This may mean, you’ll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured, when I start to make you nervous
And I’m going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change and today won’t mean a thing
I'm a Bitch by Alanis Morissette
"I’m selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle, but if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best."
- Marilyn Monroe

Musically Challenged: I'm a Bitch
Two weeks in NOLA for the mardi gras 2017
Founded in 1993, the Krewe of Orpheus takes its name from the musically-inclined son of Zeus and Calliope. Founding members included Harry Connick, both the junior and senior.
In New Orleans, the krewe established themselves as a superkrewe with their first parade in 1994, which rolled with 700 riders. They were the first super Krewe to allow both male and female riders.
The Krewe's throws include a number of popular items including emblem beads, stuffed animals, signature beads, light-up Orpheus medallion beads, cups, three different types of doubloons, and 4-foot-long stuffed dragons.
They have a number of notable floats including the Dolly Trolley, the horse-drawn bus that was used in the opening of Hello Dolly with Barbra Streisand, the Smoking Mary which is a six unit float that looks like a steam locomotive, a Trojan horse and the Orpheus Leviathan Float, which is a three unit, 139-foot float, and the first Carnival float to use extensive fiber optic lighting.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Fats Domino wass the honorary grand marshall for 2014. His eldest son, Antoine Domino III, rode in the parade and perform his 85 year old father's music.
In addition to Fats Domino, Quentin Tarantino reigned as the krewe's celebrity monarch.

~for Musically Challenged
oh, monday.
but! it's another short-ish week for me, even though it'll be a busy-ish week too. the Tweedles will have birthday fun stuff at the end of the week w/ their school class! and I'm getting excited for them. :)
As part of my until-now woeful participation in the Musically Challenged group, I am trying to delve into pairings of images with songs that are not necessarily contemporary. Music that often predates iPods, Walkmen and sometimes even LPs - but nonetheless has meaning that transcends ages and generations. My first attempt involved the work of Georges Bizet.
This time around, I offer a selection that has touched a chord of hope in two different cultures in two distinct ways.
The traditional Irish song "Danny Boy", I feel, is meant to instill a love for a homeland. It seems to me that this song serves as a promise: no matter where the singer goes, he affirms in this song that he will always take a part of home with him.
When I was a youngster, I first heard the acclaimed African-American gospel artist Andre Crouch take the melody to this standard and add to it a different affirmation. In this version, "He Looked Beyond My Faults (And Saw My Needs)", the singer is making a commitment to and praising a Savior who has made it possible for the singer and anyone else who so believed to inhabit a very special future homeland.
Do you have to be Irish to have a love of the land that shaped you? Do you have to be of African descent to to look forward to a better land?
Of course not. Of course not. All you need is a desire to find yourself safe at home, whether that place is on Earth or on some higher plane.
I am grateful I have never met a human being of any size, shape, color, ethnicity or value system who could not find room in his or her heart for home.

[My week came up sooner than originally scheduled in the Musically Challenged group. So here goes.]
I don't watch my favorite shows. I invest in them. If you're not convinced, consider this: currently, between my DVR and videotapes recorded over the last 20+ YEARS, I have over 90 hours of "Hill Street Blues" episodes. (Naturally, there are many duplicates...)
So last year, I got hooked on the cable show "Leverage" with Timothy Hutton. Drama, comedy and action - the elements of life, the elements of a good show.
As is cool original music. In two episodes so far, a simple yet poignant song written by a member of the production crew has been featured. As I Googled frantically to try to find ANY information about the song, I learned there were hundreds of other fans of the show desperate to learn about the same song.
There is a reason for that. Using,unlike me in most posts, a minimum of words, the artist touches on life's perpetual struggle and the catalyst that keeps us struggling: hope.
I'm really glad I found this great show. But I'm especially glad I found this song. Especially as some of the clouds and darkness START to fade from some aspects of my life.
I've been living this song most of my life.
Not Sure Yet
as performed by Andy Lange on "Leverage"
I'm not sure yet
About life, about love
But in time
I'm sure I'll be fine

