(Fade in music, "I Want to Hold your Hand" by the Beatles)
Was at National Bookstore - QA yesterday to grab some books for family members celebrating their birthdays one after the other. Was thrilled when I came across "Lady of Avalon" by Marion Zimmer Bradley, sequel to one of my all-time favorites, "Mists of Avalon," about the rise and fall of Camelot but seen through the eyes of its women - Gwenhwyfar, Viviane, and Morgaine. ('The best retelling of the Arthurian saga I have ever read. Completely compelling.' - Isaac Asimov).
Also, I got three new books from my former housemate! These are "Cross-Cultural Filmmaking," "Documentary Storytelling for Film and Video," and "Making Documentary Films and Reality Videos." I still have to crack the last two though. ;) A good friend also lent me "Participatory Video." Those should keep me occupied for a while. :)
Haven't been making carrot cookies lately (too meticulous to do) but I did manage to bake ginger bars! Friends always think they're about to bite into chocolate brownies until their first taste and smell. And then, the ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, coffee, brandy, and molasses slowly seep into their taste buds.... Really yummy and moist! :-D
Currently playing an MP3 compilation of the Beatles! It seems like a Beatles sort of day today. :-)
I Want to Hold Your Hand
Words and Music by John Lennon and Paul McCartney
I'll tell you something
I think you'll understand
When I say that something
I wanna hold your hand.
(chorus)
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
Oh please say to me
You'll let me be your man
And please say to me
You'll let me hold your hand.
(chorus)
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
(bridge)
And when I touch you
I feel happy inside
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide.
Yeah, you got that somethin'
I think you'll understand
When I say that somethin'
I wanna hold your hand.
(chorus)
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
(bridge)
And when I touch you
I feel happy inside
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide.
