Alexander 6, V64.

Quiet day relatively, except of the continuous blabbering in the next office. Women.
Nothing special for today either, and back to fasting as for the previous 3 weeks. For my lack of time I couldn't try my little tripod yesterday! All what I was doing today is adding the usual words into the list for my dictionary. Along the way, I was looking around for songs for Cheb Mami on youtube and found some amazing stuff that I never listened to before. One of those songs was a dueto between Mami and an Italian singer that I didn't hear of before this time, Zucchero. I believe his style is cool as well, judging from this song (which is in fact sang by Zucchero originally, entitled "Cosi Celeste"):



I couldn't believe that Mami was in fact found guilty in some case for drugging his ex and trying to force her for abortion. There are some faces that sometimes, when you look at them, you can never believe any a criminal attitude or tendencies at all. However, he is jailed in France; a spot known for the hassle made of everything not French.

In the process, and while having a break from adding words, I wrote one piece after having words in my mind for days without specific order. I called it, I Believe. In this one, I've mixed some styles, wondering if it would look and sound good. Hope you like it.

Thinking now seriously of ordering that tripod head, but the options are wide and I don't know what to pick or what is right for me. They are filthy expensive, but it would be nice to have before traveling to any spot on Earth. A macro lens is also on the list, but, not so essential right now, since most of my work is with architecture and landscapes, and portraits sometimes. Portraits though, are not my favorite subject!

1513. the wife served the food and the two ate
1514. while the creature called Cadid was outside
1515. it was tightened to a tree as Biryári asked
1516. and while the meal was served the two had a chat
1517. about living in the forest and what Alexander saw in it
1518. and the old man talked about his old adventures
1519. adventures when he was a young man still
1520. and when the two of them finished the meal
1521. the old man asked Alexander about his story
1522. thus Alexander went on telling his long story
1523. and how he met Shdáyur the smith to come up here
1524. then the old man asked about the village and its people
1525. but Alexander answered: I could not live much among them,
1526. because of the story of Birbuár as I told you before,
1527. I think they are nice people indeed, but nothing I could do
1528. and Biryári answered: yes, indeed, they are nice,
1529. and Birbuár was not the best of this village,
1530. thus please pardon them for hating you like that,
1531. but the deeds of Birbuár were unbearable
1532. thus Alexander smiled and said to the old man
1533. "O good old man, be sure there is no place in my heart,
1534. for hatred to these people that I do not know at all,
1535. but help me please with this quest in this Uhir Daynur,
1536. for I did indeed miss my people and my beloved"

Alexander 6, V63.

 After a severe period of diarrhea for some hours that almost looked like a complete day, or it is in fact one day as a whole, I decided that today I must not fast. I still feel the weakness in my body though. I'm spending most of the day trying not to drink anything else but water. Hopefully, I can get back to fasting by tomorrow.
Ideas been racing through my mind on how to expand my work with photography, and thinking of getting some specialized VR head for my tripod (to catch on with panoramas) and also a macro lens, despite the fact that I'm still planning to visit Ireland but not yet settled on a specific location! All of Ireland is beautiful...

I just realized that until this moment I was so busy with many things that I've forgot to test my small tripod until this moment! The guest room in my house has been changed, and problably worthy for a trial again. Since the little tripod is so hard to control, I was thinking of some way to rotate it without having to release the screw of the head, and this is maybe feasible only by rotating the tripod itself, and to do so, I need to check that the tripod won't move left and right (or at least to minimize the shake). It is time to do some inventional work here. My idea is to have some sort of disk fixed as a base for the tripod, and probably (depending on the opening of the tripod legs) a simple CD or DVD might fit in for this purpose. I might put pictures in here for it if it worked.

The word adding process is going smoothly despite some troubles with repititve words and some grammatical mistakes that I've discovered in classifying words. The text body of the grammar section might need a complete renovation! Not good news.
Just out of fun, I'm listing here some words that will come later in the dictionary (hopefully):

1489. Alexander then greeted the old man with a smile
1490. but the old man remained silent and scared
1491. Alexander asked him then: something wrong?
1492. the old man gathered his strength and this he said
1493. "who are you O young man?! Never saw your likes before,
1494. and in my whole life I never saw someone catching a Cadid!
1495. and not any Cadid, but his own Cadid!"
1496. thus Alexander replied: but O old man, I am a stranger,
1497. not from this land only, but from this world as well,
1498. would you please tell me, are you Biryári the woodsman?
1499. the old man raised his eyebrows and replied: yes, I am!
1500. I guess there is a long story behind you to tell O young man!
1501. come in into my humble home please, but keep this out!
1502. Alexander then asked in a hurry: that just reminds me!
1503. what is the Cadid you are talking about?!
1504. and how this thing has my own face on him?!
1505. and the old man smiled back at Alexander
1506. and he knew that Alexander was a complete stranger
1507. thus he calmed Alexander down and invited him
1508. to get into his home, but after tying the beast
1509. and the two agreed to tell the stories of each other
1510. after the food is served and Alexander is treated as a guest

1512. and the old man called upon his wife to cook
