Well, sort off. They switched a couple of letters, thinking I wouldn't notice. The sneaks! Pictured is the Xynergi Keyboard from Fairlight. It's part of Fairlight's Xynergi Media Production Centre.
That's alright. There's already a drug which bears my name.
(I think it might be a multi-vitamin. Just a guess.)

| Hopeless Romantic on Forbidden Love I just realized tonight, after watching Shakespeare in Love, that I've recently been watching films about star-crossed lovers, and Love conquering and enduring against all odds.
If you've seen this take on William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, then you know how the play and the tale intertwine in the film. In this movie, the play witnessed by Queen Elizabeth had shown how true love can be — not all happy and sappy and blissful — but depressing and desperate and dreadful — what with having murder and suicide in it.
My favorite collection (lately and of all time) includes Breakfast at Tiffany's which is essentially about an escort in love with a so-called writer living off of his sugar mama. Then there's Moulin Rouge! about a courtesan who falls in love with a charmingly bohemian, penniless writer; while suffering from the possessiveness of a clueless duke; and — on a less metaphorical note — from consumption.
Then we have Sweet Home Alabama about a southern girl who transplants herself in New York City, gets engaged to the city mayor's son, then realizes that she's given up all her heart to (and was still very much in love with) her first husband, her childhood sweetheart from the deep south.
And, of course, who can forget about one of the most forbidden loves of all? Harold and Maude, a story about a young man obsessed with death and dying, who befriends (and later falls in love with) an elderly woman, old enough to be his grandmother, who — in her ripe old age — was still fascinated with living life to the fullest?
All these films are sweet and bitter all at once. And I find that they reflect much of the real world, life and true love, for the most part. Sometimes I wish I could write stories like these. Then, sometimes I think I would much rather live them.
But, only if there's a happy ending.

It was too cute not to share. (Sigh, I want my Rottie with me.)
