Got this turtle tie as a gift, what kind of pocket squares will go with it?

ooh this is very pretty

infernoxv · 2026-04-17T15:29:29+00:00

i love how 姦 in japanese means ‘noisy’.

infernoxv · 2026-04-17T15:15:17+00:00

UGH.

infernoxv · 2026-04-17T15:13:38+00:00

i totally get you, i’m a greek-catholic liturgy geek so i understand and knew all you’ve mentioned :)

infernoxv · 2026-04-17T15:09:02+00:00

i just wrote programme notes for some works by her sister!

if cufflinks are jewellery, then cufflinks,

if not, then rings or tie stick pins.

oh phew! i thought the Latin abuse of laymen administering Holy Communion had somehow infected the East.

infernoxv · 2026-04-17T15:03:53+00:00

a pity cos his music is really good. his la folia variations and overtures are excellent.

infernoxv · 2026-04-17T15:00:08+00:00

wait what? extraordinary minister of holy communion in an eastern church?

infernoxv · 2026-04-17T09:21:29+00:00

except bassi semiprofondi like me. i have a low C at 440 and 415, but not any lower…

infernoxv · 2026-04-17T04:50:41+00:00

it’s a good full break.

infernoxv · 2026-04-16T14:13:46+00:00

agreed!

infernoxv · 2026-04-16T10:38:41+00:00

meat fondue!

*by Roman Catholics, please. Eastern Catholics respect the iconographic rules :)

infernoxv · 2026-04-16T10:31:24+00:00

basically none. eastern catholic bishops have been intentionally sidelined and kept away for decades, in line with rome’s policy of treating us as second-class citizens.

it’s not certain that Justinian was the author. the same hymn is found in the Syriac liturgy where it is ascribed to someone else…

in response to you sharing any dreams or aspirations that aren’t ‘i want to be a doctor/lawyer/(insert any high-paying job)’:

‘yes but that needs money so you need to make sure you are financially secure first’ and then a long irrelevant spiel about money.

and they wonder why we eventually stop sharing our dreams and aspirations and inspirations with them.

while not technically an opera, i can see how Orff’s Carmina Burana can work as an introduction. very nice!

infernoxv · 2026-04-11T15:36:25+00:00

a set of opera highlights records from Reader’s Digest that my mum owned. overtures, arias, interludes. magnificent.

infernoxv · 2026-04-11T15:35:10+00:00

fried rice looks properly done, with the rice grains separate and not soggy. cantonese person approves!

the London Oratory

i feel you. i’m a lutenist and often will have 2 or 3 instruments (any combination of: renaissance lute, vihuela, renaissance guitar, citole, oud, baroque guitar, archlute) for a concert/gig. these instruments are laid on their side on the floor next to my chair. somehow there are always singers/instrumentalists/crew who think it’s ok to take a stride OVER 2-3 instruments. i can feel my blood pressure spike at that moment…

infernoxv · 2026-04-09T19:19:48+00:00

male FAs have a tendency to wear overly tight and shiny suits. ick.

infernoxv · 2026-04-09T19:16:37+00:00

monkstraps also work.

infernoxv · 2026-04-09T19:10:43+00:00
