Today was great. Got another run of 2000 words done and read SO much-- even by my standards. YAY! : D
The Recognitions is quite a book. What a mammoth beast! : O

I was traumatized today.
Went to get my hair trimmed up but my usual stylist wasn't there. Turned out she had to cancel because her son was sick. That was fine. There was someone free who could tend to a simple old hair cut.
All was fine, got paired off with a girl about my age, until I actually sat in the chair. The first words out of this person's mouth were: "do you want your curls straightened". If she hadn't had a pair of pointy scissors in her hand I would have asked was she insane.
My hair is a wild curly / wavy mess. Take my arm, take a leg, kindly leave those curls alone.
Apparently, 1916 was an even worse year. I guess we've little to quibble about in comparison.
If you think that's bad, I ate several eggs of questionable origin. Could've been old but they looked okay and now my stomach is gurgling. Hope I don't get diarrhea. The wife said you never can tell with abandoned nests and that by the way, ' you know you shouldn't eat triceratops- the horns always do this to you..." Yada yada yada... Like how does she know what kind of eggs they were? Anyway... The sky has been really cloudy ever since that huge boom a month ago, and the air is difficult to breath, well, sometimes. The plants are all dying but I don't care- I don't eat them anyway; never have. I wish this black weather would clear up.
Watching a documentary on the Plague...Don't ask me why, I just like history.
The middle of the 1300's was really shitty, bubonic plague and a whole series of failed harvests. The population of England probably halved from around four million to two million over the century, though it's hard to tell.Quote:

2016, fuck you.
And Liz Smith, the old lady that played 'Nan' in The Royal Family, but maybe you don't get that. 24th December, what a day to pick to die, no thought, ruins Christmas.Quote:
