A Quick slide show of my Garden progress. I've only been working on it for a month now, but I'm quite pleased with the progress. The first pictures are of an Oriental rock garden at the front of my house. Following are pictures of the forest behind my house and a few subtle changes I've made, notably the stone steps and the saving of a dying Japanese Maple and Bay tree. If there are any plants you wish me to identify for you, just ask and I'll let you know. And before anyone asks where I bought it, the stone bench was something I made using stone I found on the mountain. ^_^ Lots of work still to go.

A short film by Greg Vandentillaart. Music by Arvo Part. One stressed out director, one exhausted crew, three very tired and unrehearsed actors sitting in a smoke filled Manhattan apartment, sometime between 9pm-5am. That's all I remember.

I didn't want to be the only cat owner not to have a cat vid, so here she is. 5 Months old, 8 lbs. Her name is 'Petit Chaton Difficile'. But we sometimes call her bear when she's being cudly, or 'petit merde' when she's being vicious. I hope you forgive the awful french, but I'm trying to teach her a second language.....what's crazy about that?

After Mozart's death, his understudy 'Franz Xaver Süssmayr', at the behest of Mozart's wife, completed the missing parts of the Requiem. Requiem Mass was first performed on January 2, 1793, in a private concert for the benefit of Mozart's grieving wife, Constanze Mozart. The Following are the lyrics, translated from their Original Latin Grant them eternal rest, Lord, and let perpetual light shine on them. You are praised, God, in Zion, and homage will be paid to You in Jerusalem. Hear my prayer, to You all flesh will come. Grant them eternal rest, Lord, and let perpetual light shine on them. Lord, have mercy on us. Christ, have mercy on us. Lord, have mercy on us. Day of wrath, day of anger will dissolve the world in ashes, as foretold by David and the Sibyl. Great trembling there will be when the Judge descends from heaven to examine all things closely. The trumpet will send its wondrous sound throughout earth's sepulchres and gather all before the throne. Death and nature will be astounded, when all creation rises again, to answer the judgment. A book will be brought forth, in which all will be ...

Sorry about the lousy quality, my mic is not the best. All of this is cold reading, so forgive the lack of fluency in my dictation. I also have a nasty hangover lol. I think my Mel Gibson 'Wallace' Accent is perfect.
