The Most Happiest, Healthiest and Sexiest City (Part 2)

[Shaka_Khan]

In response to the first The Most Happiest, Healthiest and Sexiest City thread, I have added the cities that were in demand. :san_wink:

[Dâriûsh]

Baghdad? Now that is unsexy, unhappy, and extremely unhealthy.


Anyway, I’ll repeat myself
Tehran is sexy, but unhappy and somewhat unhealthy.
Beirut is sexy, but unhappy and somewhat unhealthy.
Rome is sexy, happy, but somewhat unhealthy.
Paris is sexy, happy, but somewhat unhealthy.
And Dubai City is too expensive.

I suppose Paris wins again. But no city can beat Netanya in Israel, though Haifa is certainly also worth a visit.

[Sjakihata]

Osaka takes the lead!

edit: i voted for it because it had a cool castle.

[Beirut]

Beirut is sexy, but unhappy and somewhat unhealthy.



Why thank you. :bow:

If I get a giant screen Sony for Christmas and my asthma goes away, that will take care of the "unhappy and somewhat unhealthy" stuff.

[Kralizec]

I haven't even been in most of the cities listed, and since there's no GAH option I can't vote :san_sad:

[The_Doctor]

GAH Umeugrad would definitly win if it existed...

[AntiochusIII]

Do not underestimate Las Vegas, it is not known as the city for people 21 up for nothing. Entertainment capital of the world, we are.

I, of course, can't, and, strangely, do not, wish to participate in the sin city's endless naughty nights, due to age and personal preference.

Sexy? Of course. Unless you hate promiscuous women...and men. :P

Happy? This is tricky. Endless parties we certainly have, but happiness might be found anywhere, and too much party is not happy for the body and soul.

Healthy? Not Vegas, no.

[discovery1]

Yes! Las Vegas By Far!!!!

See, I got the infection.

:book: The Hobbit ― finished
:book2: LotR ― On p.300+ of The Fellowship

while I'm supposed to be :stupido: some :thrasher: at the :computer:

If you have to play EB without music when it's out, blame Sauron Tolkien! :charge:

Cubase ? FL ? Or basic ones like Noteworthy Composer (though I guess a rythm musician would need a loop based software) ?

I had borrowed Silmarillion from a friend.. And well.. I think he forgot all about the book..Like I did..

[Mouzafphaerre]

.
Noteworthy you guessed it. Touches here and there with Cakewalk if necessary but this time I may add some VST stuff on top should I find anything that suits me at the studio. :drummer:

So, is it the original, the book? :inquisitive:

Aah, good old Noteworthy. In high school I used to copy the musical notes from books into the program and enjoy the semi-owned music :san_cheesy: I had problems with connection among the notes though, but it's been quite time since that version and I think they must have progressed a lot.

In fact I'm quite interested in computer based music, I'd love to learn about Cakewalk or Cubase and VST plugins. Dance eJay series were quite easy to work with, I had prepared a 2.21 mins long track for a video clip of mine. And people had liked to listen to the video clip (you get it :san_laugh: )

About Silmarillion, it looks original... And quite enduring and stubborn for a book.. :san_rolleyes:

..Oh..Cities..Yes..Sorry.. :san_lipsrsealed:

[Dutch_guy]

Voted Amsterdam, great city , lot's of things to do, great atmosfeer, nice people and everything can be done walking.

OT :

LEN is the Silmarillion any good ?

I've read the 3 main books + the Hobbit, so does the Silimarillion add to the story ?

:balloon2:

It's clear, I think, Dutch Guy :san_grin:

However, friend says that Silmarillion is like the encyclopedia of Tolkien's fantasy world. It includes the previous ages' incidents, introductions to the main races and characters. One fan should read it, me thinks..

[Dutch_guy]

well thanks for the heads up, or should I say warning LEN.

Have no idea if I'm going to give it a go, probably will since I'm a fan of the series but haven't made up my mind just yet.

Silmarillion is pretty fun. It's all "epic" and melodramatic (imagine those super-exaggerated epithets used by Homer&co.) but it's nice to know how things used to happen before the Lord of the Rings' events.

Its writing style is different from LotR, though, and conversations aren't very "natural." Imagine reading Homer: you can't find any traces of normal (not dramatic, not epic, not storytelling) conversations in the Iliad whatsoever.

It also have different parts, or at least my version does. The earliest (a "Genesis" for LotR) part is very boring and confusing, the "Silmarillion" itself is pretty fun, and the "epilogue" (I can't remember the name of that part) reads like a timeline-based history book, which is fun for me since I'm a (yet another) Tolkein fanatic.

LEN, NWC is in the public beta stage of version 2 for the last couple of years. Much progress has been done but there is still a lot to be added/optimized. Cubase is completely alien territory for me, which I'll need to explore, and in Cakewalk I merely wandered with a tourist visa. :hippie: Just synchronizing some midi and audio tracks, playing with the volume here and there and copy-pasting.

There's a cool wiki portal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Middle-earth) for Tokien's stuff and this Encyclopedia of Arda (http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/default.asp).


The Silmarillion is a collection of J. R. R. Tolkien's works, edited and published posthumously by his son Christopher R. Tolkien, with assistance from fantasy fiction writer Guy Gavriel Kay. (...) The earliest drafts of The Silmarillion date back to as early as 1925, when Tolkien wrote a 'Sketch of the Mythology'. However, the concepts for characters, themes, and specific stories were developed starting in 1917 when Tolkien, then a British officer stationed in France during World War I was laid up in a military field hospital with trench fever. (...) He renewed work on The Silmarillion after completing The Lord of the Rings, when he greatly desired to publish the two works together. But when it became clear that would not be possible, Tolkien turned his full attention back to preparing The Lord of the Rings for publication.
His son, Christopher, finally edited and published it, and other works.

LEN, if it is the original (English, not translated) version I can buy it. :deal:

Well, in the previous posts above, I got you wrong. You know what "original" brings into your mind at first in Turkey :san_lipsrsealed: My book is a Turkish one :san_sad:

[Mouzafphaerre]

Yep. :san_embarassed: Well, I'll knock knock the ebay again then. :san_wink:

[Mikeus Caesar]

Happiest, healthiest and sexiest city? Baghdad!

[Fragony]

Silmarillion is like the encyclopedia of Tolkien's fantasy world.

Not a place I would like to go. Common, two guys from a world full of fairy's go through all sort of trouble to climb a mountain with a ring; if that doesn't scream closet homosexual I don't know what is.

[The Stranger]

All vote for Umeugrad

[Byzantine Prince]

Um, no New York, no vote from BP. :angryg: :angryg: :angryg:

[Mikeus Caesar]

All vote for Umeugrad

That's the most original thing i've heard in a long time.

If i could, i would give you a gold star!

:ave: well thank you my friend :rtwyes: :bow:
