When one good woman can lead to another I have sinned, but there is much to be gained from the odd excursion into immorality. Tonight's floral thought for Milady is not only theft, but a mere detail from one of Chara's often stunning photos. Recently enamoured of photography, she wields her camera with all the wit, sense of fun and intelligence unleashed by the many artistic gifts shared on the Chara A. Williams site. The search for Lady E's picture sent me browsing Chara's online world for an astounded hour, from the "yoyodyne" (keep right on clicking) -- defined as "the amount of force required to impart an acceleration of one centimeter per second per second to a yo-yo with a mass of one gram (cm/g/sec)" -- to an essay which begins like this: "'Should they or shouldn't they have sex?' The question arises from the mouths of X-Files fans as often as 'are there or aren't there aliens?' A heated, inexhaustible, and at times hostile debate has taken place between X-Philes, both online and off, over the fate of Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully's sex lives. The most oft asked question on the eve of The X-Files movie's release in June 1998 was not 'Do Mulder and Scully discover the aliens once and for all?' but rather, 'Do Mulder and Scully kiss once and for all?'" (read on at 'Contextual Intercourse: Decoding Sex in The X-Files'). With return visits in mind, I've added Chara to the roll of honour (and infamy). What a change such accomplished and varied work makes from the dozens of software tutorial sites I've frequently stumbled across in the search for the flower of the hour... 9:08:56 PM  link   your views? []
