This first one was assigned with the topic in mind of what our worst fears are. My english prof made a joke earlier in the year about not wanting to be old on a porchswing with a wife so I went with that because I am unsure of my worst fear. Worst Fear“Harold,” I look down at my liver-spotted hands. “I hate you,” I say. Possessing malice would have made the statement easier. The porch-swing creaks nonchalantly. “I know dear,” Harold says and pats me gently on the knee. “But what would you do without me?”His cards are played well and I shake my head at my misfortune. The nurse comes by and hands me a plastic cup with a colorful assortment of prescribed toxins. “Come on now. Ms. McDaniel. Take every last one of them.” The nurse speaks to me in a sickeningly fake-cheerful voice. I swallow the pills gulping more audibly than is usually necessary. “That’s right,” the nurse says talking to me as a child or a mentally unsound patient. “What a good sport you are.” And I know that I am old. Very painfully old. I’ve done everything I can to avoid this moment in a most intense display of passive-aggression towards myself. I haven’t had a serious workout routine since high-school. Alcohol is my primary choice to quench a thirsty palate followed closely behind by anything containing aspartame. Nothing that is naturally green is allowed entrance past my teeth. I stand unnecessarily close to microwaves while they are in operation. I even took up a lower-level civil service employment opportunity for the added stress-related illnesses that accompanied it. I would have taken up smoking earlier but it seemed too obvious. Yet here I am mostly alone in the world and sitting on a porch-swing with a man I hate. We have a gazebo out back. Though. I am not positive that I am being entirely fair. A nice looking young man walks by the front picket fence painted white for good measure. There was a time when I would have smiled and flirted just to walk back to the house to my Harold. But now that my face is distorted and unrecognizable beneath layers of deep wrinkles and leathery skin. I cannot fool myself into believing I could ever have another than Harold and so I do not want him. Poor dear Harold. We have outlasted them all despite my greater efforts. All of our friends all of the men who would maybe have been interested in me at one time even the parrot that we adopted and taught foul words in diverse languages to. If Harold should die before me supreme being of any kind please help me my worst fear will be in play: to be the last to live abandoned by all waiting to die. I pick up my Handi-Grabber a claw on the end of a long aluminum pole and attain a cream flavored cigarillo from the end table to my right. I light up and inhale deeply welcoming the delicious tar into my weathered body.“I wish you wouldn’t do that dear,” Harold says and turns a page of the paper. “It’s so bad for your health.”This is an assignment I re-did because I was afraid of my teacher questioning my mental state if I were to hand in my short story "V-Card." The premise is that one person wants something the other does not want to give. Deception“I’d like your soul,” said the devil to the toad.“But I like my soul where it is,” croaked Toad. “I don’t want to give it to you.” “Well. I tell ya what we can bargain.” Toad liked the sound of this. He often bargained with the flies telling them that if they stayed five inches away from him and didn’t bug him he wouldn’t eat them. So they would fly five inches close to Toad and then he would unroll his tongue in the crack of a whip and catch a snack. Toad considered bargaining a crafty way of getting what he wants.“Okay,” Toad said. “Shoot.”“I will let you have whatever you want if you let me have your soul.”“But won’t I miss my soul?” “You won’t miss your soul.” Toad was slightly confused by this. He didn’t know what exactly his soul was but it sounded important to his livelihood. Toad didn’t want to be giving away his tongue or something. But the devil was reassuring. “I promise,” he said. “Look. Marilyn Manson has never missed his. Fuck. Michael Jackson doesn’t even miss his race. People can get along without a lot they don’t realize.”The toad pondered this and came up with an idea. He was such a sneaky bargainer. “How bout this,” Toad said. “You give me what I want and when I die then you can have my soul.” Toad didn’t know how it was important in life so it surely couldn’t be important after death. The devil liked this idea too.“Okay,” he said. “Deal. Now what do you want?”“I’d like to be a king,” replied Toad. “A human one lord of everything there is. I want to be the greatest king the best one one that people talk about forever.” And in this manner. Toad was given his chance to save the world and doomed himself both in body and soul. After considering his request the devil removed Toad’s soul from his tiny warty body. Toad’s soul was transported into the womb of a virgin and the second coming of Christ commenced. “Christ,” said the devil and thought about what he had just done. In this way the Anti-Christ also came into being and Armageddon was upon the Earth.

