In relationships with an open window, air conditioner: It was crazy long ago, even before Google and phones... and I still love this story and music, thank you so much from my heart.

The above is my first Phantom and Christine Daaé, and I found it later with Antonio Banderas. There are so many truly good artists performing this masterpiece, thank you all! It's a pleasure to listen to different variations on this theme.

In relationships with an open window, air conditioner: Book, Palais Garnier and rumours about Phantom...

Preparing a posts about a book and the author, later also a favorite movie and musical, I put the mentioned audiobook about the Ghost in the background and found myself deep in the night suddenly getting a scolding, that it's not good to sit up late, time to sleep. Read, listen, experience, and take care of your health, because you can fight the Ghost if you are strong in spirit and physically. Gaston Louis Alfred Leroux (6 May 1868 – 15 April 1927) was a French journalist and author of detective fiction. In the English-speaking world, he is best known for writing the novel The Phantom of the Opera (French Le Fantôme de l'Opéra, 1910), which has been made into several film and stage productions of the same name, notably the 1925 film starring Lon Chaney and Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical.

The Phantom of the Opera is a Gothic horror novel. It was first published as a serial in Le Gaulois from 23 September 1909 to 8 January 1910, and was released in volume form in late March 1910 by Pierre Lafitte. The novel is partly inspired by historical events at the Paris Opera during the nineteenth century, and by an apocryphal tale concerning the use of a former ballet pupil's skeleton in an 1841 production of Carl Maria von Weber's Der Freischütz. It has been successfully adapted into various stage and film adaptations. How it (novel) came to be. The setting of The Phantom of the Opera is the actual Paris opera house, the Palais Garnier. Leroux heard the rumours about the time the opera house was finished, and these rumours became closely linked with the novel. Act One of the opera Hellé had just finished, when a fire in the roof of the opera house melted through a wire holding a counterweight for the chandelier, causing a crash, that injured several and killed one. Using this accident paired with rumours of a ghost in that same opera house, Leroux wrote Le Fantôme de l'Opéra and published it in 1910, which was later published in English as The Phantom of the Opera. The underground "lake", that he wrote about, in reality an enormous cistern, does exist beneath the opera house, and it is still used for training firefighters to swim in the dark. The serialized version contains an entire chapter ("L'enveloppe magique"), that does not appear in the novel version—though much of its content was added in other chapters—and was not reprinted in English until 2014. The Palais Garnier itself is a labyrinth of gold, velvet, and shadows, stretching seventeen stories high and hiding myths within its walls. It is a monument, where the opulence of the nineteenth century meets the eerie whispers of the underground.

In relationships with an open window, air conditioner: June starts. Refrigerator in the rain.

JUNE. Number of days 30; latin name Junius, anglo-saxon name Aerra Litha "before Litha", frankish name Brachmanoth "break month"; June 2026 Strawberry Moon reaches its peak illumination late in the day on June 30th. However, you will feel the intense, productive energy for about three days before and after the exact peak. Moon names - Strawberry Moon, Rose Moon, Mead Moon, Hot Moon, Sun Moon, Strong sun Moon;zodiac signs - Gemini, Cancer; energies - commitment, love, good health, energy; holidays of the month - Litha, Occupation Day of the Republic of Latvia, Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Communist Genocide, Summer solstice, Midsummer's Eve, St. Peter's Day, Day of the Seven Sleepers. It seems, that the warrior, the mistress of chaos (me), will not be able to wear a leisure suit yet, as everything is still being sorted out. Hopefully, with God's help, not only I, but also others chained in deception and "blacklists" will receive freedom. The book business and profiteering on our love in the Baltic region. May was the last month during which one could lose weight. There's nothing more that can be done in time. Love your body as it is; it could be worse. The season for visual and crazy adventure stories about swimming spot fashion is starting everywhere. Memes with bleeding ears, eyes, nose (?) will be quite fitting. And remember to watch over your loved ones at swimming spots; life is more important, than unread messages on the phone or unspoken words with friends. Take care of yourself. Beware of times with poisonous sun, ticks, and insects, that hinder enjoyment. Some frightening and sad historical remembrance days and Summer Solstice, Midsummer's Eve, when light must be gathered for the rest of the year, so that during the dark autumn months, one can warm in its light. And then we prepare for the extreme heat or whatever else might come in July. All those with birthdays in June, may that day be special. Also for those celebrating name days. All, who read my blog have a successful June! And ty for hearts and reblogs.

