Mnemonic for Middle Egyptian Alphabet

The vulture from the reed leaf flew
And landed on the reed leaf two
The arm which reached the quail chick's foot
Then reached a stool and on it put
A horned viper!
The owl above the water swooped
It's mouth as an enclosure drooped
And dropped the rope - a big descenta!
Upon the floating there placenta.
Animal bellies and bolts of doors
And folded cloth may be in stores
But pools and hills and basket lands
Are seldom far from old jar-stands.
A loaf of bread is not a hobble
A hand can't make a cobra bobble!

Sleepiness

Our minds play amazing tricks on our bodies. Many bloggers have already mentioned that they are sleepy and tired. It is just after 1:00 pm here. On any other day I would be wide awake - cleaning, reading, studying, plurking, shopping. But because I HAVE to sit here I am yawning and blinking.

I only ever make one pot of coffee a day but I think today might be an exception.

Very cool blog, good luck on the Blogathon my fellow Blogathon-er.

Coffee can help, I prefer tea myself.