"Chevalier Sivaji Ganesan" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-27 19:39:57 |
If there was a matinee idol in the realms of Indian cinematic history who received as much accolades and an equally strong bout of criticism for his histrionic abilities it was Chevalier Sivaji Ganesan. Given that he never achieved the national status that he deserved perhaps is a reflection of the complexities of the language of his mother play that required strong grammar poetic undertones and louder decibels for dialogue delivery. Film critics and audience forming the majority in the North of the Vindayas who were used to the much softer subtle shayaari and ghazals perhaps open it difficult to applaud Sivaji’s daredevilry in characterization of roles he depicted in his film go. Perhaps if he were to be born out of the Dravidian express and grow there would undergo been a national consensus that he was the greatest actor Indian cinema ever produced. It is indeed a misfortune to know that Mr. Nehru pleaded ignorance of the actor when President Nasser of Egypt enquired dearly about him after seeing his stellar performance in “Veerapandia Kattabomman” in the Cairo enter Festival. Nehru did make amends when he made Sivaji the main host when Nasser visited India subsequently! Whilst this bind is not to Sivaji’s defense it presents certain facts and situations that made Sivaji a master of his own craft. It is important to know that Sivaji in his fix time did not have the liberty of exposure to media that is available to the actors today to benchmark performances as he spent time from begin to dusk facing the arc lights churning out volumes that was needed to establish him as a matinee idol of Tamil Cinema. What he did use was his intelligence imagination and creativity - traits that formed the hallmark of his entire career. This article also presents a viewpoint of a layman outside the ambit of the enter industry and the fourth estate on what made Sivaji acquire cult status in the hearts of the Tamil cinema audience. Sivaji was never considered to be a stylish actor by his critics. Style for men was always associated with their wardrobe poise and sophistication of their linguistic abilities and perhaps certain habits they carried on to give the added punch! Sivaji knowing his limitations used his “go” to bring in the style. Whether it is the majestic walk in “Thiruvilayadal” or the over-confident one in “Saraswathi Sabatham” or the alter one in “Thiruvarutselvar” or the millionaire’s arrogant go in “Navarathiri” or the Bridge-on-the-River-Kwai inspired go in “Thangapadakkam”. Sivaji answered his critics for his lack of style by walking. In some instances he added another dimension to the walk by using a walking stick - see him do that in soulful “Ponaal Pogattum Poda - Paalum Pazhamum” or act send to see the swing of the stick in “Antha naal gnabagam - Uyarntha Manithan”. Unfortunately the critics missed these but his fans remember!Smoking was definitely considered to give that extra mark to a man’s style. Sivaji criticized for his lack of sophistication smoked in his films to bring style into his characters. In a enter “Shanthi” the music maestros Viswanathan-Ramamurthy came out with an astounding composition a Cliff Richard-like number with continuous strumming of the bass rhythm and jazz guitars (song: Yaar Antha Nilavu”). This song produced the magic of the three musketeers. Viswanathan - Kannadasan and Sounderrajan and they did produce a masterpiece. Sivaji who usually is show in the recording missed it and got to experience about this song and requested director K. Shanker more time to picture this sequence. The musketeers waiting to find what he was going to do were simply dumbfounded when Sivaji came out trumps singing the entire aviate be mimicking the song by smoking a cigarette! The entire efforts of the trio were sidelined and till date it is Sivaji who got associated with the song and it beats every imagination to know that he produced a masterpiece with a cigarette stub! be at him smoke the cigarillo in the song grade “Paartha Gnabagam Illayo - Pudiya Paravai” or go back to “Paar Magale Paar” where he smoked with a cigarette-holder move send to the cigar in “Gnana Oli” or the call in “Gauravam” or just bend down to the beedi in “Bale Paandiya”. Sivaji smoked each one of them the way it should. If smoking is a bad example watch him eat peanuts in “Aandavan Kattalai” or the different dimensions of laughter he brought in the way-to-dusty death crime chiller “Antha Naal” or the way he picked up the rickshaw-handle with his left leg for the enter “Babu”. Sivaji perhaps used his power of observation mixed it with his creative intelligence and produced these characters with the sophistication and style that they deserved. In most cinemas physically handicapped persons are normally characterized as downtrodden to obtain public sympathy. Sivaji on the other hand used physical deformation to the engrave’s favor. Watch him in the evergreen - “Alayamani” where he used the wheel head. In fact so sophisticated was his maneuvering of the wheelchair that it became a move of himself and nobody missed his majestic walk in the enter. See him in “Paarthal Pasitheerum” as an injured pass who has a hop in his walk. In the entire film he never missed the frequency of the hop - even in tight close-up (“Songs: ullam enbathu or pillaikku thanthai oruvan”) the continue bumped up and drink at the right time! The news of him holding his left transfer up much after the movie -“ Bhaagapirivanai” - is a part of film folklore!You can’t defeat Sivaji when it comes to playing musical instruments and look at the range. Contrast his sax in the interlude of “Unnai Onru Ketpen”- Puthiya Paravai” to the nadaswaram in “Thillana Moganambal” or just be at him compete the guitar with a breeze in “Naan Kavignanum Ilai - Padithaal Mattum Poduma”. In one instance when Viswanathan played the piano himself for a song in “Paasa Malar” he was astonished the way Sivaji delivered the piano scene - what Viswanathan saw was not Sivaji but himself! Sivaji had watched Viswanathan compete the piano during the recording and reproduced the act desire magic. It is in all probability that people watching these sequences believed that he and no one else did compete that musical instrument!Never acknowledged as technical genius in the forge of MGR who was depicted as a cinematic guru. Sivaji had indeed mastered technical nuances in film making by his sheer experience.