Spring in the head and heart: May ends with Fullmoon!

🦁 How I fought for my Danmei collection (and why "regional bans" are a myth). Hello to all the followers, also who consume my content and danmei genre fans around the world and on this platform! This is a message to the danmei community in the Baltic region and the EU. Don't bend the knee to all individual order makers in your local bookstores, we multiply and if we are wronged, we speak up and warn others. We also await our rewards! 📚 My adventures with new series like IWTV, found my Lestat, watched the first episode and got stuck. It happens to me for the first time. The more you listen to what Hollywood offers - you understand how much you love books, previous films, series, when the world was normal relatively. The actors are not to blame, but the transformation of stories, culture, the blurring of truth, hiding it in the shadows - it will not be long = You dig your own grave, as far as I know fans can be very cruel on the Internet. In these days a few wrong moves, beliefs and your career is over! Instead create stories and do not stuff everything with algotitms and Ai. Maybe right now there is a book, a story, whose door is not open, but would be just right! Thank you for the Scottish castles today, the sword is my answer and thanks for the inspiration. I'm a fan of the Highlander series and movies. And I love Scotland even though I've never been there. Interesting phenomenon - politicians, bureaucrats this year cancel themselves, often on the radio, TV you can hear the phrase "the algorithm made us do it, say it!"

Spring in the head and heart: D’Artagnan’s body found more than 350 years after his death?

A skeleton, that could belong to d’Artagnan was discovered in a church in Maastricht, Netherlands, whose roots date back at least to the 13th century — during repair work following a floor collapse in February, a local media outlet reported on Wednesday. Louis XIV's famous musketeer died there in 1673. The location of the burial and the presence of a French coin support this theory. DNA analysis is currently underway in Munich. Charles de Batz de Castelmore, known as d’Artagnan, a famous musketeer for Kings Louis XIII and Louis XIV and originally from Lupiac (Gers), spent his life in service to the French Crown. In the 19th century, this Gascon gentleman inspired Alexandre Dumas to create the hero of The Three Musketeers, world-renowned today through the novel and numerous film adaptations. During the Siege of Maastricht in 1673, the musketeer was killed, likely by a musket ball. His final resting place had remained a mystery until now.

Spring in the head and heart: From wooden swords and feathers on a hat in childhood to cosplay now...how to romanticize your life in the style of the Three Musketeers?!

This book wasn't on my required reading list; I read it during a rainy summer. I've seen many versions, but the first ones were soviet musketeers played by famous russian actors, and from the english side, this film, I fell in love with. My deepest respect goes to those, who romanticize their lives by dressing in casual musketeer, pirate style. Alexandre Dumas (born Alexandre Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie; 24 July 1802 – 5 December 1870), also known as Alexandre Dumas père, was a French novelist and playwright. The Three Musketeers (French Les Trois Mousquetaires) is a French historical adventure novel written and published in 1844. It is the first of the author's three d'Artagnan Romances. As with some of his other works, he wrote it in collaboration with ghostwriter Auguste Maquet. It is in the swashbuckler genre, which has heroic, chivalrous swordsmen, who fight for justice. The Three Musketeers is a 1993 action-adventure comedy film from Walt Disney Pictures, Caravan Pictures, and The Kerner Entertainment Company, directed by Stephen Herek from a screenplay by David Loughery. The film is loosely based on the 1844 novel The Three Musketeers (Les Trois Mousquetaires) by Alexandre Dumas. It recounts the adventures of D'Artagnan on his quest to join the three title characters in becoming a musketeer. However, this adaptation simplifies and alters the story. It stars Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland, Chris O'Donnell, Oliver Platt, Tim Curry and Rebecca De Mornay. Kiefer Sutherland, Chris O'Donnell and Oliver Platt all endured six weeks of fencing and riding lessons. Disney decided against shooting the film on-location in Paris because much of the city's French Baroque architecture had been destroyed in World War II. After initially settling on Barrandov Studios in Prague, the production moved to Vienna after the local government offered $2 million. Principal photography began on April 26, 1993, with a budget of $30 million. The Three Musketeers was mostly shot in Perchtoldsdorf, Austria, where De Mornay attended high school and college. Filming locations included Charlestown, Cornwall, UK, and Castle Landsee, Burg Liechtenstein, Maria Enzersdorf, Seegrotte (Hinterbrühl), Korneuburg (Lower Austria); and Vienna (particularly Hofburg) in Austria. Some sequences were shot in Cornwall, UK. A small woods called Golitha Falls was used in one sequence when the musketeers are being pursued by guards. The small harbor village of Charlestown is home to the galleon that was used in a night-shoot. Bryan Adams co-wrote "All for Love" with Robert John "Mutt" Lange and Michael Kamen for the movie's end credits, performing it with Rod Stewart and Sting. Kamen also composed the movie's score, conducting the Greater Los Angeles All Star Orchestra. The soundtrack album was released on compact disc and cassette on November 12, 1993 by Hollywood Records and Columbia Records in North America and A&M Records (the label to which both Adams and Sting were signed at the time) elsewhere. Marvel comics. Disney's The Three Musketeers (January 1994).

