Or, if you're in a lighter mood, read _The Importance of Being Earnest_, a complex, silly, wonderful little farce. I forgot to plug my current read during my last post (I posted three "just finished" and not one "currently working on"! Why didn't anyone stop me?) It's _Giant Bones_, by Peter S. Beagle (a fantastic fantasy author), a collection of short stories set in the same world as _The Innkeeper's Song_, which I also recommend. I'm also re-reading (from my salad days) _Lettres de Mon Moulin_ ("Letters from my mill/windmill"; I have no idea what the title is in English), by Alphonse Daudet. And someone mentioned "If On A Winter's Night A Stranger", the title of which of course reminded me to plug _A Winter's Tale_, by Mark Helprin, one seriously loopy (but beautifully written) book. Not for everyone, but if you're willing to throw your notion of "plotline" out the window, give it a whirl. Has anybody mentioned Ursula K. LeGuin yet? Everyone go out and pick up the Earthsea trilogy (A Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan, The Farthest Shore) if you're at all into high fantasy. Also get _Labyrinths_ by Jorge Luis Borges. I keep meaning to read the rest of his stuff, but "Labyrinths" is as far as I've gotten--it's his collection of wonderful, odd, thought-provoking short stories, parables, and random thoughts. Heavier going (more accurately, weightier going), but well worth it. While you're at it (this is all complete free-association, by the way), get _The Thirteen Clocks_, by James Thurber, for a fairy tale gone completely nuts (in a good way). It's short and sweet. Buy a copy for yourself and one for your kids. As long as I'm mentioning kids' books, I must speak up about William Pene du Bois' classic _The 21 Balloons_. Sheer wonderment. Before I go (feel free to shush me any time you want) , Barry Hugart has a great trio of fantasy/mystery novels set in ancient China: _Bridge of Birds_ and _The Story of the Stone_. I haven't gotten through _Eight Skilled Gentlemen_ yet; the person who lent me his copy asked for it back. - --nicole twn promises to be quiet now. *** "You're not going crazy, you're going sane in a crazy world!"--The Tick Visit Nicolopolis! http://wwwcsif.cs.ucdavis.edu/~carlsonn Reply-to address is INCORRECT!

Well, while I'm sitting here pretending that I don't need any sleep... Every Christmas morning, my sisters would get up around 6:00am, run downstairs to peer at their presents, and then back up to my room where my grandmother and I were sleeping so that they could wake us up. I had a small b/w tv in my room and we would watch Superted until we could go wake up my parents. Superted was a cartoon about a bear and a Spotty Man who saved the earth from evil personages. The only other person besides my siblings who recall this cartoon (and also another cartoon called Count Duckula) is my British exchange student from high school. Also, I used to watch a show called Swan's Crossing in high School where Sarah Michelle Gellar (aka Buffy) played this bitchy little rich girl. Oddly enough, interviews never mention this show as her big break into stardom! ;) I shall now return to giving my webpage a small makeover.

Just wanted to thank everyone, and Fiona in particular, for the devastating wit contained on her webpage. It actually served research purposes tonight, when my little scholar needed to construct some haiku, and didn't quite grasp the idea of taking a large concept and reducing it to the bare imagery essentials. Rather than running up to the library for lots of lovely nature poetry he probably wouldn't relate to all that well, and would think was kind of wussy, (and God forbid a ten-year-old should emulate a wussy example), I simply pulled up this page of brilliant reductions of original content he knows all too well. He laughed. And laughed. And also, rather importantly, he GOT IT. And so, convinced it was not a task beyond his abilities, (hey, if mom can write these things anyone can), he proceeded to write 4 of his own, including an absolutely hilarious Star Trek appreciation.

I vaguely remember Count Duckula, but he was a little after my time - he must have been when I was at the age where I was too old to watch cartoons as a kid, and too young to appreciate them from an adult point of view. Same with Dangermouse, though I recall that as being a little later. Wasn't the sidekick's name Penfold?

When I visited Glastonbury several years ago, I visited the ruins of the Glastonbury Abbey where I was told that King Arthur was originally buried under the high altar in the abbey's cathedral. (The spot is marked clearly for all us tourists.) However, during the many wars over the centuries, and the demolition of the cathedral in the 1500s after King Henry VIII dissolved the abbeys, King Arthur's body was at some point removed from his resting place and either scattered to the winds, or just reburied somewhere unknown. The person who told me this was a priest at the abbey. He also told me that the water from the Chalice Well was red because the holy grail is resting at the bottom, and that it had healing qualities. (Geologists think it's red because there is a high iron content in the water.) However, I did drink the healing waters from the well, and my cold DID go away. Coincidence? Maybe...maybe not. My logic is thus: Since the priest didn't lie to me about the well, I don't think he would lie to me about King Arthur.

However, that is changing. You mentioned the new SHR CD, there is also a CDROM that my neices and nephew have that has activities built around the original cartoons. And all the cartoons (Well not all, but the most famous ones) are built into the CDROM. It was pretty cool.