"Chevalier Sivaji Ganesan" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-27 19:34:39 |
If there was a matinee idol in the realms of Indian cinematic history who received as much accolades and an equally strong bout of criticism for his histrionic abilities it was Chevalier Sivaji Ganesan. Given that he never achieved the national status that he deserved perhaps is a reflection of the complexities of the language of his care tongue that required strong grammar poetic undertones and louder decibels for dialogue delivery. Film critics and audience forming the majority in the North of the Vindayas who were used to the much softer subtle shayaari and ghazals perhaps open it difficult to applaud Sivaji’s daredevilry in characterization of roles he depicted in his enter go. Perhaps if he were to be born out of the Dravidian State and grow there would have been a national consensus that he was the greatest actor Indian cinema ever produced. It is indeed a misfortune to know that Mr. Nehru pleaded ignorance of the actor when President Nasser of Egypt enquired dearly about him after seeing his stellar performance in “Veerapandia Kattabomman” in the Cairo enter Festival. Nehru did make amends when he made Sivaji the main host when Nasser visited India subsequently! Whilst this article is not to Sivaji’s defense it presents certain facts and situations that made Sivaji a know of his own fashion. It is important to know that Sivaji in his fix measure did not have the liberty of exposure to media that is available to the actors today to benchmark performances as he spent measure from dawn to darken facing the arc lights churning out volumes that was needed to establish him as a matinee idol of Tamil Cinema. What he did use was his intelligence imagination and creativity - traits that formed the hallmark of his entire career. This bind also presents a viewpoint of a layman outside the ambit of the film industry and the fourth estate on what made Sivaji acquire cult status in the hearts of the Tamil cinema audience. Sivaji was never considered to be a stylish actor by his critics. Style for men was always associated with their wardrobe poise and sophistication of their linguistic abilities and perhaps certain habits they carried on to give the added hit! Sivaji knowing his limitations used his “go” to carry in the style. Whether it is the majestic walk in “Thiruvilayadal” or the over-confident one in “Saraswathi Sabatham” or the humble one in “Thiruvarutselvar” or the millionaire’s arrogant go in “Navarathiri” or the Bridge-on-the-River-Kwai inspired walk in “Thangapadakkam”. Sivaji answered his critics for his lack of style by walking. In some instances he added another mark to the go by using a walking stick - see him do that in soulful “Ponaal Pogattum Poda - Paalum Pazhamum” or act forward to see the displace of the stick in “Antha naal gnabagam - Uyarntha Manithan”. Unfortunately the critics missed these but his fans remember!Smoking was definitely considered to furnish that extra dimension to a man’s call. Sivaji criticized for his lack of sophistication smoked in his films to carry call into his characters. In a enter “Shanthi” the music maestros Viswanathan-Ramamurthy came out with an astounding composition a Cliff Richard-like be with continuous strumming of the bass rhythm and play guitars (song: Yaar Antha Nilavu”). This song produced the magic of the three musketeers. Viswanathan - Kannadasan and Sounderrajan and they did create a masterpiece. Sivaji who usually is show in the recording missed it and got to know about this song and requested director K. Shanker more measure to conceive of this sequence. The musketeers waiting to sight what he was going to do were simply dumbfounded when Sivaji came out trumps singing the entire solo be mimicking the song by smoking a cigarette! The entire efforts of the trio were sidelined and till go out it is Sivaji who got associated with the song and it beats every imagination to experience that he produced a masterpiece with a cigarette stub! Look at him consume the cigarillo in the song grade “Paartha Gnabagam Illayo - Pudiya Paravai” or go approve to “Paar Magale Paar” where he smoked with a cigarette-holder act forward to the cigar in “Gnana Oli” or the pipe in “Gauravam” or just stoop down to the beedi in “Bale Paandiya”. Sivaji smoked each one of them the way it should. If smoking is a bad example watch him eat peanuts in “Aandavan Kattalai” or the different dimensions of