Procrastination Station



I am a procrastinator, big time.  I pulled into Procrastination Station along about the time I got all the presents wrapped on Christmas Eve.  So far, I have not been able to build up enough steam to leave the station.  Which of course means, I am about 1200 items behind in my reader.  Although I have been reluctantly submissive to the siren call to collect hot photos of scantily clad men, I have nowhere near enough photos collected to provide an adequate sampling from which to choose for your review.  While I do feel slightly guilty for being a lazy slug for most of the week, it still does not mitigate the fact that I have truly been a fucking lazy procrastinator all week.  Rather than just leave you hanging with nothing to look at, I delved into my archives to come up with a collection that would suffice to quench your thirst for man candy and some music that will accompany you on your scroll down the page.  

First, your Weekend Musical Moment features the Violin Concerto by Robert Schumann with a performance by the WDR Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Jukka Pekka Saraste featuring Frank Peter Zimmermann on Solo Violin captured live at the Kolner Philharmonie.  Zimmerman also plays a Bach Sonata as an encore after the concerto.  While you are listening to this beautiful piece of music, cruise on down the page to check out these Stunning Sunday Sizzlers.  Surely one or more could add a little 'heat' to your weekend.  Thanks for sharing a part of your weekend with me, see you again on Monday for Music,  Men and More!  Until next time as always, Enjoy!

Happy Hump Day


Here it is Hump Day again already, this week seems to be flying by faster than I can keep up with.  However, I have managed to put together a little some, some for you guys today.  In keeping with our musical theme of composers whose last name begins with the letter 'S', today's featured composer is Robert Schumann.   The play list has two pieces by him; the first is a classic recording of Carnaval, Opus 9 performed by the great Piano Virtuoso, Claudio Arrau in 1961. The second piece is his Violin Concerto in D Major with a performance by Wesdeutscher Rundfunk (German Public Broadcasting) Symphony Orchestra Cologne conducted by Jukka Pekka Saraste featuring Frank Peter Zimmermann playing his 1711 Stradivarius Violin known as the Lady Inchiquin which once belonged to Fritz Kreisler and a short encore of the Andante from the Sonata for Solo Violin in A Major by Johann Sebastian Bach.  I then have some deliciously Lickable Lads lounging about the page for your visual edification after the play list.  The music and the men should get you over the hump and racing for the weekend in fine style.  Thanks for the visit, see you again tomorrow.  Until next time as always, Enjoy!
