THE SMALL PRINT ON HARPIES:
Warning! Harpies may be hazardous to your health! Always use Harpies responsibly for maximum benefit. Before interacting with Harpies tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to them; or if you have any other allergies. Before cavorting with Harpies, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: penis conditions, sickle cell anemia, eye problems, kidney disease, liver disease, bleeding disorders, active stomach ulcers, heart problems, recent stroke within past 6 months, very high or low blood pressure. Harpies may make you dizzy or cause vision changes; use caution engaging in activities with Harpies requiring alertness such as driving or using machinery. Increasing a Harpy's alcoholic beverage intake may help. . . or it may be contraindicative. To minimize dizziness and lightheadedness, never surprise a Harpy.

Caution is advised when introducing Harpies to the elderly because they may be more sensitive to the side effects. Harpies are not indicated for use near children.

MY MUSICAL TASTES
My own stuff can be found here:
http://www.myspace.com/aellossister

Tom Waits is, without question, my favorite artist.

Other than that, anything goes, from Classical to Punk (especailly Irish Punk). My dream journey is to one day take a trip around the world listening to remote, native music as performed by local, mostly non-professional musicians - all rough and imperfect. What could be better?

TV THAT I DEIGN TO WATCH:
FIREFLY is, of course, the all time best show ever. (DAMN YOU FOX and your oily hide for cancelling it!)

CURRENTLY WATCHING:
Heroes
Pushing Daisies
Life
Grey's Anatomy
Battlestar Gallactica - SEASON 1 (DVD)
(And *GASP*) Survivor

BOOKS I'VE READ:
Pema Chodron's "Start Where You Are" (It changed my life)
Froissart's Chronicles
Barber's "Life & Campaigns of the Black Prince"
The Dictionary and Thesaurus
Gaston Phoebus' "Book of the Hunt"
Richard Bach's "Illusions"
The Luttrell Psalter
The Paston Letters (in language of the era)
Anything by Christopher Moore, Hunter S. Thompson, or Charles Bukowski

PEOPLE I LOOK UP TO:
The Dalai Lama
Pema Chodron
Tom Waits
Edward, The Black Prince ('ceptin' that Limoges thing)
Sir John Chandos
Sir James Audley
My dear friends
Anyone who ever claws their way through adversity and the human condition and can still evidence compassion for themselves and the world around them.

Unfortunately I must deny the Harpies my presence at Lilies, and thus avert the terrible eruption of CHAOS upon the Known Worlde.
Duncan

Sad bit about this video is that I've seen almost all of it happen. Less severe instances, but still.
Omar

Nope, no Lilies for me this year. Maybe next, depends on the usual variety of things.
Have fun!
