"There may be trouble ahead
But while there's moonlight and music
And love and romance
Let's face the music and dance"
But while there's moonlight and music
And love and romance
Let's face the music and dance"
- Irving Berlin
Moonlight. Isn't it cool? What does it mean to you? To me, it's one of the most perfect topics for tangential ramblings.
Moonlight. I've just been watching Moonlighting again. What a perfect television programme. Mysterious as the moon itself. Or perhaps not... the ridiculous plots have twists that become predictable. But that doesn't matter. Because it's about the enigmatic chemistry between Cybil Shepherd and Bruce Willis - think Beatrice and Benedick put in the 1980's. It's about the crazy things that happen; I've had the joy of watching a car chase in a hearse and an episode with a leprechaun. It's about unashamedly intelligent dialogue, with all sorts of linguistic tricks knowingly and ostentatiously deployed.
Moonlight. There's an item in World of Warcraft "Rituals of the New Moon" - that can turn you into a wolf. Cue pointless debate on the forums. "It's about werewolves." "No it's not. Werewolves are at the full moon." "Ah, but Twilight's werewolf-related sequel is New Moon." I've always been more inclined to werewolves than vampires. Vampires are evil. Werewolves are just bestial. Also, from a spiritualistic point of view, vampires are evil energy draining entities, werewolves are shamanistic soul shapeshifters.
Moonlight. The reflection of the sun's light. By a curious quirk of fate, the moon rotates upon it's axis in such a way that only one side is ever facing the earth. There is the unseen dark side of the moon.
Moonlight. The sight of which indicates the start of an Islamic month. The means by which Ramadan should be started and ended if it weren't for petty religious politics.
Moonlight. The three phases of the moon. Athena, Demeter, Hera. Three different types of female energy conveyed by the moon's light.
Moonlight. One of my friends has been mooning lately. To him this means a form of pleasant daydreaming. In Britain, mooning is a base act of showing off your bare behind in public - especially when pressing it against a vehicle's window.
Moonlight. Romantic. Mysterious. Magical.
Luna and Selene to other female energies conveyed by moon light?
ReplyDeleteAlso i am a more vampire person than a werewolf person. I think they are sexier. When i was younger i always wanted to be a vampire/ Maybe you should see Van helsing, there is an awesome end fight sequence between a vampire and a werewolf. Of course the director was partial to werewolves like you and and so made him win :D
