Juli 2009 01:30:36 -0400 regarding REAP: > pina bausch. 68, choreographer: > http://www.imdb.com/news/ni0863294/ I've been meaning to reap her myself. Wuppertal, where her Tanztheater is based, is really close to Cologne, but I regret to say that I never saw any of her productions there. I did see her once though, in St. Petersburg, of all places. I spent a week there with my girlfriend at the time, and we wanted to see Russian ballet. It was during the summer break, however, so there were no regular productions. But there was some kind of talent festival, and Pina Bausch was head of the jury. Fascinating story, right? I never really got dance as an art form, but what I've seen on TV of her productions makes me think that I could relate to her style more easily than to classical ballet. OTOH, after I learned that Joss Whedon is into ballet big time, I've been meaning to familiarize myself a little more with it. - -- Sebastian Hagedorn Am alten Stellwerk 22, 50733 Kvln, Germany http://www.uni-koeln.de/~a0620/ "Being just contaminates the void" - Robyn Hitchcock ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 4 Jul 2009 06:53:50 -0700 From: kevin studyvin Subject: Re: REAP > OTOH, after I learned that Joss Whedon is into ballet big time, I've been > meaning to familiarize myself a little more with it. > -- > Sebastian Hagedorn > Am alten Stellwerk 22, 50733 Kvln, Germany > http://www.uni-koeln.de/~a0620/ > "Being just contaminates the void" - Robyn Hitchcock > How off-kilter is my process?

'But the only thing worse than being miserable is sentimentalizing misery as a desired state.' " (i often love the insight of depressives, although, admittedly, there must be a level of depression that precludes much insight or the desire for self-reflection.) "As a courtship present, Murdoch made her a replica of the New York Herald Tribune T-shirt Seberg wore in the opening shot of Breathless. ('I may have also done that for an earlier girlfriend, Murdoch admitted sheepishly.)' " ** there *is* a logic buried somewhere in this statement which is that both the new yorker and the sunday times never fail to remind me of my parents' house, both growing up there, and after i moved out, and would go over and spend sunday afternoons or evenings over at the house (and besides the things to read, i'd often get a home-cooked dinner to boot (not to mention access to (free!) laundry facilities.))) the new yorker or a some section of the times (best case scenario was the sunday magazine and heading straight to "the ethicist") was always the first thing i would grab to read. for as long as i can remember, they've just part of the landscape of the family home (i was *very* glad my father didn't cancel either one after my mother died.) as ever, lauren - -- "people with opinions just go around bothering one another." -- the buddha ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:15:50 -0500 From: 2fs Subject: Re: (Before and after) Science On Sat, Jul 4, 2009 at 1:21 PM, lep wrote: > kevin studyvin says: > > The new New Yorker just arrived. > > speaking of the new yorker**, this past sunday's NYT magazine had an > article on stuart murdoch. > > http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/28/magazine/28Murdoch-t.html > > I am now imagining an alternate universe in which it is Rupert, not Stuart, Murdoch who heads Belle and Sebastian. - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.wordpress.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 4 Jul 2009 16:36:17 EDT From: HwyCDRrev@aol.com Subject: REAP http://www.examiner.com/x-2082-Beatles-Examiner~y2009m7d4-Allen-Klein-whose- clients-included-the-Beatles-and-Rolling-Stones-dies?cid=examiner-email my blog is "Yer Blog" http://fab4yerblog.blogspot.com/ http://robotsarestealingmyluggage.blogspot.com/ **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
