That would require to constantly move though, wouldn't it.

Also, considering you called it a citadel and that conjures up a particular image, due to the shadow it would cause, you'd have to pretty much let it float over a body of water due to the detrimental effects a shadow can bring. twisted

I would be no worse than a passing cloud.
No, It is an idea. The skies, like the seas, are one of the few places a person is free. Then again, given my luck, I would be shot down for violating some airspace or other over a secret facility that was producing things that have no business in a world peopled by rational beings. wink

One of these days, I'll have an airship.

Let's get a real airship and sail among the clouds, watching the birds share their world with us.

Just watch out for the airsharks ninja

That's what I have the harpoons for.

That is what I meant.
One day, not too long from now, I will build an airship.

Somewhere alongst the way, so much majestic and wonderful was lost.
But it can be found again.
I've done the research, I could build a self sustaining citadel in the clouds.

I'll be there. Let me know.

How much would it cost and what would it run on? rofl

Solar power would work. Nucleics would work.

It might be a good idea to invest in a Tivo. That way, you can watch the game afterwards, without commercials, and go back to the good parts.

Holy crap, I've been looking for that video for a long time! I saw it on fuse or muchmusic or one of those way back when, swore to myself I'd remember the artist's name and look it up later, aaaand then promptly forgot.

Thanks!

The word '********' is very pleasing to me. Not the meaning, but the sound and the feel of the word itself.

I hate French when spoken. It is a beautiful language over-all, and a gorgeous written language, but it incorporates the phlegmy sounds such as can be found in German which utterly ruins what is otherwise a wonderful language. It is rather like listening to Classical music and throwing in some very brief and randomly placed instances of Scream-o. That being said, I very much love to hear German spoken.

I make the same complaint about French, but no one ever understands what I'm talking about. I think for a Masters (or Doctorate's?) in Spanish I'm required to know at least one or two other (romance?) languages, and I was considering French because I wasn't too enthusiastic with the semester of Italian I took, and Portuguese to me sounds too slippery and melded together. If that makes sense? sweatdrop

I'm suddenly very glad I'm only minoring in Spanish, and only for my Bachelor's. Don't think I could handle another language, especially a related one. gonk

I remember having the same complaint that I have about Portuguese now for Spanish when I was first learning it. "How the ******** am I ever gonna tell these words apaaaaaart?! gonk " I think what helped a lot was listening to a lot of music in Spanish. Anybody know any famous Portuguese language singers?

I hadn't heard Portugese so I went to youtube and am now watching Ratatouille in that language. I don't get that impression.

Music in Spanish? biggrin Any recommendations? I've noticed lately that listening to Spanish, in music or movies or whatever, has had a positive affect on my listening comprehension.

Hah, the more languages the merrier is my policy! .... so long as I don't have to speak/hear French. xP I'm majoring in Latin and Greek and it is required that we take another language that is a modern language. I haven't decided what mine will be yet.
