Morning Glory

Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the flowers gone?
Girls have picked them every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?



Where have all the young girls gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young girls gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the young girls gone?
Taken husbands every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?


Where have all the young men gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young men gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the young men gone?
Gone for soldiers every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?


Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?


Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Covered with flowers every one
When will we ever learn?
When will we ever learn?

Les enfants seuls savent ce qu'ils cherchent.

Only children know what they are looking for

Probably the best book I've ever read. I love it. I really recommend reading it, whether it be in French or English, or what ever other language you want. I've actually read it in English, French, and Mandarin. And it's just as great in each language. Really, it's a great book. Imaginative, witty, and great for people of all ages. Plus, the illustrations are great. Really, I recommend it highly.

Talking to stars

I'm actually really curious about this film, Telstar. It's about the Tornados, which is the band that Muse frontman Matt Bellamy's father was in. Anyway, here's the trailer, it looks great:

I'm a Shakespeare nerd...

I was recently watching the 1995 film of Richard III (really good, by the way, I recommend it), and since I'd just been in a production of the same play, I thought it would be interesting to watch it again, since I'd watched it before I knew the play as well.
Now let me tell you, I pretty much spent the whole time obsessing over lines that were cut out or changed, and it was quite enjoyable. I'm a Shakespeare nerd, I admit.



Actually, the announcer's voice really annoys me...But, what can you do?

The cutest thing ever. And it looks so edible too.
