https://hildigunnur.wordpress.com/on-myself
A composer of classical music, a singer, a teacher, a wife and mom (3 great kids and world’s best husband), an active blogger and ircster, a decent amateur cook, a wine snob. Pretty far left in politics. And more. Responses to “About me”. Feed for this Entry. 2007-09-22 kl. 04:11. I used an online dictionary, but decided I may be writing something that I least expect! I am also a teacher, have three great kids (and one great dog) and am pretty far left! What is an ircster? Thanks for your time. Kerry.

Day #17. Nope, not home yet | computernerd composer
https://hrunars.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/day-17-nope-not-home-yet
Day #16. Uncertainty. Day #18 – not planned. Day #17. Nope, not home yet. September 2, 2010. Can’t say I slept properly on the Abu Dhabi-London flight, mostly 10-15 minutes at a time. But the flight went well, and not a mention of ash in the in-flight messages until right at the end when we had to fly an extra round about Heathrow Airport since it was newly opened and there was a queue of planes to land. Never seen before how Iceland’s name looks in arabic:. This here was a lovely sight:. A quick trip do...

our new concert hall | computernerd composer
https://hrunars.wordpress.com/2011/05/01/our-new-concert-hall
Day #18 – not planned. Our new concert hall. May 1, 2011. Anyway, the concert halls and conference centers are pretty well full booked for the next year already, apparently. Do take a look here. We’re totally excited! Responses to “our new concert hall”. Feed for this Entry. May 2, 2011 at 2:32 pm. Well, I don’t have doubts that those abroad who bought tickets for Jonas Kaufmann’s concert want to use their tickets, actually there should be hardly any other reason to buy a ticket, or :-)?

Newer posts →. July 27, 2013 · 5:07 pm. Masters of polyptoton John F. Kennedy and David Ben-Gurion. This is a word. I’ve been needing to know, in the same way where you see a particular object everywhere but have no idea what it’s called. I finally learned it while reading Fiona Maazel’s. New novel, “Woke Up Lonely.”. The example Maazel gives of a polyptoton is John Kennedy’s exhortation, “Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate.”. It was a knotty problem for the Jews in Pa...

https://davidwrotethis.wordpress.com/2013/06/12/again-with-allan-sherman
An altogether amazing story →. June 12, 2013 · 8:38 pm. Again with Allan Sherman. I recently interviewed Mark Cohen, whose terrific new biography of Allan Sherman is Overweight Sensation: The Life and Comedy of Allan Sherman. Sherman was the song parodist who sold millions of records briefly in the 1960s, Cohen’s contention is that Sherman’s work — My Son, The Folk Singer, etc. — helped invent the modern Jewish personality. The transcript of the full interview with Mark is here. Tagged as Allan Sherman.

Again with Allan Sherman. 8216;Polyptoton’ →. July 4, 2013 · 3:26 pm. An altogether amazing story. In 1943, a letter arrived. The letter was nothing less than a wake up call to mankind to the unseen forces in our world. What made the letter different from anything else that showed up at Amazing Stories, was that the letter writer, Richard Sharpe Shaver, insisted that it was not fiction. He held that he had direct experience of the caverns and the mind-influencing machinery. Fanzine, dedicated to the Shav...

an eruption – AGAIN! | computernerd composer
https://hrunars.wordpress.com/2011/05/22/an-eruption-again
An eruption – AGAIN! May 22, 2011. Yep, easier to say Grímsvötn than Eyjafjallajökull though. Way easier. Anyway, this is the largest eruption in Grímsvötn for at least the last 100 years. Also seems to be quite a bit more powerful than last year’s thing. Hopefully shorter lived, though. Photo borrowed from ruv.is. 8211; hope they won’t mind the hotlink). Also interesting to follow the iceberg lagoon live broadcast here. Responses to “an eruption – AGAIN! Feed for this Entry. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.
