Donner & Blitzen II

WE'VE A PITTERPATTERER OF A THUNDERSTORM clitter-clattering outside. And flickers of lightning. And thunder doing the funky zigzag thunder "thang" pinky-ponky-dinky-donky-DOOM!! Man, I love that thang!! It's raining too hard for me to rush go get my double cheeseburger from McDonalds. How vulgar. And I've left my brollie behind. Which is doubly inconvenient...

O! Here we go again...

swissssh~swashhh!! (the cars)
squizzle~flizzle (the rain)
SHIZZLE (that was lightning!!)
o! and here we go again...
pinky-ponky-dinky-donky-BHOOOOMMMMHH!!
oo! & yetagain: flish-fash-a-flash-dash-traaash!! ~ more lightning
(poo-boom!) (meagre thunder)
now Hindi film music's playing in the background. why do all those female bollywood voiceoverdubbers have such incredibly "bright" voices... they all sound like one and the same woman no matter what the music or the film ....
mmm

now it's a man singing. i don't mean to be "funny" but he sounds like he's straining to expel a turtle's head into the lavvy pan
flick-flash
tinky-tinky-tinky-donkey-tonkey-poo-BOO-per-BOOOMMM!

wow: that was a good one
all cars have their headlights on just to be atmospheric. they're swishing through puddles that weren't there ten minutes ago.
flash-a-bash
shiggery-piggery-ziggery-piaoung-gghnng!

man! that was funky thunder
swish-swash-plish-a-plash-SPLASH!
hoo-hoo-haargh! a woman outide with a transparent Queen Mother stylee umbrella just got splashed up the Chanel-looking business suit. O dear.
(ffl-ck(kh))
SHTONKA-TOOOMMB!~OOMB~OO~KHQUIAOUGH~KKHQQV~Q~CHTUOMMppq!
THAT was unexpected

    We had a LOT of lightning and thunder here above Amsterdam as well. Almost daily past week. I usually love it but I wasn't too happy when it woke me up a few times...

  8. Thanks for dropping by my blog. Yes, both Chinese and Indian music use microtonal scales, but the western twelve tone equal temperament is becoming popular throughout the world, so the music you heard might not be microtonal or could be an Indian scale that is close to twelve tone equal temperament. Actually, our modern tuning system has only been around for a few hundred years, so every every country has a history of microtonal music and many still use microtonal scales.