For musically talented Barossa Valley local, Sam Brittain, story-telling is exactly that. Since releasing his debut LP ‘Our Shining Skin’ on June 1, 2012, the path to success for the gifted and independent musician has transformed into a never-ending road. First picking up a guitar at the age of three and additionally turning his hand to the piano and drums,
In 2013, Sam is an unstoppable, roots, folk and blues artist, reminiscent of sounds such as Damien Rice, Glen Hansard and Ryan Adams. Sam supported close friend and musical influence, Mike Rosenberg (Passenger) at Adelaide-based Fowlers Live, as an integral part of Mike’s ‘All the Little Lights’ album tour, a highlight of Sam’s career to date.
The recording of ‘Our Shining Skin’ saw Sam and his band work endlessly with the talented Barossa-based Jamie Blechynden of Stella Studios and VJ productions. Supported by BJ Barker (drums), Steve Flemming (bass) and Glen Wagland (engineer), tracking the backbone of all 12 songs took a mere two days to complete. ‘Our Shining Skin’ quickly earned impressive reviews and was labelled as a ‘formidable and wide spreading resume’ for Sam (Timber and Steel, August, 2012).
Kicking off an Australian tour, Sam officially released the highly anticipated album at a sold out show on June 9, 2012, held at the Chateau’s acoustically brilliant ‘Long Room’. In June and July 2012, Sam crossed the country, delighting crowds and building his fan base in Melbourne, Hobart, Darwin and Adelaide, including an unforgettable sold out show with Sam’s full band at the prominent Adelaide venue, the Promethean Theatre on September 27, 2012.
Marking the beginning of what’s set to be a milestone year and following a hugely successful first tour, Sam’s lead single ‘Bruises’ hit #1 on the Triple J Unearthed Roots Chart on New Year’s Eve, 2012/13, where it consolidated its lead for a consecutive four weeks, peaking at #6 in the Overall Top 100.
2013 saw Sam embark on a 16 date tour once again supporting new age folk music legend Mike Rosenberg (Passenger).
Orphée aux enfers (Orpheus in the Underworld) is an opéra bouffon (a form of operetta), or opéra féerie in its revised version, by Jacques Offenbach. The French text was written by Ludovic Halévy and later revised by Hector-Jonathan Crémieux.
The work, first performed in 1858, is said to be the first classical full-length operetta.[1Offenbach's earlier operettas were small-scale one-act works, since the law in France did not allow certain genres of full-length works. Orpheus was not only longer, but more musically adventurous than Offenbach's earlier pieces.
This also marked the first time that Offenbach used Greek mythology as a backdrop for one of his buffooneries. The operetta is an irreverent parody and scathing satire on Gluck and his Orfeo ed Euridice and culminates in the risqué Galop infernal ("Infernal Galop") that shocked some in the audience at the premiere. Other targets of satire, as would become typical in Offenbach's burlesques, are the stilted performances of classical drama at the Comédie-Française and the scandals in society and politics of the Second French Empire.
The "Infernal Galop" from Act II, Scene 2, is famous outside classical circles as the music for the "can-can" (to the extent that the tune is widely, but erroneously, called "can-can") . Saint-Saëns borrowed the Galop, slowed it to a crawl, and arranged it for the strings to represent the tortoise in The Carnival of the Animals.
Performance history
Playbill from an 1874 revival
The first performance of the two-act, opéra bouffe version took place at the Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens in Paris on 21 October 1858 and ran for an initial 228 performances. It then returned to the stage a few weeks later, after the cast had had a rest. For the Vienna production of 1860, Carl Binder provided an overture that became famous, beginning with its bristling fanfare, followed by a tender love song, a dramatic passage, a complex waltz, and, finally, the renowned can-can music.[3]
In America the work played in German at the Stadt Theatre, on Broadway, from March 1861.[4] It had its Czech premiere in 1864, under Adolf Čech.[5] It had a run of 76 performances at Her Majesty's Theatre, in London, beginning on 26 December 1865, in an adaptation by J. R. Planché.[6]
A four-act version, designated as an opéra féerie, was first performed at the Théâtre de la Gaîté on 7 February 1874.[7] (This has proved less popular over time than the original two act version.)
Sadler's Wells opera presented an English version by Geoffrey Dunn beginning on 16 May 1960.[8] In the 1980s, English National Opera staged the opera freely translated into English by Snoo Wilson with David Pountney. The production was notable for its satirical portrayal of the then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher as the character Public Opinion. The first performance was at the Coliseum Theatre in London on 5 September 1985.[9] The D'Oyly Carte Opera Company performed the work in the 1990s.
Critical appreciation
In the eyes of Clément and Larousse] the piece is une parodie grotesque et grossière (a coarse and grotesque parody), full of vulgar and indecent scenes that give off une odeur malsaine (an unhealthy odor). In the opinion of Piat, however, Offenbach's Orphée is, like most of his major operettas, a bijou (jewel) that only snobs will fail to appreciate. The piece was not immediately a hit, but critics' condemnation of it, particularly that of Jules Janin, who called it a "profanation of holy and glorious antiquity," only provided vital publicity, serving to heighten the public's curiosity to see the piece.

