"All literature is consolation."
♥ Summer is icumen in, people: on the station path this morning, I walked past a little stream of about a dozen Wimbledon ball boys (and one ball girl) in their little uniforms, presumably on their way to ballchild school or summat. Très hilarious.
♥ My current sense of self identity is stumbling. Before half ten, I have been (a) myself (rarely a challenge), (b) Katie, on the phone to British Gas, and (c) one of our patients, on the phone to British Airways. I am wandering blind in a morass of confusion and names…
♥ Currently, I am reading Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster, which is one of my most favourite books ever, and which ALL PEOPLE should read for the awesomeness. I sense I will be reading Dear Enemy in the near future. I am also reading The Resistance, by Gemma Malley, which is the sequel to The Declaration, a vee good book wherein scientists have discovered the formula for eternal life, and there is strict bureaucracy involved in having children. As well as that, I am technically plodding through that new Stephanie Laurens I was whinging about a couple of weeks ago, and this morning I picked up a 2001 edition of my darling Prospect magazine that, as well as featuring an extremely interesting article about how the different series of Star Trek mirror changing American foreign policy and social attitudes, has an essay on the intersection (or not) between political philosophy and the practice of politics. All vee good stuff. What in this world is better that woooords and lang-widge and cul-tcha? What indeed? Let’s have a poll about it, eh?

♥ I’m really tempted to start the project of going through Waiting For God and adding some of its choicer moments to Wikiquote, but I probably can’t be arsed.
♥ I plan to watch Caprica tonight - quite excited about it.
