whalesong














Don't call me Ishmael.
It's 10.30 and I'm listening to recorded whale noises (www.whalesong.net). It's supposed to be relaxing. eBay has 'Recorded Whale Noises :Various Artistes' on sale - my first impression was various artistes !!! how crass !!! - then, as the realization dawned, it became various artistes !!! how cool !!! -
They sound like cows, these whales .. drawn out cow noises ...
I don't want mom to waking up terrified thinking that a cow has got into the house, so, after designating tomorrow as listen-to-the-whales day, operations shall cease for now.

whale, whale, whale.
Per Mr. Barry, there were occasions, when he was wading through the book, when he wished ishmael had not survived to tell the tale either.
How goes the sabbatical?

there is a girl inside the whale. she is attached to his heart by strings and dances to keep him alive.

fyi, the girl got removed during the last bypass the whale had, she's been replaced by a small automated doll which has been work just as well since...
