I resized some more of Viggo's pictures, but before I'll post them, I'm giving you these:

Viggo sings 1/2 Red, taken from Recent Forgeries

Chaco, taken from Recent Forgeries is a little Spanish poem that I adore. The fact that I love Viggo's voice when he reads Spanish has nothing to do with me posting this. Honestly.

Bedtime Story For Henry, also taken from Recent Forgeries, inspired me to write the short story "Bedtime Story". Especially for llanowar1977 who liked my story. That's where I got the first spark to write it.

many thanks for posting the story which inspired you to yours!
It's a good story :D

But to be honest I liked your story more *laugh*
Perhaps because I lived through a thunder storm like you described it.
So it was kind of personal for me :D

Oh, wow. First off, really sorry that this has taken so long, and that I don't think that I'm going to get to the art before I have to pass out. Stupid only 24 hours in a day. Stupid body needing at least two or three of sleep.

I've heard him reading stuff before, but I've never heard it without music, really, or (in the first one,) with any sort of cohesion between the music and the words. I believe that I've mentioned to you before that I usually find this kind of stuff a little mockable if it's not done veryexactlyright, but this was so much better than what I've heard that I'm wondering if I've only heard really early stuff, and it's improved dramatically since then.

Word on the Spanish poem - I'm too tired right now, but I'll translate it in the morning, because I want to know what it says. Frustratingly, I speak just enough Spanish to read it fairly well, write it well enough when inspiration strikes, (I have one poem in Spanish that I quite liked - I've not read it in a year or two. I'll have to dig that out.) but I can't speak it for crap, and my comprehension of spoken Spanish is a bit dodgy.

More about my feelings on language than you cared to know, I'm sure.

Also, you know what you ought do with the paid accout? We ought get you a calling card so that you can make a phonepost of yourself reading some of your poetry. That'd be so rad, man. So rad.

More coherent stuff in the morning (afternoon), I should think - It's nearing seven a.m. now, though, and I've been up since about nine yesterday morning. I feel like I sleep less and les anymore - When there's things that I want done, sleep is always the first thing to get sacrificed for them. Bad habit.

Anyhow, thank you so much for posting those. I have them in my MP3 folder now so that I can listen to them over and over.

kisses.

sorry for spamming you *sheepish grin* but I dropped in here from someone on my flist, and I'm on a really big Viggo kick right now *s* so wanted to thank you for giving me some Viggo goodness :))
