Just to have something to write, the Friday Five asks:
At this moment, what is your favorite...
1. ...song?
Yesterday, I couldn't get enough of Phillip Glass' Third Symphony, mainly because I've just seen The Fog of War, which featured Phillip Glass music during almost the entire movie. I'm not sure that really answers the favorite song question. Some of my favorites *all* the time are Mortal City, by Dar Williams, and Flowers are Red, by Harry Chapin...but most anything that tells a great story that really makes me think could slip in there as a favorite depending on my mood.
2. ...food?
Eggplant Parmesan, I think.
3. ...tv show?
I really don't watch much TV at all, other than the news (which I do not count as a show). I think the only thing that I watch consistantly every time I think of it at the right time is Bon Appétit, Bien Sûr...a twently-minute gourmet cooking show that runs every day at 11:30 or so on the third channel.
4. ...scent?
When I read that the first time, I thought it meant perfume. I like Amarige, from Givenchy. But then I realized that scent probably means in the larger sense of the word...in which case, my favorite scent would be cinnamon-apple-y things baking. (Not candles that smell like cinnamon-apple-y things baking, mind you...although those are nice too...my favorite scent is the real thing.)
5. ...quote?
Since this says "at this moment"...that's tough. There were piles of things that Robert McNamara said in The Fog of War the other day that I was wishing I could write down. But I didn't (because in France people don't move a muscle during movies...much less risk making *noise* by unzipping a purse to get a pda...amen).
So let's go with some Wilcox lyrics...
This quote is from a song that never made it to an album, and I think the idea eventually got morphed into "You will always have what you gave to love" in Deeper Still, which I don't like nearly as much as the other "orignal" tune and lyrics. If someone (David?) can correct me on my Wilcox trivia here, please do!
Anyway, here's the quote (and this isn't on the 'net anywhere that I know of, so I'm just saying it from memory--and hey, I guess *now* it is on the 'net):
The only kind of love that makes a lifetime into a life well-lived, the only kind of love that ever fills you, is the love you give.
