's *that* oblivious.

...You think I shouldn't? ;___;

Who knows. *shrugs*

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

You think you should?!

I suppose we don't...but I still say he would be upset to know that Marveilleuses are running things.

[maelicia.livejournal.com]

I don't know... sometimes. ;______________;

After we explain him what are Merveilleuses, yes.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Just.....don't. ;__;

Oh...I don't suppose he would know, would he?

[maelicia.livejournal.com]

...I'll try not to ;__;

Indeed not, since they came after... after him. *weeps*

Good. :D

Pauvre Maxime. ;__;
