Bring Me the Lizard King

Hi there. The name's Ennish and I am a girl who is stuck in the limbo between having too much time on her hands and no free time at all. My primary interests include anime, music, and David Bowie. Expect to see the majority of my posts involve all of these...and whatever I'm interested in at the time. And maybe some of my own fanart.
-------
Before some of you ask, my favorite anime is Cowboy Bebop.
-------
I have a special fondness for Berlin Bowie, The Thin White Duke, and Scary Monsters-era Bowie. They will probably make up the majority of the Bowie pictures that I post.
-------
Along with David Bowie, David Gilmour, The Velvet Underground, and The Doors are some of my heroes. I'm also fond of music by Pink Floyd, Iggy Pop, Queen, Radiohead, Tom Waits, The Smiths, Led Zeppelin, Kalafina, KOKIA, and Pogo, just to name a few.
-------
My blog icon is permanent and expresses everything pertaining to my interests. I also didn't make it.

Alan Rickman - My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun (Sonnet 130)
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

kneeldownorfuckoff:

Alan Rickman reads Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130

My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips’ red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask’d, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks; 
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.

Meh, Alan Rickman’s voice is overrated. It’s nothing like Jeremy Iron’s voi-

OH, OH, WHERE IS THAT HAND GOING? No, don’t go down there! Wait until everyone is asleep!