Le French cancan est une forme de spectacle musical et chorégraphique apparu dans la seconde moitié du xixe siècle.
Historique
Les bals sont très fréquentés au xixe siècle à Paris, en particulier durant la période du Carnaval. Dans ce cadre apparaît le cancan ou « coincoin », qui se danse en couple. C'est une danse licencieuse, car à l'époque les femmes portaient une robe longue, des jupons et une culotte fendue. Lever ainsi la jambe, la robe, était très osé et érotique.
En 1850, Céleste Mogador, vedette du bal Mabille lance le cancan, une nouvelle danse d'environ huit minutes au rythme endiablé, sur des airs entraînants de la musique festive de danses de Paris au xixe siècle1. Faisant preuve d'équilibre et de souplesse à la limite de l'acrobatie, les danseuses de cancan dans leur costume affriolant font perdre la tête au Tout-Paris.
En s'inspirant de cette danse, le producteur anglais Charles Morton invente une nouvelle forme de ballet2 : le French cancan. Censé émoustiller le public anglophone par l'évocation de la liberté sexuelle française et exécuté principalement sur des airs de Jacques Offenbach (notamment le célèbre Galop infernal d'Orphée aux Enfers), figure emblématique du Second Empire, le French cancan connaît encore de nos jours un succès qui ne se dément pas, associant dans l'esprit des spectateurs Paris, ses music-halls (comme les Folies Bergère ou le Moulin Rouge) et sa « joie de vivre ».
Finally getting tickled...with the help of stickies.
Our kids have grandparents who were very talented musically...a jazz drummer, an accomplished piano player, a performer in the USO, a singer and play director. We can trace this musical ability back even further. Singing and playing the piano was always a favored activity.
This talent has skipped two generations. Clay, Maggie and Hannah all took piano lessons growing up. Clay lasted the longest (into high school) and he has a repertoire of four songs. Maggie lasted the shortest. Hannah took lessons through elementary school, but hasn't touched the piano since. We no longer tune it but treat it as an old friend. It sits in our living room waiting quietly.
We came home last night to the sound of piano music, a delightful sound. Hannah, bored writing her History thesis, "took up piano " for the night. She had her laptop on the bench with the backup music and put stickies on the keys as visual aides to help her left hand. Bart and I were smiling.
Portrait of the artist Kitty Kielland (1883)
Artist: Harriet Backer
Throughout Harriet Backer's 50-year career, women's rights changed radically. Being a woman and an artist became accepted. Backer was talented and determined, inspiring a new generation of women and men in the Norwegian art world.
In Backer’s family, art and culture were part of how the children were raised. Her older sister Agathe was musically gifted and wanted to become a pianist. She had to go abroad to learn, and Harriet became her sister's traveling companion. This gave Harriet the opportunity to visit art museums and get to know the historical masters of the art world at a young age. Agathe eventually became a renowned composer and concert pianist, while Harriet became an important artist.
