charlotte 1 minute
Charlotte went down to the brook behind her grandparents house
her mom and dad were overseas
her brother was at soccer practice practicing kicks
her grandparents were playing bridge
Charlotte crossed the brook on a wooden bridge
made of fallen trees, a giant kicked over
and climbed up an embankment
Charlotte's mom works in a bank
she wears a vest with a pocketwatch
Charlotte's dad works at home
he writes stories for a mystery quarterly
The embankment looked over a field
past that a mountain range
her mom and dad were overseas
her brother was at soccer practice practicing kicks
her grandparents were playing bridge
Charlotte crossed the brook on a wooden bridge
made of fallen trees, a giant kicked over
and climbed up an embankment
Charlotte's mom works in a bank
she wears a vest with a pocketwatch
Charlotte's dad works at home
he writes stories for a mystery quarterly
The embankment looked over a field
past that a mountain range
Portal, video game of the year imo.

I'm making a note here: GREAT SUCCESS. To avoid spoilers I've agreed to a 2 month moratorium, this will also give me a chance to play episode 1 and 2 of HalfLife2.
Get the orange box if you get one non-casual game in your life.
For casual play I would say Tetris, though I hear good things about Puzzle Quest.

"If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry. These are the only ways I know about it. Is there any other way?"
il pentamerone

Il Pentamerone is essentially the first full collection of European literary fairy tales. Written by Giambattista Basile and published in 1634-6, the Italian tales predate Charles Perrault by at least 50 years and the Grimm Brothers by 200 years. The book is not as well known today since it was originally written in the difficult Neapolitan dialect and was not translated into English until 1847 by John Edward Taylor. However, the book contains stories that are very similar to well-known tales such as Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, Snow White, and others.
