My Photo Gallery
I am currently using a Picasa album to share my pictures, because using plan html to make my album is a pain, and I haven't found any good and easy to use photo album software yet. Click on an image to view the full album of its category.


























And indeed there will be time
To wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?"
Time to turn back and descend the stair,
With a bald spot in the middle of my hair --
[They will say: "How his hair is growing thin!"]
My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin,
My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin--
[They will say: "But how his arms and legs are thin!"]
Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.
From The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (by T.S. Eliot)


This is why we should not follow the rules of conversation:
A: Do you know what time it is?
B. Not without looking at my watch.

A: Can you tell me what time it is?
B: Oh, yes, all I have to do is look at my watch.

A: Will you tell me what time it is?
B: I suppose I will as soon as you ask me.

A: What time is it?
B: Two o'clock. Why didn't you ask me that in the first place?
