I'm at home drinking wine and listening to Edith Piaf - ask me anything

[LynneSin]

I'm in a whimsical mood, who knows what my answers might be.

Let me put on my silky pjs first

[Dookus]

1. ahhh...

ma vie en rose...

[LynneSin]

2. I don't speak a word of french but she makes me whimsical

who knows what I could do tonight if the right question was asked of me

:shrug:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

3. J'adore Edith!

My french teacher in high school taught us the words to "Milord" and I have been an Edith fan ever since.

I went to a museum dedicated to "The Little Sparrow" in Paris several years ago. She had a very sad life...

[LynneSin]

4. The worst is I'm listening to it right after watching Sex and the City

which makes me even more whimsically sad since there are only 2 episodes left of my favorite TV show

:cry:

probably all these candles lit around my place add to the mood

[BeyondGeography]

5. Any regrets?

Non, rien de rien
Non, je ne regrette rien

Blast that sucker. Don't worry about the neighbors.

[LynneSin]

7. Too many to dwell on

my neighbors already think I'm crazy.

But the music makes me feel hopeful too.

11. The greatest chanteuse de toute l'histoire

Boatloads of French colonials fleeing revolution-torn Algeria in 1962 sang "Je ne regrette rien" at the top of their lungs. They were leaving a land they loved (and where they were hated) and were due a hostile reception once they crossed the Mediterranean and made it to France. Piaf made them feel better, too.

6. I love Edith Piaf....

haven't listened to her in ages though. I have kind of been on a Lotte Lenya kick lately, singing Kurt Weil and others.

[LynneSin]

8. Buy a CD and play it with the one you want to snuggle with

best I can do is my cat

[smirkymonkey]

13. Ok, I can get the CD, but the one I

want to snuggle with (well, there are a few of them) may take a few more weeks!

[LynneSin]

15. I'm stuck snuggling my cat

:shrug:

it'll have to do

[gator_in_Ontario]

9. Mdme Piaf ces't vrai!

but I'm listening to Johnny Cash..

[UTUSN]

10. Ye.....No Retiene Neh....

[Ramsey]

12. Who was the more important forerunner of existentialism...

Kierkegaard or Nietzsche?

[LynneSin]

14. I think the key word was WHIMSICAL

existentialism just isn't whimisical enough for me.

[Ramsey]

16. I thought I could ask anything!

:shrug: :wow:

OK, a whimsical question:


Who is the most whimsical 20th century painter. I'm going to go with Jean Miro.

[UTUSN]

19. Anything, but not Literal n/t

[kanrok]

17. Okay, so what wine are you drinking?

[SammyWinstonJack]

18. I don't know who Edith Piaf is

Perhaps I shouldn't admit that? :shrug:

[KCDem]

20. What kind of wine?

I am as well.... that's cuz people didn't drink enough last night. Fuckers, I'm going to have liver damage because VelmaD and Flush_Bush are lightweights. ;)
