I'm A Sinner / I'm A Saint / I Do Not Feel Ashamed

Suggestion of the week: If you've got an extra 50 euros to spend on a spa treatment in Austria (so there's that bit of fine print...), why not get the "Hildegard von Bingen steam bath (with fine amethyst crystals)" at the Kitzbühel Royal Spa or Schlosshotel Fiss?

Part II: at first I thought this was a joke, but it's a REAL MOVIE that's actually making the theater rounds right now. Plus the trailer will fill your intensity quota for the day.

Short People Got No Reason



Neumes on your shorts! High fashion? Um, maybe...
From Cafepress.



(bonus: I don't know anything about them except that they have a myspace page under Folk/Jazz/Rock - but what a great name, right?: The Neumes.)

Time Has Told Me



University of Cincinnati Library, you are my favorite. Thank you for digitizing all two hundred and forty-two intact pages of the Spanish Antiphoner, a 16th-century book of Gregorian chants for choir. How beautiful!
