Saturday 20th November 2010Today's photo is my sister, cooking. We made fajitas for dinner and she was cold, so had a blanket tied around her. We watched 'Alice in Wonderland' and generally chilled out. Nice evening.
Earlier in the day I'd done some scribing for a physics scholarship exam and had a good meeting with my friend that I'd argued with. It's nice to know that however long you've known someone they can still surprise you. The argument was stupid - emails are such a bad way to communicate. But things are ok now.
Quote of the Day:
Today's quote is the wonderful 'Jabberwocky' poem by Lewis Carroll:
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves
and the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade when snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves
and the mome raths outgrabe.
