Best wishes for a speedy recovery Lily! [In reply to] Can't Post

and as for books..

Creativity Inc. by Ed Catmull

I heard about this one on NPR, and looked it up on Amazon. The NPR interview with Ed Catmull of Pixar was fascinating.

"a book for managers who want to lead employees to new heights, a manual for anyone who strives for originality, and the first ever trip into the nerve center of Pixar Animation.."

I'm most interested in Pixar, and what the head of a fantastically creative outfit has to say to the rest of us on the subject.

Shakespeare's The Empire Striketh Back. This is too funny. [In reply to] Can't Post

LANDO [aside]
How shall I play this? Shall I distant be?
Nay, then he shall become suspicious and
May have some cause to fear ere Vader comes.
I shall be jovial and shine with joy -
A colt is ridden best by kindly rider.
I know 'tis true: it worketh ev'ry time.
Thus, to deceive I shall employ a jest.
[walking to Han] Thou slimy, double-crossing, no-good swine!
Thou hast a nerve to show thy cheating face,
Since thou hast prov'n thyself a lying thief!
HAN: Is't possible? Is friendship's mem'ry slain?
LANDO: Heigh-ho, I mock at thee, my goodly friend!
How art thou, pirate? 'Tis a joy to see
Thee here.
C3P0 [to Leia] - He doth seem full of friendship's mirth.
LEIA: Aye, truly, he seems full of it indeed.





They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters, these see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep. -Psalm 107