Spring in the head and heart: Gayrovision, I don't understand why my country still participates.

The lady with the European vision celebrated her 70th birthday on Saturday. The Ninth Symphony composed by Ludwig van Beethoven in 1823, giving musical expression to Friedrich Schiller's 1785 poem "Ode to Joy" — and yet... seriously? This is my third time writing about Eurovision on Tumblr, and frankly, I expected a more dignified birthday party. Instead, we got flattened lemonade. A few high-class artists ended up at the wrong party, forced to dance on tables to slavic and arabic club rhythms. There was no sense of authenticity in the final — just copied costumes. And when I looked at the audience, it was mostly men, with barely any flags. I couldn’t even see the EU flag in the EU song contest. Warriors are responsible for their own words and deeds. So, here are my 10 favorites of 2026. 1)Thank you to the stage creators and those people we didn't see, but they were part of the big show too! You surprised me and so I sat most of the show exploring, what the stage offered. 2)Thank you to the evening hosts for the high-quality entertainment over all three evenings. For the songs, visual enjoyment, laughter, and the great atmosphere. 3)One of the best female vocalists from Latvia, Atvara, in the second semi-final. A powerful performance with a song telling a story about many families around the world and a real problem. As always, Latvians can beautifully express and sing about serious issues. 4)Portugal with 5 charming gentlemen, Bandidos do Cante - Rosa. Completely outside the Eurovision style, wonderful male voices, thank you. 5)Alicija - Pray (Poland). Another powerful lady with a voice. A silver corset reminiscent of armor. Accessories remind me of a lady I follow for her jewelry - making talent - Mariia Khas, shuwuu.shop. Slightly expensive for ordinary EU residents, but an interesting personality. 6)The Italians (Sal Da Vinci - Per Sempre Sì) this year reminded us of family values and demographic issues. 7)Ukrainian crane, Leleka - Ridnym. Easy, horizon, wide wings, dreams, and a bright future for Ukraine. I listened with wet eyes and a lump in my throat. Wishing you success! Regardless of the final place, come out stronger! 8)Croatia with Lelek - Andromeda. The Latvian relay baton passed on to folk ladies. Slightly reminiscent of nuns. If you understand the roots, you can figure out further - Earth guardians. 9)Norway with Ya Ya Ya (Jonass Lovv). A Norwegian Freddie Mercury style - joy and mischief coming through every time. Thank you. Yes, 70 years! 10)Look mum no computer - "Eins, Zwei, Drei!". I don't know about others, but for me, this was the British version of "Skip Beat!". Even the jumpsuit, just a soft pink. I wonder if anyone still remembers this cool manga and anime about Kyoko Mogami. 11)Malta with Aidan - Bella. I had heard about the Knights of Malta, but instead, a cowboy with a wonderful, unobtrusive voice for good romantic comedies arrived. A performance, where the viewer fantasizes, and not everything is laid out. 12)French Merelina with braids and a feminine, romantic, opera-worthy strong voice. Thank you, Monroe - "Regarde!" it was a true pleasure. I also enjoyed the singing along and other performances, like Parov Stelar and Zurcaroh - Welcome to the Funfair, that didn't compete, but created a pleasant atmosphere, like Lordi with 'Save Your Kisses for Me' (bat wings) and many other old and beloved songs over the years. 🤭 Honestly, I'm not thrilled about certain slavic attempts to return everywhere; we shouldn't sleep and allow it. If people can shout about arabs, then why are we silent about ukrainians, who protect our homes in Europe and the EU? It seems like hypocrisy!

