    The Ox-Bow Incident by Walter Van Tilburg Clark

    My playlist (inadvertently) has had a common theme for the past half hour. I've listened to:

    Golden Brown: The Stranglers. (Yes, as heard in Snatch.)



    Mr.Brownstone: Guns n'Roses

    Comfortably Numb: Pink Floyd

    Perfect Day- Lou Reed

    Ok, so what's the common theme? This is a musical research project. Think of it as discovering the themes in Austen novels, but instead, you're discovering the common theme between

  4. The Blind Girl

    The fireworks are very beautiful
    But she is unable to see them
    For her, the fireworks
    Are but some terrible sound
    Somewhat similar to guns
    She sits alone on a board
    That is her little bed
    Covered with clean bedding
    She presses hands over her ears
    Every time when the fireworks crack
    To endeavor to control her trembling
    Lest it should startle the kind woman
    Who is a rubbish collector
    She call her mother

  5. Beautifull

    Summer's nearly gone and i'm still not ready for another hectic schedule.
    I was on the road 2 days ago with 15 of my friends, we went star sighting and observing. It was such a GORGEOUS sky!!!! we took tons of pictures which i'll post in a day or two, it was just so much...different. There you are in the middle of nowhere 6 hours away from your town not a single light on nor a single car passing by, no TV or computer or even mobile connections.
    Just the stars twinkling above your head ...
