Hello???
Hey you, it's late, the club's closing, I don't want to be alone...
click-click
Can I come over?
true romance consists of a girl crossing her legs like a lady and a guy crossing his legs like a man.
and a fireplace.
Her watch is ON! As part of our new strategy to lure Frog Prince down from high on the window panes, note the lamp. It is on the floor, as close to the door glass as the electric cord will safely allow. When Bella gets excited, I would not want the lamp to perish in a shower of broken glass and Bella sustain injury in pursuit of her Froggy companion.
It is beyond my energy to lift a 20 pound dog (after dinner) above my head and hold her there while she moons over a green tree frog that could sit comfortably in a teaspoon. Thus the plan, when they go high, we go low.......
I'll keep you posted on the result of this strategy.

(or: Your SL with a Grain of Salt)
Hubert Crackanthorpe: You better hold on tightly to this rocket, Buns, until we are at Dollholic. By the way: you just lost Bunicornbuns and your purse.
Bunbuns: I am sorry, Daddy, but I am spotting a pimple. First things first. I am in a bit of a panic right now. Can't have an ugly Buns.
Hubert Crackanthorpe: A pimple? You're worried about a pimple?! Look at yourself. You're CRACKED, Buns. Like a porcelain doll. You already fell off twice while waving at those teleporting sex tourists from Mumbai.
Bunbuns: But... that's good right...Daddy? You said so the other day. It was some compliment you gave me.
Hubert Crackanthorpe: I said *terrible engine noise* 'you s*ck like a cr*ck wh*re', Buns. Something entirely different.
Bunbuns: Oh. Really? The things I learn from you, Daddy! *smiles happily and focuses on the pimple*

I love how you can escape into a good book. But what about a good peice of music? Form and anaylsis for music taught me how to follow music in a whole new way and to appreciate a good written piece. What is a good peice? Something that intrinsically touches your soul to the end where you MUST seek further knowings about it so you may be at peace with yourself.
I've had many songs do that for me.... take me a away into a whole other realm of being where I am free, light and confident.
It think that is the true Romance of being a musician,

Spanish postcard in the Collección "Estrellas de actualidad" Cacitel, S.L., no. 98. Patricia Arquette in True Romance (Tony Scott, 1993).
American actress Patricia Arquette (1968) won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Boyhood (2014). She comes from a family of actors, including her sister Rosanna Arquette and first gained attention for her starring role in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987). In the following decade, she appeared in such critically acclaimed films as True Romance (1993), Ed Wood (1994) and Lost Highway (1997). She married and divorced Nicolas Cage and Thomas Jane, but somehow the talented actress never became the major film star many expected her to become. Instead, she became an acclaimed star on television.
Patricia T. Arquette was born in Chicago in 1968. Arquette comes from a family of actors. Her father is actor Lewis Arquette, and her grandfather is comedian Cliff Arquette, best known in the United States for playing Charlie Weaver on the comedy quiz show Hollywood Squares. Her mother, Mardi, is not an actress. Her older sister Rosanna and her three brothers, Alexis (who died in 2016), Richmond, and David Arquette, also became actors. Patricia spent her childhood with her siblings in a commune near Arlington, Virginia, where she also took acting classes. At the age of 15, she ran away from home to live with her older sister, Rosanna Arquette, for a while. In 1987, she played her first film role in Pretty Smart (Dimitri Logothetis, 1987). Her first leading role came later that year in the Slasher A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 (Chuck Russell, 1987) opposite Robert Englund. Critics consider it one of the best films in the cult series, also due to her acting performance. Her career took off in the 1990s. For her role as a deaf, epileptic girl in the television film Wildflower (Diane Keaton, 1991), she received a CableACE Award. In 1993, she appeared as Alabama Whitman, a free-spirited, kind-hearted prostitute in True Romance (Tony Scott, 1993), based on a screenplay by Quentin Tarantino. The film was a moderate box office success but became a cultural landmark because of Quentin Tarantino's screenplay, which preceded Pulp Fiction. The following year, she played Ed Wood's second wife in Tim Burton's well-received biopic Ed Wood (1994) starring Johnny Depp. In 1995, she received widespread attention for her role in Beyond Rangoon (John Boorman, 1995) and her marriage to film star Nicolas Cage. Her next films included the comedy Flirting with Disaster (David O'Russell, 1996) with Ben Stiller, David Lynch's Neo-Noir psychological thriller Lost Highway (1997), the Western The Hi-Lo Country (Stephen Frears, 1998), and the Horror film Stigmata (Rupert Wainwright, 1999) with Gabriel Byrne. She also appeared in the music video for the Rolling Stones' song 'Like a Rolling Stone'. With Nicolas Cage, she co-starred in Martin Scorsese's film Bringing Out the Dead (1999). The film received highly favourable critical reviews, but was a box office flop.
In the comedy Little Nicky (Steven Brill, 2000), Patricia Arquette played the girl whom the lanky son of the devil, played by Adam Sandler, has a crush on. Despite being a box office hit, the film received negative reviews, although Roger Ebert called it Sandler's best film to date. The following year, she starred in the French American drama Human Nature (2001), the film debut of music video director Michel Gondry. In the film, based on a script by Charlie Kaufman, she played a woman whose body is covered in fur. In 2002, she also began to play a single mother in the coming-of-age film Boyhood (Richard Linklater, 2014). The film was shot intermittently over 12 years, as the boy, played by Eli Coltrane, grew from child to young adult. Arquette played his mother and won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for her role. In 2005, she transitioned to television. In the NBC series Medium (2005-2011), she played Allison DuBois, a psychic who uses her gifts to solve crimes. She received an Emmy Award for Best Actress for her role in 2005 and was nominated three times for a Golden Globe. She continued to work on TV in such series as Boardwalk Empire (2013-2014) and CSI: Cyber (2015-1016). For her roles as a prison worker in the miniseries Escape at Dannemora (Ben Stiller, 2018) and as Dee Dee Blanchard in the miniseries The Act (2019), Arquette won Golden Globe Awards. She also won an Emmy Award for The Act. She can now be seen in the hit series Severance (Ben Stiller, a.o., 2022-2025). Patricia Arquette was married to Nicolas Cage from 1995 to 2001.