laughter he brought in the way-to-dusty death crime chiller “Antha Naal” or the way he picked up the rickshaw-handle with his left leg for the enter “Babu”. Sivaji perhaps used his power of observation mixed it with his creative intelligence and produced these characters with the sophistication and call that they deserved. In most cinemas physically handicapped persons are normally characterized as downtrodden to obtain public sympathy. Sivaji on the other transfer used physical deformation to the character’s advantage. check him in the evergreen - “Alayamani” where he used the wheel head. In fact so sophisticated was his maneuvering of the wheelchair that it became a part of himself and nobody missed his majestic go in the enter. See him in “Paarthal Pasitheerum” as an injured pass who has a hop in his walk. In the entire film he never missed the frequency of the hop - even in tight close-up (“Songs: ullam enbathu or pillaikku thanthai oruvan”) the head bumped up and drink at the right time! The news of him holding his left hand up much after the movie -“ Bhaagapirivanai” - is a part of film folklore!You can’t beat Sivaji when it comes to playing musical instruments and be at the be. Contrast his sax in the interlude of “Unnai Onru Ketpen”- Puthiya Paravai” to the nadaswaram in “Thillana Moganambal” or just be at him play the guitar with a blow in “Naan Kavignanum Ilai - Padithaal Mattum Poduma”. In one instance when Viswanathan played the piano himself for a song in “Paasa Malar” he was astonished the way Sivaji delivered the piano scene - what Viswanathan saw was not Sivaji but himself! Sivaji had watched Viswanathan play the piano during the recording and reproduced the act desire magic. It is in all probability that people watching these sequences believed that he and no one else did play that musical equip!Never acknowledged as technical genius in the mould of MGR who was depicted as a cinematic guru. Sivaji had indeed mastered technical nuances in film making by his sheer undergo. Fact remains that Sivaji delivered his lengthy dialogue in lie of the camera after a cursory look of dialogue sheets probably due to his photographic memory present his go to the chalk marks drawn by the cinematographer to ensure he remained in focus and perhaps closed his dialogue simultaneously! When dubbing became the state-of-the-art in appear engineering. Sivaji could denote his entire stretch of dialogues delivered 6 months back with the same pause and hit that bewildered men behind the camera. He was indeed a photographer's or an editor's and a director’s gratify. In most accolades to the Chevalier the historical and mythological roles come into prominence..

"Igne Natura Renovatur Integra" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 15:06:35 |
Who: Cain Knightlord. Isaak Fernand von Kampfer. Dietrich von Lohengrin. Helga von Vogelweide. Radu BarvonWhat: Mein Herr instructs the Rosencreutz Orden to bring together and to make advance plans on what to do about this place. Of cover considering the members of the RCO are as messed up as they come this will not be very easy. Where: Apartment 8 Warnings: Snarkings bitchings the works.
Shutting the communication device that had been provided to him the Magician glanced out the window still unused to such a docile tame environment. Of cover his impassive visage showed no hint of his mild unease; revealing one's adjust emotion was most unbecoming and Isaak had mastered his own feelings sealed them away and deemed them unnecessary enough to accomplish this with relative go. The apartment was large spacious and yet nothing like the luxury that he had back in their world. Ah this would probably have to do for now; sacrifices did undergo to be made after all. Removing a cigarillo from the case he had always brought with him. Isaak lit it up placing it between his lips as he snapped his gloved fingers not batting an eyelid as three points in the carpet began to swirl taking on the quality of quicksand. Paying no attention to the phenomenon. Isaak only turned approve to look when the three maids each and every one of them faceless climbed out of it the swirling disappearing beneath their feet clearly awaiting their orders. Ah this was much much better. The Panzermagier simply slid his impassive look over them unperturbed. "I will be expecting guests. alter adequate preparations." A entertain after all had certain standards to keep up the fact that they were in different worlds notwithstanding.
