"Porthos dreams of being a bear, and you want to shatter those dreams by saying he’s just a dog? What a horrible candle-snuffing word. That’s like saying, “He can’t climb that mountain, he’s just a man”, or “That’s not a diamond, it’s just a rock.” Just."

Imagine

If there is one scene of Glee that everybody should have seen it's this one.

On a different note, it's so hot I can't practise guitar. And my neck is stiff. Ouch.

So-La-Fa-Ti...

Blergh. My throat hurts and I feel like I'm coming down with something. I've been sipping tea all morning. Yay for random weather changes! I really don't feel like studying but it can't be helped...exam's in four weeks! OMG.

Anyway, because watching this video always makes me feel better (and I watch it approximately once a day) I bring you "a drop of golden sun". :-)

If this video doesn't put a smile on your face, I don't know what will :-)

FilkCONtinental 2007. Sort Of A Report (With Photos)

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

I've never been particularly good with reports, and for full ones please see other filkers' journals - they had a day more, and probably saw more of the con in general, too.

I kept alternating between my bed and the music hall mostly, missing some great performances from Dave Weingart for example. But what can you do when you're ill, and you don't want to be a complete wreck by Sunday when you've got your own set to play.

Still, I managed to see and hear many things and take some photos :-)

Got an early birthday present from

Still ill, still got a stomach ache. Crap.

Have You Seen This Film?

I think my oesophagus is infected again. I'm currently trying to do damage control by taking pain killers, but if it doesn't go away soon I'll have to see the doctor. Bollocks.

QUESTION:
I'm looking for this film that I used to love when I was younger, and I have no clue what it was called. I've searched the internet but without result, so maybe you guys can help me?

It was a western film, set shortly before or in the civil war (I think it was the civil war). The main characters were a family of Mormons. The mother was really religious, preaching "no violence" all day. The father I recall would run races with his carriage every Sunday on his way to church, much to his wife's distress (and he secretly bought a harmonium). One of my favourite scenes I remember was when the family went to a Mormonist church where everybody prayed in silence, and from across the field you could hear the singing and cheering of the Baptist church. The Mormon boy was always wistfully glancing over to the Baptist church. In the end war came to their house... and the rest I can't remember. All I recall is that in the end the "no violence" was so fed up with the goose she hit the poor thing with a broom and felt terribly guilty for it.

Sound familiar to anyone?

Much, much love to
