Minimalist or maximalist or other ?
33C or 34C, that's very high for Spring and even Summer, tailor. We are having an early Winter with temperatures of
20-22C and some rain. I hope the weather cools some grades.

Maximalist.

"20-22C and some rain": send us some of your weather my way, please.
Religion, tech, science, (would poetry count?)...
'60's-'70's (year): Short hair or long hair ?
I sometimes exchange weather packets with a German friend, when the weather is the opposite. I'll send you hundred packets of "Mild Winter with Little Rain".

Charlie Chaplin ! :)
(The name Catta Preta is not unfamiliar, but I never heard about this girl. One of your finds).
Music shows or talk shows?
A preference for a music show like American Idol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Idol . I do watch Greg Gutfeld's comedy talk show https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gutfeld!... mostly biased right.
Same question ?
We have similar singing competitions, sometimes for different age groups: children, adults and seniors. The candidates come from the whole country:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estrela_da_Casa. I used to watch it sometimes.
Arg! Fox News! At present there isn't a good comedy program. I used to watch Chico Anisio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chico_Anysio and Casseta e Planeta: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casseta_%26_Planeta
Corrected the Gutfeld! link... the url was stripped of the trailing '!'
Interesting format.
So, sort'a like Saturday Night Live? https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...n&opi=89978449
Arg ? This is how I balance my news viewing with main stream media (left-wing) and Al Jazeera... works for me :)
Control the sun, the moon, or the stars ?
Balancing news with canals of different ideologies sounds fine to me. :) The problem is that today the best news vehicles are behind pay walls. I used to read The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian...no more.
The Google link is not available here.
Lol, none of them.

I wish you look, specially if the open TV doesn't offer enough options.

Mostly old... few songs of the newer generations move me.
Use a microscope, a magnifying glass, or a telescope ?
Sometimes I feel I need a magnifying glass to read the small letters on certain packages.
Sounds around you: music, voices or nature sounds (birds singing, etc)
Me too, and sufficient illumination - more than I needed when I was younger.
Currently the sturm and drang between my ears, and the occasional hard drive whirrs... otherwise nature, music, and children's voices in that order.

Equal measures I think.
Measuring: kilometers, miles, parsec, lightyears, or banana ? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/D1_FfNZ_Ok8

Coconut or Hazelnut?
Hazelnut
Piano or harp ?
Both :)

Clothes made of spider's silk, flower petals, or starlight ?
An aside:
a masquerade
a færie costume ball: many with
clothes made of spider's silk,
flower petals, or starlight -
their masks fashioned from
ebon forest shadows on
moonless mid-summer nights
to complete the masquerade
some might consider this a myth -
but maidens with limbs of milk
and an elemental guardian sprite
have danced with me to the drum,
viol, and flute long past dawn
in dreams far more than flights
of fancy for I have often stayed
6/25/2026
Ta ! (short for tarradiddle),
tailor
Enjoyed the poem.Would think a bit more of the end: "for I have often stayed" seems not to fit so well the rest of the poem.
At present with the cold weather I prefer wool!
