Comments on: a mix tape of my soul https://iwilldare.com/2003/11/a-mix-tape-of-my-soul/ A little bit of heaven & A whole lot of hell Wed, 19 Nov 2003 16:15:12 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.2 By: Thomas https://iwilldare.com/2003/11/a-mix-tape-of-my-soul/#comment-8476 Wed, 19 Nov 2003 16:15:12 +0000 https://iwilldare.com/?p=3642#comment-8476 I just remember the great animated short from “The Electric Company” where the main charater ran in to Dracula. He sang that he left, “Immediately… Immediately… Immediate, LY!”

Also, I refuse to believe that “Father, Son and Lolly” would allow their adverb business to go asunder to easily. And Schoolhouse Rocks! trumps Stephen King handily.

booya!

i have read stephen king’s “On Writing” and i know about the evil of adverbs. but sometimes i cannot resist, she said coyly.

It’s much better sounding than “…’you aren’t taping songs off the radio,’ my sister shouted with an incredulous tone rising in her voice.” It sounds like a LITERAL translation from Japanese that way. (All that is missing is “this I assure you, but not as strongly as I would assure a superior or teacher, but as strongly as I would assure a brother, sister or coworker.”)

This site is YOURS, not a portfolio of your work. As a personal reflection page, I can say most reassuringly that you have ever right to completely turn a phrase to your heart’s desire.

Yea verily, I too burned CDs and then recorded them — how else am I going to record my mp3s to tape? Or record songs from different CDs? I had the whole record-from-a-zillion-CDs thing down when I was in high school, though. I’d spend hours at my dad’s labyrinthine stereo setup, recording mix tapes.

Naturally, I asked for (and got) a Kenwood CD player installed in the Destrier for Christmas. But I still have the tape deck.
