I’ve activated a plugin that allows commenters to subscribe to the post they just commented on – it will send you email notifications when someone makes a new comment.
I did this because I hate going back to other people’s blogs to see if there are any comments after or in response to mine – it makes me look like a stalker in their stats programs!
I have a reader from Aïn Sebaa, and I love the name of that town. “Eye of the Lion,” how cool is that? I have so many memories of coming through on the train and listening for to the announcements. “Casa Port, Ain Sebaa, Mohammedia, Bouznika, Skhirat,Temara Plage, Agdal, Rabat Ville!!!”
I want everyone to please note that the donkey is now :
1. Present.
2. Has some grass to eat. (though I don’t know why he wouldn’t like some nice tomato soup, Byron)
Next you’ll have me drawing him a little stable or something, maybe with a pillow.
NOTE : I mean that I am the slave of the donkey. It’s not supposed to refer to Allah – but, if God is in everything, is he not in a donkey, too?
“The North African mule talks always of his mother’s brother, the horse, but never of his father, the donkey, in favor of others supposedly more reputable.”
- Clifford Geertz
“That which is called firmness in a king is called obstinacy in a donkey.”
- John Erskine
“Fear can make a donkey attack a lion.”
- Arab Proverb
I changed the theme again. I just can’t help it. If I look at the same old theme for too long, I don’t feel like posting.
I took the opportunity to update to WP 2.1 (very exciting) and had a lot of fun looking through various color theme choosers. I took a class on color in high school (actually via Kenyon College), and I earned a lot then that is slooooowly coming back to me now.
Now I need to find another home for the donkey…
