( favourite fantasy author quizzy ) Some of my favourite "traditional fantasy" authors are Peter s Beagle, Ian McDowell, Steven Brust, Dan Crawford, John Moore, Esther Friesner, Louise Cooper, Dave Duncan, John M Ford, Gardner F Fox, Nina Kiriki Hoffmann, Barry Hughart, Peter Morwood, Dennis Schmidr, Carol Severance, Will Shetterly, Wm Mark Simmons, Jane Lindskold, Steven Erikson, Mike Stackpole, Lawrence Watt-Evans, and Roger Zelazny, amongst lots of others. As you can tell, I do tend to favour the lighter side of fantasy, whilst detesting the more formulaic fantasy. <grin> |

Aug. 16th, 2008 11:50 pmWhilst I may not agree with the detailed explanation of my personality type, it was interesting to see how I compared with the majority of people that did this test. These factors being more appropriate than the conclusion the quizz author has drawn from them. |
trees please

Always liked the rowan tree – almost as much as I dislike rowan berries. For much the same mythological reasons. <grin> If I remember correctly my birth-tree is actually the vine. Now all I have to do is work out where my copy of Doloreaux is to determine the Gifts of the Way of the Rowan. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
five questions memage
Dec. 9th, 2007 01:33 amAccording to 1. If you'd like to participate, leave me a comment of much niftiness This was done, with much aplomb. 2. I will ask you five (5) questions. In return I received the following five questions of such discerning wit and enlightened observation that I shall indeed be hard pressed to answer in a manner worthy of their penetrative nature. Oh dear, I'm channelling Stephen Fry again. And doing a total hash of it, too. 3. You must then go and answer them in your own journal, along with these instructions. Now, how do I answer these instructions? <ducks thrown boot> |
all songs must end
Aug. 17th, 2007 04:13 pmMy mistranslated music quizz has finished. If anyone would like to see the entries (and the answers), they are now unscreened, and the winner is the irrepressable ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small} drjon who managed 9 correct out of 9 attempts.I found it interesting that a lot of people got the song I thought would be hardest (#9) and that it took so long for people to recognise "freedom of choice" (#2). But my favourite tranliteration was of Bowie's Fashion(#7) through Italian – "girisi towards the way of left! girisi towards the Oooh of right ... we are the squad of the goon and we're coming to the Blow-blow of Blow-blow of the city." Maybe next time I'll invoke a thesaurus... |

silly prophecy
Jul. 15th, 2007 06:40 pm| I was playing with making a more difficult music quizzby using babelfish to translate the quoted text into another language (in this case French) and then reverting it to English. However it made it a bit too difficult. However I loved the following translation of The Tea Party's The Grand Bazaar. Originally: Silence swimming in a pool of dreams After a double mechanical translation: Deaden swimming in a swimming pool of the dreams under its depths the jets forgotten above, the city of the evening hold the first role behind its walls, the large bazaar I like it. Now all I need to do is fit it into a game. Perhaps as a prequel to a game of Don't Rest Your Head. |

Post these instructions in your LiveJournal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to." In alphabetical order and subject to change without notice (in fact it already has in the process of writing this), here are the seven songs that have recently stuck in my memory:
Mainly new (or really old) songs I've been listening to recently while I do some rating ofmy music collection, rather than actual old favourites. I hereby tag 7 of my friends. |

Apr. 29th, 2007 05:25 am| Oracles come in many forms, including databases. This one, stolen from molokpv_au, is particularly silly. ( very silly music meme oracle - avoid it if you can ) Actually this meme needs to be reversed. |
