^We've all seen this picture, but, if you click on it, it's really quite interesting. What I want to propose, (mainly for very slow typists like me), is a single symbol for "Click to enlarge".
How about the circonflex above the 6?

What the heck is this image? I thought this was my लैपटॉप, बुत थे
and who or what enabled transliteration? I feel like Mr Jones in Dylan's song,
"Something is happening, but you don't know what it is, do you, Mr Jones?"
My brothers gave me this beautiful machine for my sixtieth birthday with the specific proviso that only I should use it.
They knew that I had had to take the desktop to the computer nerd shop several times, because it had been overloaded with children's junk.
So this was to be for me and me only.
My wife wheedled my password out of me, set up her own and I don't know who wheedled hers out of her, but now all five of us use it. I think the cat and the dog have a go at it from time to time.
So anther long sticky weekend comes to an end. No end for the inactivity or poverty for me though.
Last night Cathy had a girl friend over and I got out of their way. Cathy gave me 40 dollars and Matthew drove me down to Dundas Square. I headed for the cinema there which has twenty five screens.
On her girl friend's recommendation, I saw "Her Sister's Keeper", I smiled a lot, (I always do when I am close to tears), and then shed quite a few. I loved every moment of it.
Transit home was really quite quick and I had my second favourite sear on the streetcar. The meal I had made for them had been a success. We talked with another girlfriend, who had joined them late, until after midnight. I slept really well until past ten.
We have had wonderful lightning storms all weekend. Does anyone else remember when cars were not necessarily leak proof in heavy rain? How far we have come! And my mother used to remember a time when automobiles were very expensive toys for the very rich.
The radio is playing a song from before my time, (Elmo's Tune(?)), but typical of the orchestral tunes I used to hear when I was a boy. I am thrilled with a recently bought present for my brother's 55th. Two discs from the late fifties of Ella, Louis and Oscar too. All for eleven dollars. I was just very lucky to find what I was willing to pay any price for for very little.

Tom Waits - "All The World Is Green"
I fell into the ocean
When you became my wife
I risked it all against the sea
To have a better life
Marie you are the wild blue sky
And men do foolish things
You turn kings into beggars
And beggars into kings
Pretend that you owe me nothing
And all the world is green
We can bring back the old days again
And all the world is green
The face forgives the mirror
The worm forgives the plow
The questions begs the answer
Can you forgive me somehow?
Maybe when our story's over
We'll go where it's always spring
The band is playing our song again
And all the world is green
Pretend that you owe me nothing
And all the world is green
We can bring back the old days again
And all the world is green
The moon is yellow silver
Oh the things that summer brings
It's a love you'd kill for
And all the world is green
He is balancing a diamond
On a blade of grass
The dew will settle on our grave
When all the world is green
In "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly". I haven't seen a better film this year. For a long time I avoided it because I thought it would be boring. Not at all, although I was glad to watch it on DVD and take breaks to make tea or just think about a scene. I've had a long problem with Tom Waits. His tattoos and rough persona, hard drinking, smoking and so on put me off, but I keep hearing his songs in films and think , "who's that? He's great". Another time I tracked a movie song down to Damien Rice, bought two CDs and found that the song in the film is, by far, his best. I hope to be able to put it here, although I think I posted it already a long time ago.
If you made it to the end of the film, like me you might like the song better than the film. But actually, I did not notice it in that film, which I rather disliked. The song was also in a much more heart warming Italian film, I think the one about this guy roaming around Rome on his motor scooter. I just cannot think of how to track it down at this time. Maybe my friend, Anonymous, would know, (?).