Spring in the head and heart: light&dark of years after covid.

[dragonwaspsworld]

Spring in the head and heart: May starts!

May: number of days 31; latin name Maius, anglo-saxoson name - Thrimitcmotath "thrice milk month", frankish name - Winnemanoth "joy month"; moon names - Flower Moon, Fairy Moon, Milk Moon, Corn planting moon; holidays of month - Labor Day, Beltane, Day of Restoration of Independence of the Republic of Latvia, May Day, Europe Day, Walpurgis, Cetamain (céad shamhain); energies - development, growth, maturity, intuition.

May has begun! Maybe my clothes smell of smoke from the lit signal fire. There are things we must not remain silent about, no matter which generation we belong to - let's help each other! About things, that we like, connect with, help, or are simply passionate about. I see my favorite bookstore turning into a corporate client money thief, a swindler, who doesn't care about copyright, only greed. Does it have limits?! I can't say. And such stores are not alone, but several, that hypocritically express concern at conferences about children and youth not reading. Parental leave and childbirth are not computer game levels; the little human entering this world is not a project, but a living being for their entire life. If magazines and newspapers in print remain exclusive, elite in terms of price, then why be surprised, that people read online?! I can no longer afford a women's magazine, that had different opinions on many topics of interest. It's crazy! You brought it upon yourselves. Happy are those, who have home libraries. Outside, plums are starting to bloom, and the war in Ukraine continues with people dying. I would like to happily say, that I continue to order books from another store, but the topic is not yet over, and when you notice you are being deceived, you start seeing similarities around you. Essentially, we are being squeezed everywhere like through a meat grinder, because he/she will have no other alternatives, something here looks like a cartel. As Sam Reid, the actor portraying Lestat, said in an interview, he wants to remind society, that we are all still human. Waiting for Eurovision! All those with birthdays in May, may that day be special. Also for those celebrating name days. All, who read my blog have a successful May! And ty for hearts and reblogs.

Spring in the head and heart: April, April or Bang, Bang!

🦁 How I fought for my Danmei collection (and why "regional bans" are a myth). Hello to all the followers, who consume my content and danmei genre fans around the world and on this platform! This is a message to the danmei community in the Baltic region and the EU. Be cautious, when placing individual orders from John Rose. There is a new regime now, the "old guard" (those of us, who loved and enjoyed the store) are being replaced by doormats, candy discount customers, and dogs sitting on nails and whining. A culture of sycophants, who on their clients' money, perhaps also taxpayers' money, when people in the country are struggling, travel to Sharjah and other book conferences every month in different countries around the world. There, the external image is more important, and there's not a trace of fair treatment towards long-time clients. The "short leash" attitude towards anyone, who thinks or feels differently. Now they have one "persona non grata," from the black list. If you are a danmei fan and you resist their 'new order' or demand, what you paid for, that’s exactly, where you end up. They don't want fans; they want silent consumers. I'm a very angry danmei community fan and client. I am firing up my signal in the Baltic region, as a LOTR fan – the beacons are lit! Be careful!🔥 P.S. I received part of my order—the special edition of Erha Vol. 11 — but I have submitted a formal complaint to the Consumer Rights Protection Center regarding the missing SVSSS Vol.4 SE supplement. While waiting for a response, many disturbing details about them were revealed. I am now considering demanding a 75% discount on all future purchases for the next 11 years as compensation for the systematic deception I faced as a loyal customer. Never, ever mess with fans — not in your country, and not in the world!"

All credit to artists, writers, actors and gif makers, thank you I love your works.
