Aye or Nay?

[Danik 2016]

With Fantastic Literature I mean Edgar Allan Poe, Kafka and Gabriel Garcia Marques for example.
Elves are more related to fairy tales to me.
Here in Brazil the soap operas have more or less the same status as the American tv series (we have series too, but national series are still something new here). Sometimes Soap Operas are complex works of fiction like the recent "Velho Chico" which evolved around the political powerand enviromental changes about the São Francisco river. This river has great regional importance, because it is the one big river in an otherwise very dry region.
Aye.

The Voice Kids?

[Lendo]

With Fantastic Literature I mean Edgar Allan Poe, Kafka and Gabriel Garcia Marques for example.

Why do you consider García Marquez fantastic Literature?

Aye. There's some awesome kids on those talent shows, and there's always a way for them to get their future career started, if they want to make a career in music.

Pizza-Burguer?

[tonywalt]

Aye.

Nandos?

[bounty]

have never been, don't know that ive ever even seen one actually.

on dining out principle, which is something a lot of people like, I could say aye, but being a vegetarian and wishing every one else in the world was one too, I could say nay.

the upcoming NFL superbowl?

[tailor STATELY]

Nay... they play it on Sunday... I'll catch the highlites on Monday

Raking leaves ?

[bounty]

well heck tailor, i had you in mind when i asked the question and i thought for sure id be eliciting an "aye"

i don't pay attention enough anymore to have a favorite team, but in general, id be rooting for a northern and eastern NFC team over a western and southern AFC one. geo-centricity and all that...smiles...

i think you have asked about raking leaves before---oh what did i answer last time!

i live pretty much in the woods where its not necessary, at least for neighborly appearance, or maybe even health of lawn wise, to have to rake. so nay on that account, but aye on it being good exercise, being outdoors, and amongst the smells of late autumn. this year i didn't do any raking.

giving up on a book before you've finished it?

[Lendo]

Nay. I can't stop reading a book before i finish it.

Weekend vacations?

The Voice Kids?

Sorry for answering only now Lendo, I was on vacation and Litneting was very limited as I am still new to using the tablet. It is a long time ago that I read Garcia Marques, but anyway things happen in his fiction, or in some of it, that subvert the laws of reality. According to Todorov, if I remember well you have the "real" world. On one of its extreme you have the fairy tales with their own laws which you inpliciptly accept when you read them. The other extrem is the fantastic realm where things happen that subvert the laws of reality. For example a human that starts to fly or turn into insect. But perhaps "magic realism" is better description of his fiction.

Snow? (It´s now about 28º C here)

[tailor STATELY]

Snow... no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no... nay

We had snow just the other day (Monday). It disappeared quickly but has ruined my week just thinking about it.

Watching "The Big Bang Theory" inspired this>>>

Real or artificial Christmas tree or Menorah or other ?

[Danik 2016]

Lol! Sorry! I never saw real snow in my life only frostings and on pictures it looks cute!

Real Chistmas tree (when I was a child we always had a real pine tree)


Carnaval?

I hope you had good vacations

I understand you saying that about Kafka. I would understand you saying that about other writers, like Bulgakov, Huxley or Poe. But not about García Marquez. At least the books i wrote had nothing that challenged the laws of reality.

Aye to Carnaval, although in Portugal it is way more low profile than in Brasil ahah.

3D movies?

[Danik 2016]

Aye but depending on the movies.
I wish Carnaval was low profile here too. As it is it seems there are going to be about 500
street block only in São Paulo. And the festivities are to be extended for two weeks.
Aye but if the effect adds to the quality of the movie.

Animal documentaries?

[North Star]

Aye, if they're in the wild, and without visible human participation.

Schumann's Carnaval?

[Lendo]

Aye.

Snapchat?

[bounty]

oh heck I wrote a reply to the animal documentaries one and see that it didn't take!

I grew up watching mutual of Omaha's wild kingdom, nature, and Jacques Cousteau, so major aye on the animal documentaries.

lendo I like the idea of it, but I am without a cellphone (and am glad to be) so its a nay for me.

white noise (or any noise) when you go to bed to sleep?
