A. (Sorry my spelling is bad. I never bothered to learn to spell out anything more than the abbreviations.But I think you'll get the phonetics at least.) Rall. (Rallantando) means gradually slow. It's like a ritardando. Quasi ad libitum means somewhat at your pleasure (like an ad lilb) meaning you get to play a little with the speed and style. but the "Quasi" means just a little. con passione means with passion. Play with emotion and feeling. Con molta espressione means with lots of passion. Like the one above times two! Marcato is a type of accent. more than a staccato and less than a "roof top" accent. A slight "attack" on the note. If you ever really get stuck and need a quick answer, all music is Italian and you can use google… [cont.]

A. I'll bet you a cookie that Jesus ain't God's niece. EDIT: To the people thumbing me down or otherwise reacting negatively... if you can't occasionally poke fun/laugh at yourself, there's really no hope for you. Lighten up!

Does anyone else think that Angelina Jolie is weird looking?
Q. If she looked like this I would agree with people who thinks that she is beautiful. But, she doesn't look like that. That picture is the work of about four hours in a make up chair and a lot of air brushing. She looks quite different ad libitum. Why do some have to assume that I am jealous or that this is a case of sour grapes or something. It just comes down to: "do I want to pay eight or more dollars to look at that person for over two hours. In my case the answer is no. If you would, I don't care. The tension comes up when friends want to see a movie with her in it and I vote no. Then as you can imagine an argument (mild) ensues. That is all I am talking about.