The Bridge of Sighs, Venice c. 1913 by Walter Henry Sweet (after John Shapland).
The eloquent delineation of this superb etching, rendered by Walter Henry Sweet (after John Shapland), in the earlier part of his career, depicts ‘The Bridge of Sighs’ in Venice. It forms the spirited ramification of a protracted history in Venetian archictecture and artistic influence, through generations of both Venetian and English architects, artists, writers and one famous lover.
As a celebration of Valentine’s Day, the first part of an historic study by Screaming Abdabs Gallery will be published on 14 February 2018, giving an insight into these individual components, interlaced with additional tales of Venetian prisoners, lovers and how the career of Walter Henry Sweet, an artist of immense potential, was cruelly thwarted by the First World War.
The architect Antonio Contino was commissioned (by the Doge between 1595 and 1614) to design and build this unique 11 meter wide bridge, to provide the much needed access across the narrow Rio di Palazzo canal which flows between the Palazzo Ducale (Doge’s Palace) and the Palazzo delle Prigioni. As both buildings housed chambers of punishment or death they needed a discreet method by which prisoners could be easily commuted between the two locations.
On 26 July 1755 Giacomo Casanova, the infamous Venetian adventurer, writer and lover was arrested on grounds of ‘an affront to religion and common decency’. He subsequently became one of the most famous inmates of the Doge’s Palace. He describes in his ‘Histoire de ma vie’ (History of My Life) of his intrepid escape through the lead roof upon which he re-entered the palace and absconded through the Porta della Carta, hoodwinking a feckless guard on the way. In reference to his love life Casanova wrote, ‘I have loved women to a frenzy’. He is reported to have seduced at least 132 women during his lifetime of 73 years.
The artists Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Tommaso Antonio Visentini, Antonio Canaletto, Joseph Mallord William Turner, John Singer Sargent, Sir Frank William Brangwyn, John Shapland all created their own impressions of the exterior.
The writer Lord Byron, wrote about the bridge in ‘Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage’ canto 4, stanza 1 (1818).
The lover’s challenge. It is rumoured that if lovers manage to kiss one another while gliding under the ‘The Bridge of Sighs’ on a gondola at sunset, to the sound of the chiming bells of St. Mark’s Square, they will be granted eternal love and happiness. The origin of this legend is unknown and the opportunity to plan this romantic scenario is difficult as the bells do not ring on every hour.
This original etching by Walter Henry Sweet of The Bridge of Sighs will be available to purchase at www.screamingabdabs.gallery on 14 February 2018. Signed in pencil by both W H Sweet and John Shapland, on cream laid paper with the blindstamp of the T.S.Long Fine Art Trade Guild below the lower left image corner.
