@6e9427cf They can't cross running water. Make a stream down the middle of your office.
@ae1a0ada "Make a stream down the middle of your office." Yeah. No. It's the dining room, and it's not even my dining room. I will become this winged blood-sucker's Renfield before the light of cleansing dawn. That may mean you'll never hear from me again... Probably okay with you, since you complain I interrupt your writing time, anyway. 😂
@6e9427cf No, it would mean that instead of entertaining babble you would tell me all about the flies and spiders you have eaten. I would draw a line at that.
@ae1a0ada You win... 😆🤣 Wait, what!? My subconscious waves a hand and tells me I am about to write a (hashtag)Writever about spiders and madness for 10.8 Asile (Asylum). HOW DID YOU KNOW!!!
@6e9427cf When someone channels Renfield it always comes to that. With an occasional sparrow or swallow. I not only read Das Kapital in Junior High but also Dracula.
@ae1a0ada Wow. I've read neither. 😊 That said, I've read most of Dickens. Probably why I tend toward being loquacious. ... Ugh! That mosquito again, around the sink. White sink. Easy to see I clapped around it, missing it so many times my hand stings. I'm doomed to losing my soul!
@6e9427cf Channeling Renfield is one thing. Losing your soul is quite another. A mad writer can be very entertaining. A soulless one never is.
@ae1a0ada "A mad writer can be very entertaining. A soulless one never is." Immediately grabs the can of OFF! (A mosquito repellant.) You've saved my writing career. Thank you. Oh noes! I've been flapping bit. On my neck! Horse apples! Farewell, y'all.
@6e9427cf But since you are doomed to the undead lifestyle here is a playlist to put you in the mood. (It's not even Japanese.) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLghYzmkF89Gmyg52FZV0uCMQQy-txMOLj
@ae1a0ada For the record, I like J-Pop, too. This is /nice./ I have Falco, Nena (99 Luftballoons), Lautsprecher (Omnibus), and Raminstein (Du Hast) in my playlist. I am definitely adding this Blutengel. I'm love the dark sound and driving beat. It's shades of what I like in /Du Hast./ I'm a sucker for piano in a song, too. Fortunately my German is rusty. I'll not make the mistake I made when I translated the lyrics I did for a Spanish song, and was forever creeped out! Thank you.
@ae1a0ada The videos are good, too. :grins:
@6e9427cf The video is why that number leads off. If I had to pick one BlutEngel song it would be "Sing" https://youtu.be/DqRXahtDX7o?si=1_eNpb-axd0S5dDT
@ae1a0ada English!, Barely an accent. Liked it on YouTube, but I'm listening to it in Apple Music now. Very interesting lyrics. An anthem, for sure. Liking. Muchly.
