Part of that is because it got blocked by Facebook a year ago, which makes sharing posts difficult. It has been under review ever since. But also I never have time to read blogs any more, so I'm not sure if writing one is the right medium for me. However I do want some kind of site as a base if I DO want to use it and share my work, so I will be starting a new blog, which you can find here:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://theljconrad.blogspot.com/">The LJ Conrad</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It's pretty bare at the moment, but I hope to see you there soon.</p>LJ Conradhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13393154837432019164noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6248108046405060758.post-4268606636536222352021-01-04T13:42:00.000+00:002021-01-04T13:42:00.340+00:00Musical Monday #284<p> Welcome to your first burst of musical cheer of the year...</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/J_YaxIL8MvM" width="320" youtube-src-id="J_YaxIL8MvM"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;">All That Jazz from Chicago</div><div style="text-align: center;">Performed by Catherine Zeta-Jones</div><div style="text-align: center;">Written by John Kander and Fred Ebb<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I feel like in the stage show, you get Roxie murdering her lover as part of All That Jazz so it's weird that it isn't part of it in the film, but it has been quite a while since I've seen either version so I could be misremembering.

The grey rat was bigger than the others and stuck close to Inigo, so she was Fezzik. The white rat was small and hiding in the corner doing her own thing, not being friendly towards us, so she was Vizzini.</div><div><br /></div><div>Having now known them for a year and a half, do their names still suit them?</div><div><br /></div><div>In The Princess Bride, Vizzini is a mean and ruthless Sicilian criminal genius hired for his brains. Inigo is a loyal but drunk Spanish fencing master hired as a swordfighter who is on a revenge quest, and Fezzik is a kind and loyal but mighty Turkish wrestler hired for his strength, being a giant, who has a conscience. </div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxAPULwVibc44jsX2RJZa7S-a0dESdCVqspQpneeQzMTGlibnKRCYgDNTtVxiJ9afgoH9luXCWwehTpuJWh2P1HlBGTGLXQsN4wK_WsnOCMoERTIrrFMtqJAn50p3cUtzQM4uGYXV1i-z-/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="589" data-original-width="1013" height="372" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxAPULwVibc44jsX2RJZa7S-a0dESdCVqspQpneeQzMTGlibnKRCYgDNTtVxiJ9afgoH9luXCWwehTpuJWh2P1HlBGTGLXQsN4wK_WsnOCMoERTIrrFMtqJAn50p3cUtzQM4uGYXV1i-z-/w640-h372/Vizzini1.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Vizzini - criminal genius?</td></tr></tbody></table><div><br /><br /></div><div>Vizzini is by far the smallest, so that follows. The Housemate thinks Vizzini doesn’t like him, because sometimes she bites him, so she does possibly have some evil in her, like her namesake and he was certainly hot-headed and she can be volatile. However she is the most active, which would be a more ‘Inigo’ trait. She's also very sweet and needs the most reassurance, which I guess is maybe a 'Fezzik' trait?</div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuWH8kWowBvXzqPP6oBjJf9z69bdSt7hTheOiMdXKRh_JEngIczGl5jG6SuU_hC3pqj4EQdAPSqr6T127vjcKwbvrMaUOYfaMYxz-qOTDzxErhfLcg9hqYLY2JsLX_B27_5GmEo3BFvygs/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="797" data-original-width="995" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuWH8kWowBvXzqPP6oBjJf9z69bdSt7hTheOiMdXKRh_JEngIczGl5jG6SuU_hC3pqj4EQdAPSqr6T127vjcKwbvrMaUOYfaMYxz-qOTDzxErhfLcg9hqYLY2JsLX_B27_5GmEo3BFvygs/w640-h512/Fezzik1.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Fezzik - mighty wrestler?<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Fezzik is the biggest and has only grown bigger, so that follows. She is probably the strongest and also the most destructive, so again that’s right. And she is also a massive pushover and the bottom of the pecking order, which again seems right. She's also the least social and I think that probably isn't right for the character, though I don't know if that would make her more of a 'Vizzini' or 'Inigo'. However, when it comes to working out how to solve a puzzle, Fezzik has had the most success, which would make her a bit of a ‘Vizzini’. Fezzik can be very sulky, and also completely bonkers, which are more like 'Inigo'. </div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSwfbIEDgxU2PQjx8bogziZljAu37Dw9Bl_UZ0NBW796QTPD8aBFuj6RG3bRMWZD1HEgRdCXcHeEoYAjucC7l4cYOWFFV54lHaUGEL0V544MR-ECugJq2QYOg7FszJUP0THOHWmTG9fDGf/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="927" data-original-width="1139" height="520" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSwfbIEDgxU2PQjx8bogziZljAu37Dw9Bl_UZ0NBW796QTPD8aBFuj6RG3bRMWZD1HEgRdCXcHeEoYAjucC7l4cYOWFFV54lHaUGEL0V544MR-ECugJq2QYOg7FszJUP0THOHWmTG9fDGf/w640-h520/Inigo3.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Inigo - vengeful fencing master?<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Inigo tends to win her fights, so that is the right trait for her character.

However, Inigo is the friendliest, so that probably makes her more of a ‘Fezzik’, although she tyrannises the other rats, so that is a more ‘Vizzini’ trait. </div><div><br /></div><div>Now, if Goldman's Fezzik was always stealing paper in order to build nests, that would be right. If instead of a battle of logic, Goldman's Vizzini had challened the man in black to see who could fit the most food in their gob, that would be spot on. And if the line was 'Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to be licked' then we'd be talking.</div>LJ Conradhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13393154837432019164noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6248108046405060758.post-70441117722993987722020-09-26T21:31:00.004+01:002020-09-26T21:36:17.668+01:00Rat Tales #5Another demonstration of how our three rats have completely different personalities.<div><br /></div><div>Vizzini is the most likely to jump on to my lap.
