(I read all of them through last week, before I started commenting.) I <i>will</i> be coming back around to offer <a href="http://www.insearchofgiants.com/2010/01/commenting-on-silhouette.html" rel="nofollow">my keep/tweak comment</a>, but I didn't want anyone to snark. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />Aerin (#236)<br /><br />BTW, it's perfectly fine if you still want to snark, but this way you can choose a more appropriate subject, like the Golden Globes or those wretched Old Navy dummies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-60543828548576647782010-01-18T17:43:59.368-05:002010-01-18T17:43:59.368-05:00i liked the style, it was easily readable yet it c...i liked the style, it was easily readable yet it contained so much...SzélsőFahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11600289147447182465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-89059749043976821372010-01-17T22:41:58.190-05:002010-01-17T22:41:58.190-05:00Very enjoyable indeed; This is like 2 stories in o...Very enjoyable indeed; This is like 2 stories in one... and all in less than 250 words.

And the Shah blahing away to glory. through orchards of lichis and mangoes. with the fragrances of wild flowers.
