"O Fortuna"? Really? That's...an interesting choice. Though I seem to remember that Paul Wylie had a cool ice-skating routine to it.

I really like Carmina Burana (and have it on CD), but "O Fortuna" is pretty intense and way overused at this point. It's like the "Hallelujah" of concert music.

And there's some other stuff in Carmina that could conceivably make cool dance music. Or at least better.

Just what I was hoping for. We'll see if Karla makes a better partner for Vitolio than Asuka, but I'm seriously iffy on her, too.

It occurs to me that, since I've been having trouble getting up lately, maybe I should switch out my alarm's current CD (Grieg's "Peer Gynt: Morning Mood") for "O Fortuna". That would certainly get one's blood going.

Because books.
It was The Omen !
Which just made it weird for me, because that's the first and only time/place I had heard it so ... I expected Gregory Peck or someone to come out brandishing a cross.
I'm not sad about either of the elims. My people are still in it!

Ok. Since I can't even remember who Jonathan is, I'm happy.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
happy with the results. The look of complete destruction on Vitolio's face when they are announced in bottom three. That face I see quite a bit, it is devastating.
I am looking forward to Karla with him.
