I can deal with that, it's the mix I'm not too fond of...<br /><br />CAH - I haven't actually read that much of either (only one Allende, and I'm not really sure whether I just bought a Marques, or if I also read it), but I agree - my impression is that I could tolerate those ;)<br /><br />Yvonne - what a magical way to say "I agree", huh? ;)<br /><br />Jules - if it's a giraffe, I'll take it! And yay for the definitions - glad someone found my "easter eggs" ;)<br /><br />Mark - or perhaps I can just buy a magic set? I used to rule the trick with the missing ball in the double-bottomed cup...<br /><br />Sue - I think it's incredibly sweet that you thought of me even if the giraffe wasn't magical. I heard Adam Hills' new show aired the other day, and I thought of you :)Cruella Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422848273167338884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263129748509629442.post-7553739230200851902011-02-08T07:41:42.742+01:002011-02-08T07:41:42.742+01:00I saw a giraffe down the street last week, and tho...I saw a giraffe down the street last week, and thought of you. Sadly it wasn't magical, just a large statue in a shop window.

You sho...I prefer your definition. I mean giraffe.<br /><br />You should read Kelly Link's "Magic For Beginners." She does original things with the genre, so I've heard. Giraffe. Giraffe.
