@TheSarahGriffin Don’t forget the part where his prototype saxophone was smashed by a mystery assailant at its first exhibition right before he was supposed to play it.
@TheSarahGriffin Did you know Adolphe Sax nearly died as a child from drinking a bowl of acid water? Or from a rock falling onto his head, knocking him out, and falling unconscious into a river? Or from falling three stories headfirst onto a rock? Or from a gunpowder explosion? Or asphyxiation?
Just had to take a second and gush about libraries. I was trying to read @SGJ72’s States of Grace without dropping $250 for a secondhand copy (!!!) and Texas Tech came through with an interlibrary loan. Now if only I could check out The Elvis Room (if only for one night, right?).
@D_Siebe “There’s no point in discussing it, for you cannot understand.” I can’t tell if he’s got that look because duh, he definitely understands and it’s not that difficult, or because yes, he is confused and cannot understand. Or if it’s just his look.
@D_Siebe Too many things to count! But it’s probably a tie between shiro, Upton’s hot dogs, baba ghanoush and falafel wraps, butternut squash tamales, and soy curl gyros. Whenever any one of those is on the meal calendar I lose my mind.
