The Phantom of the Opera
was lonely for love
Christine was his muse.

Like some of you already know, I also love Phantom of the Opera (2004 starring Gerard Butler).

bellabella @JenlovesJT47 Thank you! 💕 I need to tell you when I first watched the movie I got a crush on Gerard Butler because of how he played the Phantom. (I was ten) (edited) 6h

Thanks to @JenlovesJT47 for inspiring me to make some movie haikus!
I love this movie.

#Chatterday2025 @AllDebooks

It is storming this morning. Thunderstorms scare my dogs so I have been comforting them with cuddles. I have tried thunder shirts to no avail. They are finally dying down and I can get on with things. My plans are to get a bit of housework done this morning. Lunch with my bestie, which will certainly involve alcohol. Afterward, I hope to have some time to myself later in the afternoon.
Play? @dabbe @DebinHawaii

Eggs TY for the tag 🌺 12h
ElizaMarie Love your lunch plans!!! I'm still sitting in bed with a coffee and a Frenchie sleeping in my lap (our new puppy is great when he is sleeping). Storming out here too. I haven't decided what I'm doing today. Husband has to attend graduation (for work). 12h

Elizabeth2 Enjoy your lunch! Sounds like a perfect date! 😁🥂 One of my dogs is terrified of storms, and she suffers seizures when stressed so we try to do all we can to keep her calm. Sitting and cuddling with the TV on and turned up kinda loud to something more soothing - no explosions, or playing calming music but kind of loud to drown out the thunder and wind. I try to just relax. Dogs read our own moods, so if I am calm, it helps keep her calm. 💕 11h
Elizabeth2 During 4th of July fireworks, I play patriotic music loud to drown out the booms, and I sit and read a book. There are enough of those types of sounds in the patriotic music that she can‘t tell the difference. And she sees me reading, which is a normal activity around here. 😂 She goes right to sleep. 11h
TheSpineView @Eggs 😘🥰😊 10h
TheSpineView @ElizaMarie Cuddling in bed sounds divine. I've been up since 6:30. After the rain stopped it was a long walk for the pups. Have to get some energy out of the 6 month old. 10h
TheSpineView @Elizabeth2 Looking forward to lunch. It's her birthday Monday so we are celebrating today. 10h
Cupcake12 Enjoy lunch. Currently sat on the floor with my girls waiting to go into a concert 🎵 It‘s going to be a late night 8h

Today‘s Norway‘s National Day. We celebrate our constitution from 1814.

We celebrate with the children‘s parade, so this is seen as the kids day where they can eat all the ice cream and hot dogs that they like

So to any Norwegian in here: Happy Birthday
And I hope everyone has a great day

AnneCecilie @Teresereading Thank you 😊 I hope you managed to visit the Eidsvoll building when you was here? That‘s quite the achievement, how long did he sit? 5h
AnneCecilie @ChaoticMissAdventures Thank you 😊 We definitely need it when it comes to the Eurovision finals. 5h
AnneCecilie @dabbe Thank you 😊 you had visited Bergen before right? It was actually sunny there today as well. There was some talk about a heat record in Bergen today with temperatures in the 20s. 5h
dabbe @AnneCecilie Those would be high temps for that area, though in Phoenix, AZ, we'd love them! Yes, I visited Bergen back in 1990. I also did the Norway in a Nutshell trip and was just floored by all of the gorgeous fjords! People there were the friendliest, too. We also got to see the northern lights. All in all, a completely magical place. ♥️ 4h
AnneCecilie @dabbe I‘ve actually never seen the fjords or the northern lights for that matter. But the northern lights are moving further south, and was over Oslo this winter only I was in bed by then and didn‘t see it. 4h
ChaoticMissAdventures @AnneCecilie oh I thought he did so well! And just 19, with such a sweet backstory to his song! I am in the US so cannot vote but it is so fun watching 4h

dabbe @AnneCecilie Are the fjords only on the western side? I didn't know that! 3h
Teresereading @AnneCecilie Doren Jaabaek sat from 1845-1891! No, I didn‘t know about Eidsvoll until after we left Norway. Need to come back! 2h
AnneCecilie @dabbe The famous ones are in the west, but there‘s also fjords in the north. We have the Oslo fjord, not as beautiful or dramatic as the others ones (edited) 2h
AnneCecilie @ChaoticMissAdventures Yeah, at least we didn‘t get zero points. I thought the whole world could vote now? 2h

Good news for Boots! She let the vet drawn her blood this time & her labs came back looking good. Her chronic kidney disease hadn‘t gotten significantly worse (some of her numbers have improved!)

