Poe was a really fantastic writer all around IMO. He is often criticized for being "self-indulgent," but I like it when people indulge~ + Show Spoiler + One of my secret dreams is to be able to talk like a Poe character in every day speech huehue He doesn't get as much cred as he deserves in "serious" literary criticism/studies imo imo.

A part with cello-obligatto to violin melody enchanted me, and the oh so awesome french horn solo before the second to last finale... Then a professional pianist joined in for one of Rachmaninovs piano concertos. I found that it got much better when I closed my eyes. I also found out that I slumbered to, when the orchestra joined in for a crescendo... In other news, I'm thinking about arranging twinkle twinkly little star for jazz orchestra. :D How could you fall asleep in a Rachmainoff piano concerto D: | ||

this is coming from someone who hated 99% of K-12 english and has avoided any sort of formal literature course since oh man so our Honors English class. It was far easier than our regular english, since it was taught by this old lady who basically didn't even grade you on anything. No one did any reading for the class, except me. And I did it during class because I was so bored. The problem was the reading selection: Willa Cather. I will be truly amazed if anyone here has heard of Willa Cather; she wrote about life on the prairie in the 1800s. WE READ THREE OF HER NOVELS. NONE WERE INTERESTING. i mean, that was the entire first semester the second semester was Romeo & Juliet and Tale of Two Cities | ||

Silence removes all modification text from the creature (minion?), even any buffs or debuffs applied. I've learned a lot about Hearthstone just from watching streams lol. | ||

I've found all the Dickens that I've read kinda boring =[ | ||
