the cataract of cascading style sheets.
I should have made me own website for politics and culture. Still and all... it's amusing to see how a when things go right in a small way, in my head I am the king of the world, and of course, any obstacle arrives, and it's all for shit.
Wifi? laptop? Ipod? emachines?
The Owl by Tennyson
I.
WHEN cats run home and light is come,
And dew is cold upon the ground,
And the far-off stream is dumb,
And the whirring sail goes round,
And the whirring sail goes round;
Alone and warming his five wits,
The white owl in the belfry sits.
II.
When merry milkmaids click the latch,
And rarely smells the new-mown hay,
And the cock hath sung beneath the thatch
Twice or thrice his roundelay,
Twice or thrice his roundelay;
Alone and warming his five wits,
The white owl in the belfry sits.
Also I heard this great SOng by Bob Snider on WWOZ (that's my new thing) about good luck and couldn't find it anywhere.
then there's trv party and the simpson songs on wwoz sat night -- don't forget.