1) I was sitting at my desk the other day and noticed how many different colors of pens I had. Writing on paper with pretty ink still brings me joy 🦖
2) peas from the garden
3) suns up for my commute
4) clearance plants to fill in a few holes by the patio
5) brightening up the house with cut flowers

Hang in there everyone ❤️

I‘ve got to stop doing these. I consider myself well read - I certainly have read a lot in my lifetime, but these lists make me feel ignorant, or that I need to return my English Lit degree back to UCF. 😭😭
Anywho…love Les Mis, Fathers and Sons, Middlemarch, Great Expectations, and Little Women. Dostoyevsky on the other hand can go f*ck himself. 🤣🤣 #tlt #threelistthursday

dabbe I hate to contribute to making you feel this way! 😥 I try to see it more as fun and to add books to the TBR. I'm a retired high school English teacher, and I scored poorly, too--even worse than last week. We are both well read!!! There are just so many DAMN books out there that we'll never beat 'em! You're in excellent company, m'dear. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 2d
DGRachel @dabbe I always felt bad for my HS English teachers because every year someone would ask what they read for fun and most of them said they didn‘t have the luxury of reading for fun, that they were always (re)reading books they were teaching. As for these quizzes, I just hate doing poorly on anything. 🤣🤣🤣 2d

I did worse than last week! 🤣 Here's hoping we all do better when we finally get into the 1900s! Three faves include, but are definitely not limited to:
1. TESS OF THE D'URBERVILLES (fave read of all of 2023)
2. GREAT EXPECTATIONS: Fave Dickens.
3. THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES: fave book of ALL TIME. #sherlocked

I'm agnostic, but this is my favorite hymn. Written by Horatio Spafford, who had sent his wife and 4 daughters ahead to Europe on the SS Ville du Havre, while he finished some business in Chicago. All 4 daughters perished when the ship collided with the Loch Earn. As Spafford came across to join his wife, who survived, he wrote this song near the site where his 4 girls died. 😭

Lynnsoprano Wow, only 12! However, there are 19th century authors who are missing from this list, whose books I would have expected to make the list—Hawthorne, Austen, Brontë, to name a few. 2d
Bookwormjillk Ooof only 9! 2d
Susanita @Lynnsoprano I guess the divisions are not entirely exact with so many books. There were some Austen and Brontë last week. In fact, without them my score would have been even worse! 2d
Lynnsoprano @susanita Ah, that explains it. I was down with COVID last week—not bad except for the headache. I‘ll have to go back and look at that list. 2d
BarkingMadRead I only had 15. I own like 5 or so more but haven‘t read them yet 🙈 2d
Bklover 15- thanks to a years ago obsession with Jules Verne and HG Wells. And, of course, #hashtagbrigade 2d
Librarybelle So bizarre—I did worse this week than last with only 13! And I call myself a classics reader! 🙄 2d
willaful 12 for me. Alice and Little Women my favs, of course! I'd like to read What Maisie Knew. Calling the #HashtagBrigade ! 😁 2d
dabbe @jenniferw88 Yay for you! I find them rather terrifying myself. 🤣 2d
dabbe @CSeydel I think my score will be right around there, too! TESS was my #1 fave book in 2023 with the #hashtagbrigade! And we're currently reading THE MILL ON THE FLOSS. I loved MIDDLEMARCH, too. Is SILAS your favorite of hers? Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 2d

dabbe @Lynnsoprano There are still more books from the 1800s coming your way! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 2d
dabbe @BarkingMadRead We need to get them into the #hashtagbrigade! 😍 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 2d
dabbe @Bookwormjillk I feel it! I haven't taken it yet, but I think I'll score around the same! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 2d
dabbe @Susanita @Lynnsoprano The list I have is ordered by centuries, but not necessarily in chronological order of that century. So, the 1800s could have one from 1813, then the next from 1802, then the next from 1889, and so on. 🤷‍♀️ 2d
dabbe @Lynnsoprano I hope you're feeling better! 😍 2d
dabbe @Bklover IKR? I still need to read WAR OF THE WORLDS. I've read his others, but not that one! 😱 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 2d
dabbe @Librarybelle I think I'll score worse, too! But, man, some of those titles I have never even heard of! I'm more of a British Lit classics girl, not a world one. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 2d
dabbe @willaful Ooh, that one does sound good for the #hashtagbrigade, doesn't it? Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 2d

tpixie @dabbe yikes! 9% I am currently reading Les MIs! December 31 that‘ll get me up to 10%! ❤️‍🔥. @dabbe @CSeydel Tess is a favorite ❤️ (edited) 2d
CSeydel @tpixie it‘s so good. Reminds me, I‘m due for a re-read … on the other hand, I still haven‘t read Jude the Obscure. Decisions decisions 2d
CSeydel @dabbe believe it or not, I haven‘t read Mill on the Floss OR Middlemarch (despite having the latter on my shelf for like 3 years, gazing dolefully at me every time I walk by with another book in my hand). But yes Silas Marner is one of my favorite books of all books! 2d
Faranae 30! Some of these authors feel over-represented, like they could have just chosen 1 or max 2 by that author and fit someone else in. Some of these I really have to vote against! I read André Gide's “fruits of the earth“ in French and yikes. Also I love Sherlock but just put the Hound on there and move on! 2d
rwmg 29 Brings home how Anglocentric my 19th century reading has been, even if not completely so. But an embarrassing number where I've never heard of book or author. 2d
AnnCrystal