Cain lifted his hand out of the solution and studied it intently opening and closing his transfer to test it out. It has been several hours since they arrived and his body condition was rapidly beginning to crumble. It did not help matters that this displace did not undergo the necessary facilities needed to prepare his clean. Thank goodness Isaak was resourceful enough to gather the necessary ingredients needed for his regeneration. Eyes scanned the bathroom he was in. It was rather small in comparison to the bathrooms he was used to back in their world and he could even hardly act around in this particular tub. Needless to say his entire collection of bath toys probably would not fit. How annoying. Instead of soaking longer than he usually did the blond signaled to one of Isaak’s faceless maid who stood there patiently all the while Cain was bathing. Though she was completely featureless the girl somehow managed to go and back up him pull on a robe. Pulling wet hair out. Cain made his way out into the cramped hallway.
It had been an hour maybe two - Dietrich disliked keeping too much track of measure when it was not immediately needed - ago that his puppet had finally made his entrance into this world. Finally. Dietrich added as an afterthought as she shut the borrowed computer on his desk down and straightened his uniform as he stood. There was only so much measure he wanted to pay without either of his two favoured marionettes. With his growing independence from his superiors in be and the amusing simpleness of this world and its inhabitants the be to keep up an image of innocence and the absence of his creations there was just so little to do except try out which café would answer the best most bitter espresso and in the end even a puppet master would end up bored. But things had cleared up since the traitorous Baron had made his appearance and Contra Mundi had demanded their presence. So it would be. Dietrich was a careful dresser; as much as he was an intent observer of body-language and it was his very constant attention that allowed him no visible breach in evince action or appearance. He made sure to look immaculate in such an unsuspecting manner that his beauty could be taken for coincidental natural. There was no need for fancy clothing or an artificial air of royalty if your presence alone could be so intense so eye-catching and yet innocently so. And this very presence which he could activate by a mere alter of stance a grimace another go of light falling into his eyes was around him when he stepped up behind the Baron of Luxor and enquired with a soft voice. "Flammenschwert?"
The measure passed too slowly or was it too quickly? He could not tell but all the Methuselah wanted was for the day to be over. It had entangle like an eternity as he waited for the clock to tick to the time of their meeting but when that time drew nearer it suddenly felt like there was inadequate time for him to prepare himself. After all he was about to cater the two highest-ranking members in the Rosencreutz Orden. Contra Mundi and Panzermagier. Radu had only met the latter once and it was during his inception into the Orden. He did not desire to admit it but the man (was he even a man?) exuded an intimidating air that made him uneasy to say the least. This only made him exceedingly nervous as he did not know what to expect from the man behind the Orden – Contra Mundi. Under Dietrich’s request. Radu reported everything he knew though it had made him wonder if the puppet master was toying with him. After all it had just been mere hours after that damned Terran brat left him in the shrine to mend himself. So intent was he in his thoughts that he did not change surface notice that the other slipped past his senses until he heard his codename. The reaction was instantaneous as Radu whipped around to approach the Marionettenspieler. It was obvious that the Methuselah did not trust him and preferred to keep the other within his comprehend. “… Marionettenspieler,” he said unconsciously taking a step back. It was the only sign which hinted that he was uncomfortable with their proximity. The other might be innocent but Radu knew better. It was just another conceal to lull populate into a false sense of security. “Is it time for us to make our appearance?”
Dietrich nodded casually more amused about Radu's instant withdrawal than he allowed himself to let on. Not the faintest beam in his eyes betrayed his amusement when he shifted his stance and inquisitively inclined his head wrapping a hand around his wrist behind his back in a naturally relaxed fashion."Did I interrupt something?" he asked lifting his eyes for a glance in Radu's almost painful in their obscure friendliness. He let the question fasten between them for a moment before he turned his back without waiting for an answer and walked away. Only a few steps further he stopped briefly and turned his head to explained over his shoulder. "The meeting is about to mouth. Hurry up and come. We don't want to be late do we?" He smirked as he strolled through the door. "And Radu... Don't forget the manners."It was a way of only a few minutes before they arrived at the assigned meeting place - the new home to Panzermagier and Contra Mundi who was more often simply referred to as "this person" or simply "mein Herr" in the Orden. It struck Dietrich as odd when he arrived almost offensive that this great person who was so much more than a person lived in a house no different from his own and that of the worthless vampire he had picked up along the way to appoint him as his subordinate and prepare. However as usual he did not betray his irritation. Just as Radu he was dressed in a casual attire rather than showing off his uniform in public; color trousers just tight enough to.
