Sometimes, my throat closes up hopelessly when I'm singing wonderful music, too, even though I have a terrible singing voice.

Traumatic tears - Watching the movie <i>The Road</i>. Stunning film but emotionally VERY hard work, even for a hard bitch like me.<br /><br />2. Laughter tears - Watching <i>The Hotel Inspector</i> with the foxy Alex Polizzi. Every week is a scream (hands over mouth disbelief),tears of laughter.<br /><br />3. Beauty tears - Yes, if something is jaw-dropping and splendid. Recently, the BBC production of <i>Richard III</i>, particularly the opening sequence. A stunning visual evocation, and so exciting I almost cried.<br /><br />NxNigelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06072986056340150832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-16164492297384792292012-07-27T10:34:17.319+00:002012-07-27T10:34:17.319+00:00Any sad animal thing totally does me in...for week...Any sad animal thing totally does me in...for weeks.....any emotional music...opera ..choral...<br />Always if a friend is suffering for any reason..<br /><br />Oh and I did quite a bit of weeping when...The Mitten ..as I call him ....(mitt romney). )opened he's big "mouth that roared "and uttered yet another giant faux pas....<br />I hope to god you over there don't think he is a sample of regular america..he is not...what a dope!<br />I cry a lot!!