peaKnit Ope, 5! I also love Tess, I see she is a popular read! I read it in Highschool. 2d

tpixie @CSeydel I know it‘s so hard to do a reread when there‘s so many other books still left to read! 2d
dabbe @tpixie You're in good company; most of us are between 5 and 25! Here's hoping the 1900s are better for all of us! And I think we should be able to include LES as 3 books just for its length alone! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 2d
dabbe @CSeydel And SILAS is the one of hers I haven't read! 🤣 I adored MIDDLEMARCH and am enjoying MILL, though MIDDLE is better IMHO. I'm moving SILAS up on the TBR! 😍 2d
dabbe @Faranae The Sherlock is a hard one for me as I am a MAJOR Sherlock fan. But I see your point. Perhaps only one book per author, right? Yet some writers are way better than others and contributed more to the overall literary aesthetics of history. Hard choices all around. BTW, you beat my sorry butt. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 2d
dabbe @rwmg 🩵🎯🩵 So many world authors I've never heard of, nor their books. I need the clock to slow down so that I can get to them! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 2d
dabbe @AnnCrystal YW! 🥰 2d
dabbe @peaKnit I applaud any teacher who had high schoolers read TESS. I adored that book! 😍 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 2d
dabbe @Daisey You know, some of them just don't look that appealing to me. I don't care how low my score may be, if I'm not even interested by the cover or the little snippet provided in the 1001 book, I ain't reading it! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💚💜 2d
CatLass007 My score was 11 and I think I should get some credit for at least TRYING to read Les Miz three different times. But I didn‘t check it. A couple of these I‘m pretty sure I read so I checked them. I read most of these with #NoPlaceLikeHolmes, #HashtagBrigade, #RandomClassics, and #WhatTheDickens, so thank you #LITSY! I also DNF several others. But, as @dabbe reminds me, #HailTheBail #BetterBooksAhead (edited) 2d
CatLass007 Three that I own and want to read are Anna Karenina, War and Peace, and Middlemarch. 2d
TheLudicReader 🤣 7. I still have the essay I wrote about Tess. Hated her. But I loved The Mayor of Casterbridge. 2d
catiewithac 27/100 but why so much Zola? It was a weird list. 1d
dabbe @CatLass007 YES! I love book surveys, but I don't always agree with them. If the book doesn't look good to me, I don't care who thinks I should read it! 🤣 And 🎯 for all of the books thanks to Litsy. I feel the same way. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 1d
dabbe @CatLass007 If I had to put these in order of what I enjoyed, I'd say MIDDLEMARCH, ANNA KARENINA, then WAR AND PEACE. But don't listen to me! 🤣 1d
dabbe @TheLudicReader Well, here's something where we aren't in sync. TESS was my favorite read of 2023 (maybe that was a crappy reading year! 🤣). I want to read that essay when I get there! And I never read MAYOR, but I adored FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWS. That Hardy! #oy Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 1d
dabbe @catiewithac I guess Zola is Ze besZt. 🤣🤷‍♀️😍 I've never read anything by him! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 1d

Two words: cellar door.
Beautiful purely in their
sounds ... without meaning.

The background picture above: the entrance of the “hobbit hole“, which Tolkien devised, is a type of “cellar door“, the idea of whose phonetic beauty he popularized in a 1955 lecture on the English and Welsh language.

AnnCrystal While not my favorite adaptation, I found it interesting how the movie Dracula 2000 connected Dracula to Judas instead of Vlad II Dracul.

Although, much preferred the Dracula Untold movie, which was a clever masterpiece that combined the History of Vlad II Dracul with the Vampire Legend (historical fiction). Wish they had made a novelisation. 🥀🦇💝.

Comfy blankets; sleep.

A fun novella in the series! Listened out of order bc Everand is dumb and keeps suggesting them in the wrong order 😂

KathyWheeler Yeah — I‘ve noticed Everand does that and sometimes if you look up a series, not all of the titles will be there. If you look up individual titles in the series, though, the missing ones will show up. 4d

In other incredibly cool music news for #TuesdayTunes, one of my favourite rap artists/MIT professor Lupe Fiasco found inspiration in the “plein air“ artistic movement to record music in outdoor settings, allowing for the ambient sounds to inspire and collaborate with the music. https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2025/may/01/lupe-fiasco-new-art-project

@TieDyeDude

TheKidUpstairs The first music has been recorded in conversation with the MIT public art collection and can be found here (I think - I'm at work so I can't listen to confirm the link, but pretty sure it's the right one): https://listart.stqry.app/1/tour/55310 4d

#TuesdayTunes @TieDyeDude

Just in time for Tuesday I discovered this initiative from the Museum of the United Nations - UN Live. Sounds Right brought artists into the studio to record songs using nature sounds, and Nature gets an artist credit. Nature's artist royalties (and donations) are then directed to conservation and restoration projects.
