And now for a few unrelated thoughts:
*The Diving Bell and the Butterfly: Why not Morse code? (spoiler alert: if you haven't seen the film, don't click this link)
*Reading versus television: Why does the brainless one so often win out when we know that books actually seem to add something to us? And even more pressing-- why is it such an easy babysitter, and why do I give in to PBS kids on a daily basis?
*Walled gardens: Is there any idea more comforting?
*Summer in the Northwest: What's that? For a born-and-bred Midwestern girl, this is my second sloooooow ascent to summer, and it's very strange.
*Microwaving vegetables: Oops! All the nutrients are zapped, tapped? Maybe, and maybe not.

ah pbs kids, it is what we watch too. although if truth be told, i really like wordgirl and arthur. like a lot.
i really really really liked the diving bell and the butterfly. the filming was especially beautiful when they filmed as if the viewer was in his head. ah, heartbreaking.
If you haven't read Diving Bell yet, I highly suggest you do. It's just as beautiful as the film, if not moreso. The film is an excellent adaptation, capturing the spirit of the book perfectly.
wordgirl is top notch.
i totally want to read the book for diving bell (...)
but guys... why not morse code?
You can't win either way...
With the alphabet, the reader gets tired.
With morse code, that poor eyelid would get awfully tired.
I'd rather put the strain on the reader than the eyelid.
ah! mr. shorb! really good point.
