Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque - Brunei (by Bernard Spragg. NZ)Â
when I was younger I didnât understand why âmay you live in interesting timesâ was considered a curse in ancient greece.
I get it now.
Fun Random Facts About the LOTR Soundtrack
Most composers spend just 10-12ish weeks working on a filmâs music. John Williams spent around 14 weeks on each Star Wars movie, 40ish weeks total for the whole OTâŚâŚbut composing the LOTR trilogyâs soundtrack took four years
The vocals you hear in the soundtrack are usually in one of Tolkienâs languages (esp. Elvish). The English translations of the lyrics are all poems, or quotes from the book, or occasionally even quotes from other parts of the films that are relevant to the scene
When there were no finished scenes for him to score, Howard Shore would develop musical themes inspired by the scripts or passages from the book. Thatâs how he got all Middle-Earth locations have their own unique sound: he was able to compose drafts of âwhat Gondor would sound likeâ and âwhat Lorien would sound likeâ long before any scenes in those places were filmed
Shore has said his favorite parts to score were always the little heartfelt moments between Frodo and Sam
Shore wrote over 100 unique leitmotifs/musical themes to represent specific people, places, and things in Middle Earth (over 160 if you count The Hobbit)
The ones we all talk about are the Fellowship theme, the main Shire Theme, and the themes for places like Gondor, Mordor, Rohan, and RivendellâŚbut a lot of the more subtle ones get overlooked and underappreciated
Like Aragornâs theme. Itâs a lot less âobviousâ than the others because, like Aragorn himself, it adapts to take on the color of whatever place Aragorn is in: itâs played on dramatic broody stringed instruments in Bree, on horns in battle scenes, softly on the flute with Arwen in RivendellâŚ.
Eowyn has not just one but three different leitmotifs to represent her
Gollum and Smeagol both have their own leitmotifs! Whose theme music is playing in the scene can often tell you whether the Gollum or Smeagol side is âwinningâ at the moment
The melody for Gollumâs Song in the end credits of the The Two Towers is the Smeagol and Gollum themes smushed together (itâs Symbolic)
And then thereâs the really obscure ones. Like thereâs a melody that plays at Boromirâs death that shows up again in ROTK in scenes that foreshadow a major death or loss
Wikipedia actually has a list of these leitmotifs, click this link and scroll down to check it out if youâre bored
Shore wanted the theme music to grow alongside the charactersâ so that as the characters changed, their theme music would change with them. Â
You can hear that most clearly in the Shire theme. Like the hobbits, it goes through A LotÂ
Like compare the childish lil penny whistle theme you hear in Concerning Hobbits/the beginning of FOTR with (throws a dart at random Beautiful Tragic Hobbit Character Development scene because there WAY TOO MANY to choose from) the scene when Pippin finds Merry on the battlefield, where you hear a kind of shattered and broken but more mature version of that same theme in the backgroundÂ
I could write you a book on how much I love the way the Shire theme grows across the course of these filmsÂ
Unlike the heroâs themes, which constantly change and grow, the villainâs themes (The One Ring theme, the Isengard theme, etc) remain basically the same from the very beginning of FOTR to the end of ROTK. Shore said this was an intentional choice: to emphasize that evil is static, while good is capable of change
Shore has said that between all the music that made into the movies and the music that didnât, he composed enough for âa month of continuous listeningââŚâŚ..where can I sign up
this is so pure

A quick reminder for folks in the US: if you haven't seen anything about ACA open enrollment this year, that is by design. Secretary Azar wants to lower enrollment numbers to justify pulling funds from medicare/medicaid. Here are your dates:
And the link.
The 2020 Open Enrollment Period runs from Friday, November 1, 2019, to Sunday, December 15, 2019. If you donât act by December 15, you canât get 2020 coverage unless you qualify for a special enrollment period. Plans sold during Open Enrollment start January 1, 2020.
me putting a comma where it doesnât belong: itâs sexy, itâs spicy, it adds a twist, a little color, a little interest
just called my mouth guard my tooth mask
I literally cannot overstate how important creative hobbies are when dealing with mental illness. If you canât draw, there are coloring books. If you canât write a novel, you can write in short journaling bursts. If you canât sing in the shower, you can listen to music. Sometimes with mental illness it feels like we have this dark presence inside of us that is bumping around in our brain and organs, causing problems. It helps immensely to let it out.

