I spent some quality time on the ADF website last night, doing some work on tonight's Wild Hare Samhain ritual (I am not a member, but triadruid is, and was kind enough to let me use his login to poke about), and discovered that they've got audio files of a very musical-sounding fellow speaking useful ritual words in Welsh. So I learned some of them, what fun! (No, really. Seriously. Welsh = fun sounds in my mouth.)

So I was thinking to myself that I should learn to speak Welsh. I mean, it's exactly the sort of skill that I can get excited about having: It'd be fun to practice, I could pretend that it's religiously motivated, and it would be almost completely useless in day to day existence. What could be better than that?

I have just added "watching Shatner films in Esperanto" to the list of things I hope I never have to do. Who knew that such a thing even existed?

Aside from that, though, I rather like close-harmony singing, and appreciate the link.

Let's see Mel Gibson make an entire film in Esperanto

Though I have never actually seen Incubus, I have purchased it as a gag-birthday gift after it came out on DVD. I expect it's noted in the Geneva Convention and is probably being used on people in Guantanamo.

Close harmony singing is indeed a good thing, despite what Black Adder says.

No. That one guy that doesn't need any encouragement to create hours upon hours of snail-paced storyline and con some poor schmuck of a producer into fronting the deal.

Keep in mind that the man's recovering from alcoholism, and he's likely to obsess on something just like that to keep his mind off of wanting the booze.

Once more, just for good measure, No.
