Earlier today, I had an idea for an entry. I forgot what that was. So now we have an ask Yaniv session! Ask questions, and I'll answer!

Oh, and my mood is lethargic. I don't really know what it means, and I'm too lazy to find out. I just like the way it sounds.

Why are you so closed-minded to music other than classic/psychadelic rock?

yonthecob September 5 2005, 06:16:53 UTC

I'm not closed-minded, really. When I say stuff like "that's crap" or "I hate XXX", I really just mean that I prefer classic rock and would rather listen to that. Unless you're talking about rap or most of hip-hop, which I don't like. And many modern rock bands hardly have any musical identity. They're just guitarists who play whatever chords they happen to have their fingers on, sing lyrics that they find deep but are really make no sense, and generally aren't the type of thing I go for ( ... )

I see your point, but that just amplifies your ignorance to modern music, and the music I listen to. No offense meant by that statement ( ... )

You misread, then. I didn't say that I think all modern bands are the hard-chord, superfluous tye. I recognize that there are plenty of other bands who can play music well and have an identity. Simply, I still rather listen to the bands of the sixtys and seventies. It's a matter of taste.

Oh, and I have no doubt that I'd like the songs. Odds are, though, that I'll like classics better.

"I just like the way it sounds."

I hope you imagined it mispronounced, by a South African.

I have nothing at all to ask of you.

Come on, Steven! Get in touch with your inner Curious George!

This is what I do picarpo September 7 2005, 04:22:43 UTC

I looked on Wikipedia, because I thought there might be some bullshit about deep meaning in Curious George. What do you know.Interpretations

A small handful of scholars believe there is a racist undertone to "Curious George". The book, written in France, tells of a monkey with human-like characteristics, who is brought into civilization. The Man in the Yellow Hat must rescue the helpless monkey as he creates blunders in his new environment. Some see this as a metaphor for the "civilizing" of Africans into European culture.

On an allegorical level, it could be (and has been) argued that when George lives in Africa, his life is simple and carefree, and thus representative of the womb; the man in the yellow hat is a kindly, but stern paternal figure who takes him from this place and into the real world: the big city is the place where we all grow up. This interpretation probably accounts for its continued popularity, and skirts the issue of representing a benevolent kidnapper.
But I actually have a question. "Earlier today, I had an ( ... )

Yes. I was driving home from somewhere, and a few thoughts crossed my mind, one of which was something like "man, I should make an update on my LJ with this. It's been a while since I had anything good up there." Later that night I decided to update, and wallah!-- I forgot what I wanted to talk about.

Hey, what do you know. After checking out dictionary.com, it turns out that Lethargic is the perfect adjective for that mood!
