Wol Euler: buongiorno, qt
Qt Core: good morning Wol
Qt Core: i'm yet to choose the day mood, bad as i didn't go out with my bicycle as i awoke too late or good as i slept well and long
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: it is indeed up to you
Qt Core: third choice uncertain and out of place all day
Wol Euler: or good that you slept long and well, and better that you went out later with your bicycle
Qt Core: that's an option too
Wol Euler: given those three choices, I personally would go for good+better
Qt Core: we'll see what the afternoon permits
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: I hope it works out
Agatha Macbeth: Hello :)
Wol Euler: good morning, aggers
Qt Core: hello Agatha
--BELL--
Agatha Macbeth: Are we well?
Wol Euler: headache but otherwise fine
Wol Euler: I seem to have slept crookedly
Agatha Macbeth: Aww
Wol Euler: and you?
Agatha Macbeth: I'm good
Qt Core: i'm good (and slept well, even too well)
Agatha Macbeth: Yay
Qt Core: who would not like him as a grandfather ? http://www.wimp.com/sageadvice/
Agatha Macbeth: You look very baggy Wollie
Wol Euler: heheheh
Wol Euler: thanks, feeling lazy and sloppy and a little chilly today
Qt Core: that phrase sounds way better in english, it italian is longer and not so well suited to be shouted
Wol Euler grins.
Agatha Macbeth: I prefer him with his hat on
Wol Euler: the beard is also missing
Qt Core: but the kids are the right size for hobbits
Wol Euler: heheh
Wol Euler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlbunmCbTBA
Wol Euler: my current favourite song, from 1977
Agatha Macbeth: Never heard of them unfortunately
Qt Core: very nice
Wol Euler: well, they weren't around for long. Two years, two albums, this was the last
Agatha Macbeth: Hm
Qt Core: someone had to remember the guy at the front to eat sometimes
Agatha Macbeth nods
--BELL--
Qt Core: just noticed the length
Agatha Macbeth: 0.0
Wol Euler smiles.
Qt Core: so one can immerse himself in the mood
Qt Core: like in a semi-meditative state ?
Agatha Macbeth: Mood is all important
Wol Euler: that's how I take it, yes
Agatha Macbeth pokes Wol's stripey socks
Qt Core: then only indtrumental is better for that, but for me this is almost an instrumental piece as i'm having great issues understanding his english ;-)
Wol Euler: I like the seagull-sounding bit around 8:50
Wol Euler: so did I at first, his accent and his style of speech are very odd
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe he's Polish
Wol Euler: American-born, just a sloppy speaker I think
Agatha Macbeth: Great, make him president
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: anyway, I remembered that song at work, out of the blue
Wol Euler: hadn't thought of it in all these years
Qt Core: as for wikipedia they are stilla ctive
Wol Euler: huh
Qt Core: ok, disbanded in 78 and reformed in 92
Qt Core: it seems i eat a little since then: http://listeningroom.lohudblogs.com/...-tom-verlaine/
Qt Core: * he
Agatha Macbeth: Good old Tom
Wol Euler: I suppose this demoonstrates the weakness of wikipedia compared to edited media: the wikipedia article on Tom Verlaine doesn't know that the band reformed.
Agatha Macbeth: Loved his poetry
Wol Euler nods.
Qt Core: huh ? i got thet from the wiki page
Qt Core: second last paragraph of the history section
Wol Euler: *his* wiki page or the band's?
Qt Core: the bad
Qt Core: the band one
Wol Euler: right, that's waht I meant. He also has a page, and I went to that since I knew his name
Agatha Macbeth: The good the band an the ugly
--BELL--
Qt Core: he is good ad playing he is in a bad and honestly quite ugly, it is him!
Agatha Macbeth nods
Wol Euler: heheh
Agatha Macbeth: Think he was a friend of Patti Smith
Wol Euler nods.
Qt Core: that make me think about this song "Una donna per amico" (a woman as a friend) (horrible formatting i know): http://www.beginningwithi.com/2007/0...nna-per-amico/
Wol Euler looks
Agatha Macbeth: He even grew a mustache for the occasion apparently
Qt Core: as the page says Mogol and Battisti wrote some, many of the best italian songs from the late '60 onward
Wol Euler smiles.
Qt Core: yes, it feel wery weird to see those on his face
Agatha Macbeth: Needs a sombrero to go with it
--BELL--
Qt Core: this is his more usual (childish ?) look "Acqua azzurra, acqua chiara" (blue water, clear water): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqeuE6hW6UM
Agatha Macbeth: Nice scarf
Qt Core: he often wore one
Wol Euler smiles.
Qt Core: i really like this not at the end of song translation: eventualmente – Here’s an example of a “false friend” – a word so closely related to one in your own language that you think you know how to use it, but you’d be wrong. (Italians trip going the other way.) “Eventually” in English means “in the long run,” or “after some time.” Eventualmente in Italian means “if that should be the case”, “if need be”.
Agatha Macbeth: The fun of language eh
Qt Core: yes, this week i was wondering about "dove", in english is the bird in italian means "where"
Wol Euler nods.
Agatha Macbeth grins
Wol Euler: although the pronunciation is very different
Qt Core: for me english is almost only a written language ;-)
Wol Euler: mmhmm :)
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe works better that way
Qt Core: i think so, with its horrible spelling (or pronunciation if you would see it from the other side) rules...
Agatha Macbeth: Non existent rules more like
Wol Euler: my dears, I'm sorry to break up the party but I will have to leave at the next bell, to get ready for work
Agatha Macbeth: Aww
Qt Core: ok, i have to leave too, usual problem, precure food for lunch ;-)
Agatha Macbeth likes QT's problem better
Wol Euler: heheheh
Wol Euler: agreed
Wol Euler: I'd rather be shopping and cooking too
Qt Core: well, in the end not so different from Wol's... should be working to get the money for ingredients added to most recipes ?
Wol Euler: enjoy the day, my dears
Agatha Macbeth: TC Wollie
Wol Euler: like some recipes list cooking and prep times
Wol Euler: "it will take you three hours of work to earn the money to buy this stuff"
Agatha Macbeth: If you're Bill Gates, that would be some meal
Agatha Macbeth: More like a banquet
Qt Core: for 50 people
Qt Core: bye Wol, have fun, btw
Wol Euler waves and poofs away
Agatha Macbeth: Ciao QT
--BELL--
Qt Core: bye