This doom she chose, forsaking the Blessed Realm, and putting aside all claim to kinship with those that dwelt there; that thus whatever grief might lie in wait the fates of Beren and LĂşthien might be joined, and their paths lead together beyond the confines of the world. So it was that alone of the EldaliĂŤ she has died indeed, and left the world long ago. Yet in her choice the Two Kindreds have been joined; she is the forerunner of many in whom the Eldar see yet, though all the world is changed, the likeness of LĂşthien the beloved, whom they have lost.ďżź
The Silmarillion
westerosi house words, rated
House Bolton: âOur Blades Are Sharpâ
solid but workmanlike house words. good implicit threat. could have been a bit more poetic, but then again, so could most of the Boltons 7/10
House Greyjoy: âWe Do Not Sowâ
really just a sentence that deserves a polite âoh?â in response 3/10
House Lannister: âHear Me Roar!â
a good and fearsome lion image, but undercut by the exclamation point which frankly by lannister standards is trying too hard. if you asked tywin lannister about this, he would tell you with quiet irritation that the exclamation point was not his doing 9/10
House Arryn: âAs High as Honorâ
very poetic and elegant, and a nice reference to the Eyrie. clearly means to instill admiration rather than fear, and it works. unfortunately, also invites humorous drug-related double entendres 8/10
House Tyrell: âGrowing Strongâ
needs serious reconsideration! implies that house tyrell is not already strong! all for the sake of a weak pastoral pun! 2/10
House Stark: âWinter is Comingâ
unbelievably goth. not only promises the destruction of you and all your loved ones but also possibly of the starks and all their loved ones. the ultimate buckle the fuck up house words 11/10
House Tarly: âFirst in Battleâ
nicely aggressive! but ambiguous. does this mean house tarly is first onto the field, or first numerically when the winners are ranked, because thatâs not really how battles work. it must also be said that these house words sound like a high school superlative. 6/10
House Targaryen: âFire and Bloodâ
good use of dramatic standalone nouns. very threatening, if a tad unhinged, which is a decent summation of house targaryen. at least theyâre honest about it 8/10
House Martell: âUnbowed, Unbent, Unbrokenâ
are you tho.
9/10 if read alone but 5/10 when read with the cruel dramatic irony of the series
House Tully: âFamily, Duty, Honorâ
the worse of the two mottos separated by two commas. unlike âFire and Blood,â none of these nouns is romantic or exciting enough to inspire my loyalty. sounds vaguely like a westerosi sequel to eat pray love 4/10
House Baratheon: âOurs is the Furyâ
the perfect house words. confident, dynamic, and unifying. also thrillingly catchy and filled with the thirst of war itself. would be so satisfying to scream before riding onto a battlefield 10/10Â
House Wode: âTouch Me Notâ
same. 15/10
Iâve always gotten the impression that the Lannisters came up with their words mere seconds before the deadline, and then someone came up with âA Lannister Always Pays His Debts several months later in the shower
Everyone knows that on Uber/Lyft you should always give the driver five stars unless they, like, drive the car into the ocean or something, right? You canât say âthe ride was fine, nothing special, so I gave them three stars,â because the company will punish them for being anything less than perfect.
Well, you should know that the same rule goes for any kind of customer service survey. Unless the service you received was unacceptable, give them 5/5 or 10/10 or whatever. Itâs annoying, because it ruins the sensitivity of the survey, but itâs how itâs gotta be. 9/10 gets treated like a problem and 6/10 gets treated like a disaster.  Understand this and do the workers a favor by grading easy.

norman reedus and his son mingus dont look related at all
this looks like matty b raps took a blind homeless man to a basketball game instead of a nice family photo
fuck you thats not his name
what do i have to gain by lying on this site? what the fuck is in it for me? fame? fortune? clout? meaningless distractions. there is no pleasure greater than the knowledge of mingus lucien reedusâ true name. and as i have suffered to gain this, so too shall you all. live as a flagellant and bleed in his name. our lord, mingus.
The Reedus familyâs cat also has a weird ass name but the story is so cute and Norman is a great father omg
Chaotic good
how do people have consistent fun at parties . like donât they get hit with periodic waves of debilitating melancholy and subsequently need to sit outside and think abt how theyâre going 2 die alone . or is that just me and the guy from the National
