gwynOK, class, for the last time:
It's Nights in White Satin, not Knights in White Satin. Since the Moody Blues were talking about nights ... never reaching the end, as in, you know, endless nights, I'm pretty sure they didn't have in mind a bunch of fabric-draped members of the order of the British Empire kneeling before the queen to receive their honorific title for acting or singing pop songs, or medieval guys in armor jousting at each other through silky sheets. (OTOH, it was the psychedelic '60s and '70s, so who knows.)
And it's Keira Knightley, not Nightly or Nightley, although lord knows she is appearing nightly at your local gargantuplex in the new Pirates movie. There's a big fat K in front of her name that's kind of hard to miss at 20 feet high.
[And the slashy old dance movie from the '80s with Mikhail Baryshnikov and Gregory Hines? White Nights. NOT White Knights. Because 1) it's not about a couple of white guys acting chivalric and heroic, since, you know, Gregory Hines was black; and 2) it's referring to those ... white nights (doh!) they get in the far north near the Arctic circle in summer, when sun doesn't set. Those nights that never reach the end. You know. Like the song says.]
It's not that hard! /end word rant

Date: 2007-05-30 06:56 pm (UTC)I've actually been feeling quite good for the last few weeks, & I think it's because I've been taking 1200mg of omega-3/omega-6 with each meal. It's supposed to be good for depression, so I figured I'd give it a try. I don't know if it's really working, or if it's placebo effect, or what, but I feel like my base mood has risen from "anxious" to "happy." Anyway, it's something to consider.
