So after a long absence...

WE HAVE BEEN REVIVED.

Of sorts. I think the new template is incentive to post. Or maybe the fact that I'm sick at home and bored (no, I Did Not Pon). Anyway it is a nasty flu so I have been out of action for pretty much all of today--in fact I think I spent most of today sleeping. That or drinking barley. My mom had a tea party thing to celebrate one of her friend's 49th birthday (!!!!) but I have been unable to eat the chocolate cake. It's from Lana's bakery! So upsetting.

Anyhow the colour of the blog reminded me of the fever medicine I used to have when I was younger (the kids' sort... cherry flavoured I think but tasting terrible) hence this post. Sorry, Claud, I don't mean it as an insult. ;p

This is a poem by Louis Macneice, called "Prayer Before Birth".

In other news. Why is there so little to post about nowadays? =( Oh well anyway for all you applying-to-Cambridge people the equivalent of the Oxford Norrington Table is the Tompkins Table; google it and it should turn up.

Do you think that the word 'google' will start appearing in dictionaries any time soon?

This is Ariel Sharon's speech on the Gaza pullout, which I think it pretty admirable.
"With God's help this path shall be one of unity and not division, and not animosity between brothers, of unconditional love and not hatred."