Backer showed an early talent and interest in art, but embarked on full-time studies rather late in life. In 1874, at 29 years, she decided to travel to Munich. The art community in Norway was small, so one had to go abroad.
The art academies in Europe were reserved for men in those days, but women could receive private tuition or attend "women's classes". During her years in Munich, Backer had several teachers. In 1878 she moved to Paris to continue her studies.
Being accepted for exhibition at the Salon in Paris was an important step on the path to becoming a professional artist. In 1880, Backer was accepted with the painting Solitude. Hundreds of artists exhibited at these exhibitions at the same time, and the paintings hung close together, from floor to ceiling. The jury thought Backer's painting was excellent, and she was honoured with a diploma, known as a Mention honorable.
In Munich, Backer learned to paint in a style characterised by a high level of detail and dark colours. We see this for example in Avskjeden (The Farewell), from 1878. When she came to Paris, she was greatly inspired by impressionism. In one of her best-known paintings, Blått interiør (Blue Interior), painted five years after Avskjeden, the transformation of her painting style is evident. Clear and pure colours dominate the composition. From this point on, the interaction between figure, interior and light effects became a theme that permeated Backer's paintings. How to create contrasts between the light indoors and outdoors? How are colours perceived in lamplight compared to daylight? She approached her subjects with these issues in mind.
Backer started her career with a desire to become a portrait painter. She painted many friends and acquaintances, and also received portrait commissions. But it is her interior scenes she has become best known for. She painted interiors from all walks of life – from farmhouses to bourgeois living rooms. For the most part, Backer's rooms are populated by women.
I think I serve the cause of women best by concentrating like a man – Harriet Backer
In 1888, Backer established herself in Norway, and from 1892 to 1910 ran a painting school in Kristiania. She became a popular teacher. Her openness to new ideas in both art and social development was appreciated. She sympathised with the women's movement, but did not actively participate in political work.
In the women's cause, Backer was recognised more for what she did than what she said – as a renowned artist she was an important role model. Together with friend and fellow artist Kitty Kielland, she was a pioneer who paved the way for women to have the opportunity to choose art as a career path.
About Harriet Backer:
Born 21 January 1845 in Holmestrand.
Lived in Paris in 1878–1888.
Started an art school in Kristiania in the 1890s. Backer’s students included Nikolai Astrup, Halfdan Egedius, Harald Sohlberg, Henrik Lund, Helga Ring Reusch, Astri Welhaven and Sara Fabricius (Cora Sandel).
Died 25 March 1932 in Oslo.
Important works:
Solitude (1878–1880)
Blått interiør (Blue Interior) (1883)
På blekevollen (Bleaching) (1886–1887)
Ved lampelys (By Lamplight) (1890)
Barnedåp i Tanum kirke (Baptism at Tanum Church) (1892)
Inngangskoner (Women in Church) (1892)
Interiør fra Uvdal stavkirke (Interior from Uvdal Stave Church) (1909)

