threescore barrels of powder below
This is my obligatory Gunpowder Plot quadricentennial post. Remember, remember the fifth of November and all that. Truth to be told the whole thing is something I'm a bit ambivalent about in terms of commemoration, since oppression of Catholics and blowing people to tiny bits are both Bad Things, so it all ends up as kind of a wash.
Fireworks, on the other hand, are a Good Thing.
At any rate, my cable and Internet connection have marked the occasion mimetically by exploding. I'm currently at the library to check email and whatnot, and then I am going off to seek props for the Spanish Tragedy readthrough. Hopefully the repairmen will have things back in order by the time I get back. No TV and no internet make Lea...something something.
(Actually they ruin Lea's best-laid plans for slacking off. If I have a functional computer and no internet, I might actually have to do work! Perish the thought.)
