Top 5 love songs of all times

I have just heard about (the apparently wonderful) Nick Cave concert in Pecsa and it brought me back memories of all kinds (e.g. my "Let Love In" CD residing with nanaimo for years and listening to songs at i's place on the bigbig stereo of her father...hmmm.)

Anyway, this song was played at the Budapest concert and for me it is one of the nicest love song ever - it is so simple and yet beautiful. Other songs on the list would include (of course!) "One" from U2 and at least one PJ Harvey (I cannot decide which one). How about you? Do you think "November Rain" could make it? What about all the Beatles songs?



The text is here.

our next real castro session will look like this

btw does anyone keep track of who won what?

Photo Detail Contest, 2nd edition - final part

Let me sum up:
It is a bird
It is bending down for something (eating, what do you think ?)
It has a white belly with black legs and back, but you couldn't see the wings yet
It yielded a bottle of pink champagne to i who guessed all that.

Now that you want to see the whole picture, let me just show you that :
And now is the time for another contest and for a second bottle of champagne : where was that picture taken and what kind of bird is it?

Photo Detail Contest, 2nd edition - part 1

Let me sum up:
It is something wild
It is not some bird's wing, but that is very close
It is not the corner of a mouth.

Additional hint : it is animal, but not human. A wider view now:


Think of your dry (pink?) champagne!

Lets celebrate together

Here is the idea:
We all prepare the cake below and eat it while imagening the rest of the people (especially i this time) to be around.

So, melt 200 gram butter and 200 gram bitter chocolate, stir in 200 gram sugar and 200 gram flour. Add 5 whole eggs, mix well. Pour it into a cake form and bake it for 45 minutes on 170 C. (or until the knife comes out clear).

This recipe might be familiar for some of you...

hb for i

Dear i!

It is your birthday, the happiest day of the year, you know...
Here is my virtual gift, enjoy...(the picture is mine, it was taken last December...)

Photo Detail Contest, 2nd edition

Dear VCBers,

No posts for a while, and I have my share of responsibility in it, so I won't blame anyone. But it is time to catch up, one way or another! So the way I thought would be best is not that of the samurai, but rather that of a new photo contest. And what's more, it will call for for discussions about our last destination with Lynx : Ireland!

Now, who will win the bottle of champagne at stake today?

Wazzehellizzat?