On 11 June 2022 the new National Museum opened in Oslo. This is the largest museum in the Nordics. The new museum now consists of the collections of the former National Gallery, the Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Norwegian Museum of Decorative Arts and Design.
The new museum has a permanent exhibition of about 6 500 objects. Design, arts and crafts, fine art as well as contemporary art will be exhibited alongside each other. As such, the permanent exhibition highlights interesting connections between different collections that previously have been on show at three different museums. Additionally, audiences will be able to see the most famous paintings by the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch, including The Scream (1893) and Madonna (1894).
The building was designed by Kleihues + Schuwerk Gesellschaft von Architekten, with emphasis on dignity and longevity over sensationalist architecture. Great care was given to achieve a balance with the museum’s surroundings and the existing monuments in the area, such as Oslo City Hall and Akershus Fortress.
The most eye-catching feature of the new museum is the large, illuminated exhibition hall on top of the building. It will be used for temporary exhibitions.
The rooftop terrace offers a unique view of the inner Oslo fjord. The square in front of the main entrance has become an urban meeting place, with benches and a café that invites you in to take a rest.

Pray For You- By Jaron and the Long Road to Love
I haven't been to church since I don't remember when
Things were going great til they fell apart again
So I listened to the preacher as he told me what to do
He said you can't go hatin' others who have done wrong to you
Sometimes we get angry but we must not condemn
Let the good Lord do his job, you just pray for them
I pray your brakes go out runnin' down a hill
I pray a flower pot falls from a window sill
And knocks you in the head like I'd like to
I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls
I pray you're flyin' high when your engine stalls
I pray all your dreams never come true
Just know wherever you are, honey, I pray for you
I'm really glad I found my way to church
Cause I'm already feelin' better and I thank God for the words
Yeah, I'm gonna take the high road and do what the preacher told me to do
You keep messin' up, and I'll keep prayin' for you
I pray your tire goes out at 110
I pray you pass out drunk with your best friend
And wake up with his and her tattoos
I pray your brakes go out runnin' down a hill
I pray a flower pot falls from a window sill
And knocks you in the head like I'd like to
I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls
I pray you're flyin' high when your engine stalls
I pray all your dreams never come true
Just know wherever you are, near or far
In your house or in your car
Wherever you are, honey, I pray for you
I pray for you
I've wanted to do this song for months, but couldn't decide how- So today I decided I'll start a new series dedicated to this song..I think It would make a cool group- Let me know if you agree... 'Course I've dedicated my life to helping others, so the only person I could hurt is one of my clones (the Dumb one...) but I think this song is screaming for a collaboration ....Let me know if interested in being my next victim...

Estoy tratando de encontrar esas palabras
Que describen lo que pasa en mi interior
Es como una habitación desordenada
Como un once de septiembre en Nueva York
Como vivir en una casa sin ventanas
O navegar en un velero sin timón
Es como estar volando en un avión sin alas
Que se estrella en medio de mi corazón
Porque desde que te fuiste
Las mañanas son tan tristes
Y las noches.. eternas compañeras
Desde que tu te marchaste
Ya no hay música en el aire
Y las estrellas son sueños que no llegan
Y yo te seguiré esperando cada dÃa
Por si alguna vez decides regresar
Y te juro que no habrá mas pesadillas
Ni mareas que nos puedan separar
[Alex Ubago - Cada DÃa]
I love that song. I love that man. Ahhh :)

I was so excited when I saw this song on the song list for Musically Challenged. This is one of my favorite summer tunes. It brings back a one of my most fun summer memories of the Jersey Shore. When I was in jr. high, my best friend Lori and I went to Belmar with her older brother. It was one of our first independent jaunts. We had a blast on the beach and then even more fun at the boardwalk. Anthony won this Steve Miller Band 8 track tape. all of a sudden a huge down pour started and within an hour the streets of Belmar were flooded. It felt like hours to get out of town, the whole time we were listening to The Joker. This is my grinner, lover, sinner, joker, smoker and midnight toker ;o)
Some people call me the space cowboy yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
Cause' I speak of the pompetous of love
People talk about me baby
Say I'm doin' you wrong, doin' you wrong
But don't you worry baby don't worry
Cause' I'm right here at home
Cause' I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
playin' my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a mid-night toker
I get my lovin' on the run
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
You're the cutest thing that I ever did see
I really love your peaches
Want to shake your tree
Lovey dovey, lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time
Ooh wee baby, I sure show you a good time
Cause' I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
playin'my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a mid-night toker
I sure don’t want to hurt no one
(solo)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
People keep talkin' about me baby
Say I'm doin' you wrong
Well don't you worry, don't worry, no don't worry mama
Cause' I'm right here at home
You're the cutest thing I ever did see
Really love your peaches want to shake your tree
Lovey dovey, lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time
Come on baby now, I'll show you a good time

