ic Wales - Reinventing Dylan (Jun 19 2004 02:58 GMT) - ic Wales - Reinventing Dylan Reinventing Dylan Jun 18 2004, David Williamson, The Western Mail IF A film called Being Bob Dylan is ever released, English literature professors, guitar-caressing students, latter-day Beatniks and teenagers hungry for epiphany will stand in cinema queues worldwide. Stepping inside the universe of the man who was born Robert Zimmerman is something Dylan fans have spent their lives trying to do. Extraordinarily few people know anything about his private life, and the morsels of knowledge which have been snatched by Dylanologists have fed appetites instead of sating them. When the love lives of third-rate celebrities... |

the first ding is always the worst (Jun 19 2004 02:57 GMT) - We had a great time tonight having dinner with Pop and Polly and our cousins, Jolene, Bob and Louise. We swapped family stories about vacations, family cars, and ancestors who liked to double as apparitions (even though they were still alive.) Our dinner at Bob Evans was surprisingly good... much better than previous experiences I've had at the restaurant. When Lydia and I got home, I opened the trunk to get out my bag that I shuttle back and forth to work with - the one that carries my iBook. |

Pick your Bird (Jun 19 2004 02:57 GMT) - I'm still playing with new styles for the site. I find when I'm tired, or want to think about a topic before I write on it, that playing around with a new style is very soothing. After all, it's very easy because all of the styles use the same basic layout and layout is the tough part of a web page design. I thought I would write out the details of how all this works since the sheet switching seems to be working relatively well. I'm still tweaking, but that's primarily because of my extensive use of photos and graphics. |
