See that cave up on the mountain, near the tall pine? A pixie named PWheeler lives there. PWheeler has made a special potion. Anyone who drinks it and climbs the pine tree can touch the stars. Hearing this, Sophy was excited. She skipped up to PWheeler's cave. "Pixie PWheeler give me your potion!" PWheeler knew Sophy was a good girl, and handed her a teaspoonful of potion. Sophy drank it eagerly and climbed to the top of the pine tree. "I've touched the stars! Now how do I get down?" "I'm inventing that potion," PWheeler replied. "It'll take a week." |
Mighty Maryann, mistress of Marvel Mango Milkshake Makers managed menu mischief all Monday morning. That's because Maryann's meandering Monkey made mistakes, missing mandatory messages, messing main masalas, mixing melted marshmallows. Customers cried, "Culinary catastrophe!" causing crowd convergence on competitor's cafe. Cash, credit, calmed - ceased. Jolly Jim jogged up, jiggling jelly in a jar. "Just jam it in with jaggery," he justified. "Rot," Monkey retorted rudely. "Ratatouille is right, jelly and jaggery just jar the jealous." Jolly Jim jammed the jelly and jaggery. Customers commented, "Congratulations!" "Apologize, Ape," Maryann advised. Monkey said "I'm sorry" and they all lived happily ever after. |
Once upon a time on the Galapagos Islands lived a giant turtle named Lornda. Lornda liked nothing better than to walk slowly round the island, munching on her favourite leaves. All the other creatures respected her and loved her, as she was the biggest and oldest living being on the island. One day, a man named Charles Darwin came to study the local flora and fauna. Everyone was surprised to see a human there, but Lornda, ever polite, offered him a leaf to eat to welcome him. "Animals are more evolved than humans," Darwin concluded. "They are politer and kinder." |

Deadl..." You know what? I'm actually glad I didn't understand too many of the lyrics. As it is, the song creeped me out. I wouldn't want to watch / listen again. I guess it's about mental health and it's very disturbing. The tune seems lyrical the visuals made my skin crawl. I guess at some deep level I'm afraid to write anything about the substance of this song. So I'm going to write about one visual, fleetingly seen Old fashioned typewriters I love those. I've learnt on a typewriter that's older than I am, my Dad bought it with his hard-earned money when he was a student at UCLA. I have all three of his typewriters still I refuse to part with them. Maybe I should get them serviced and start using them. That was the one thing that I could write about in this song the old fashioned typewriters. |

Deadl..." Oh my goodness!! This one brought forth so many memories Of sitting with Mom and watching the Grammy nominations Just took me back - what - thirty years? More! Girls just want to have fun Uptown Girl What's love got to do with it like a Virgin I just called to say I love you We'd watch and we'd talk about some of them. This particular one was heard often, but not discussed much. What's love got to do with it by Tina Turner got discussed more. Cyndi Lauper's other one - True Colours - that's the one that really touched us Funny when I can't relate to the music I come up with a poem!! When I can -- I just sort of babble on. I guess it's the emotion. Memories! |

![]() I don't have a Valentine. I feel happy for the people who do have a Valentine and can celebrate the day. Sometimes, I feel a bit jealous, too. Or even a lot jealous. But then, romantic love isn't the only sort of love. I don't have romantic love but I have lots of the other kinds. So it's all good. To everyone who has a true Valentine and is celebrating: Be grateful for what you have! ![]() |

Deadl..." They create the fantasy who face the most reality Hard physical work intense mental concentration Keep your emotions at bay. They create the fantasy Who know the reality Costume changes, no privacy they see you naked Keep your emotions at bay They create the fantasy of soaring to great heights who know most what it's like to fall - and as you plummet Keep your emotions at bay They juggle objects as they juggle people Grasping and letting go never holding on With their emotions at bay |
I've been having melt downs lately, I guess the grief of Dad's death is hitting. The biggest blessing has been the number of people who have immediately understood and supported me. Like for instance, I wasn't able to fill out a form today (in spite of enlarge photocopying it) and got upset. (For those who don't yet know, my eyesight is weak.) Immediately, my neighbour came over and filled it out for me. What a blessing. Then, on Jan 31, there was a lecture hosted by an advertising agency I worked for 30 years ago. I was iffy about whether I'd attend or not, because of these melt downs. Two friends urged me to do so, and I did. It was a lovely evening. The lecture itself was great and the warmth of the people around -- including the owners of the agency who remember me and asked about my pursuits -- made me feel all fuzzy. People are lovely. |
