Nay.
Beethoven's string quartets?
I like the little pink bear too.
Oh god, K-drama. I've only seen one episode, from Boys over Flowers, which was, uhhhhh, an hour of melodrama of such refinement that my friends and I were speechless... between bouts of hysterical laughter so violent that I, at least, had trouble breathing. Yea for sure, though K-drama is something that really proves there is a difference between watching it ironically and watching it the way the makers intended it to be seen*. Now there's an interesting aesthetic argument to have, methinks.
Pound's Cantos, aye or nay?
*marijuana is also helpful.
Oh, sorry. Yea, though I haven't spent too much time with them. Proust brings them up a lot, they must have been his favorite music, so I'm trying to get to them.Quote:

The Naked Lunch (book or movie)?
Nay nay nay. Not seen the movie though.
Eyes Wide Shut, by Kubrick?
Big aye to high fashion, especially if you don a $10,000 outfit to look like a dirtbag/hobo (I am not kidding, it's cool).

Never seen it Lykren, but I'm sure I would like it so aye.
The British royal family?
Aye to the royal family. They can clean my house anytime.
And it's so cool that you've got this sartorial side to you, Clopin. I'm telling you, modeling. (Just don't let the weight slip too much).
The historical (as opposed to the sanctified) Gandhi?
My weight couldn't humanly slip too much :(
Aye I suppose, I tend not to believe anyone is a saint, though sometimes the mythology may be more useful than the reality.
Oreo cookies?
Oh yeah, do see it, one of Kubrick's best.
Re: hobo fashionistas, no entiendo, わかんない, ich verstehe nicht, I don't get it dude.
British Royal Family, is that a tv show? In all seriousness though, no. They should donate their assets to the poor :D
oops, I'll anser Clopin's new one: yay yay yay to Oreos.
More movies: The Spirit of the Beehive? If you haven't seen it, Bernini?
Aye to Spirit of the Beehive.
Oreo cookies with peanut butter filling?
Boo http://s16.photobucket.com/user/Avan...t/bsr.jpg.html

Never seen a Bernini :( Why am I such a pleb?
Listening to music to fall asleep?
Edit: and nay to peanut butter oreos.
Ok I like those photos.
In high school I fell asleep to weird **** like Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Kid A, Tchaik 6, even *****es Brew once. Now I'm not so hip, more conservative, and don't do the music before sleep thing.
Existentialism?
Aye, the Camus variety at any rate.
ice fishing?
Brrrr, nay.
North, how do you feel about the phrase existence before essence?
Stargazing?
I think I agree with it.Quote:

Long-distance biking?
Aye!
Long-distance walks?
Yes, though it really depends on who with. Also where I'm going.
In your opinion, is there any good pop music?
Aye - at least if 'pop music' means popular music in the wider sense. Pink Floyd, Beatles, Hendrix, Abba, Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, etc etc, Abba might fit into a narrower definition, I suppose.
Is there contemporary classical music you like?
Not in the slightest...Philip Glass in particular galls me.
Who are your three favorite hip-hop/Rap artists?
... is Arvo Pärt alive? *googles* yes. But not a whole lot.
iWatch just a shallow gimmick? your best guess since it's not out.
edit: sorry pike. I don't like Glass much either, but Steve Reich can be good.
Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West, and those are the only two I've listened to more than a very little. I'm so white.
Since Lykren didn't ask a question, I'll answer mine as well and ask another:
My three favorite Rap/Hip-Hop artists are Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, and Eminem
What three critical theorists and/or philosophers do you find the most helpful in understanding literature?
Aye or nay? ;)
Is there 1 or more critical theorists or philosophers you find helpful in understanding literature?...and, if so, who?
nay...though i think we're a little outside the "rule" of the thread---but im all for bending rules sometimes.
i strongly suspect most of us here havent been trained/formerly educated in literature. while i have read, and sometimes still do read philosophy, i don't recall any of it helping me to understand literature. although maybe some of the feminist stuff ive read... but id be hard pressed to say exactly who and what.
north star i see you are from finland, so this one is inspired by you:
jumping into a cold winter lake and then hopping back into the dry sauna?
umm, not to be too prurient, but, naked Nicole kidman!Quote:

Getting organized?
Aye, hehe. But more in terms of thoughts than material stuff. . . that's more minimalist for me. .
Florida-type rain storm?
Yay!
Riding horses?
Neigh! (Heh heh). One of my only regrets.
Independent political party status?
Nay. You might as well not try at all.
Riding bikes?
oh absolutely aye and thanks for asking! its one of my very favorite things!
riding road bikes with 23c width tires 50mph down curvy hills?
Why not?
Eating Fugu at a sushi bar where you are not aware of the skill of the chefs?

With a C, not from the sea.
Egon Schiel?
Aye.
Kandinsky?
Aye. How can you not love someone named Wassily?
The smell of pipe tobacco?
nay
Peaty Whisky?
Nay, I can't get past the stagnant-water taste.
Peppermint schnapps?
im a teetotaler, but even when I was a kid, I liked the smell of peppermint schnapps. and I do like the word "schnapps." maybe it would work well as impromptu cologne? but otherwise, nay....
fruit flavors in beer?