Also for FGR / Vintage Feel (provided by a couple of Pareeerica's textures)
And because I bought this iTunes card as a gift yesterday and it's too cute to give away before using as a prop a couple of times.
Two weeks in NOLA for the mardi gras 2017
Founded in 1993, the Krewe of Orpheus takes its name from the musically-inclined son of Zeus and Calliope. Founding members included Harry Connick, both the junior and senior.
In New Orleans, the krewe established themselves as a superkrewe with their first parade in 1994, which rolled with 700 riders. They were the first super Krewe to allow both male and female riders.
The Krewe's throws include a number of popular items including emblem beads, stuffed animals, signature beads, light-up Orpheus medallion beads, cups, three different types of doubloons, and 4-foot-long stuffed dragons.
They have a number of notable floats including the Dolly Trolley, the horse-drawn bus that was used in the opening of Hello Dolly with Barbra Streisand, the Smoking Mary which is a six unit float that looks like a steam locomotive, a Trojan horse and the Orpheus Leviathan Float, which is a three unit, 139-foot float, and the first Carnival float to use extensive fiber optic lighting.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Fats Domino wass the honorary grand marshall for 2014. His eldest son, Antoine Domino III, rode in the parade and perform his 85 year old father's music.
In addition to Fats Domino, Quentin Tarantino reigned as the krewe's celebrity monarch.
For musically talented Barossa Valley local, Sam Brittain, story-telling is exactly that. Since releasing his debut LP ‘Our Shining Skin’ on June 1, 2012, the path to success for the gifted and independent musician has transformed into a never-ending road. First picking up a guitar at the age of three and additionally turning his hand to the piano and drums,
In 2013, Sam is an unstoppable, roots, folk and blues artist, reminiscent of sounds such as Damien Rice, Glen Hansard and Ryan Adams. Sam supported close friend and musical influence, Mike Rosenberg (Passenger) at Adelaide-based Fowlers Live, as an integral part of Mike’s ‘All the Little Lights’ album tour, a highlight of Sam’s career to date.
The recording of ‘Our Shining Skin’ saw Sam and his band work endlessly with the talented Barossa-based Jamie Blechynden of Stella Studios and VJ productions. Supported by BJ Barker (drums), Steve Flemming (bass) and Glen Wagland (engineer), tracking the backbone of all 12 songs took a mere two days to complete. ‘Our Shining Skin’ quickly earned impressive reviews and was labelled as a ‘formidable and wide spreading resume’ for Sam (Timber and Steel, August, 2012).
Kicking off an Australian tour, Sam officially released the highly anticipated album at a sold out show on June 9, 2012, held at the Chateau’s acoustically brilliant ‘Long Room’. In June and July 2012, Sam crossed the country, delighting crowds and building his fan base in Melbourne, Hobart, Darwin and Adelaide, including an unforgettable sold out show with Sam’s full band at the prominent Adelaide venue, the Promethean Theatre on September 27, 2012.
Marking the beginning of what’s set to be a milestone year and following a hugely successful first tour, Sam’s lead single ‘Bruises’ hit #1 on the Triple J Unearthed Roots Chart on New Year’s Eve, 2012/13, where it consolidated its lead for a consecutive four weeks, peaking at #6 in the Overall Top 100.
2013 saw Sam embark on a 16 date tour once again supporting new age folk music legend Mike Rosenberg (Passenger).

Wake up to a sunny day
not a cloud up in the sky,
then it starts to rain
My defenses hit the ground, And they shatter all around.
So open and exposed.
I found strength in the struggle. Face to face with my trouble.

I've been going through a tough time with dealing with the fact that Bear needs to be put to sleep. He started grinding his teeth today, a sign of pain.
but there is light at the end of the tunnel and I know he'll go to rainbow bridge soon and be happy.
on a lighter and better note...
I must have a magnetic radar that directs my eye to beautiful lighted areas like this one. you will never guess where i found this beauty...... by the clubhouse in my neighborhood as I was driving home. I was like: OH!
anyways, me and La Salsera ♥ are going to train together via internet. She's going to be my training buddy, She has to train for a 5k feb 13, and I have to look stunning at my sister's wedding in August. my sister more or less said that it was up to me if i wanted to look ugly compared to the other girls in the bridal party. (bridezilla threatened me with the photographer!)
anyways I hope I can start small and work my way up to the crazy stuff. but for now i think I'll start my watching biggest loser re-runs while on the gazelle.
I can't wait to get back to school. I miss classes already. I cant wait to start service learning with my photography teacher. its almost like: Finally! I can do service learning that i like to do instead of i have to do!
anyways I have to begin a "how to use Flickr" tutorial for Mac and PC. if there is one that already exists.... show me! thanks!
