Years ago I had a needle put through my side ribs during a medical procedure and all this afternoon and this evening a little muscle has been jumping and flickering right on that spot. It happens from time to time, but not usually so much. It's like a tiny little fish, shimmering right against my ribs. Jump jump jump

Apparently nerves have a memory, and can go into spasms even years after being damaged. I've discovered this recently on account of an old neck injury flaring up.

Re the megrims: I had to look it up to be sure (I love when you use lovely words that are old but still fresh), and yeah, I'm in 'em too. I'd like to bypass the next two months and skip to the glorious carefree spring-summer bit of Melbourne life.

Oh no you too! What is it with arts graduates in this town? We are all in the doldrums. Perhaps it's just winter-fatigue... I haven't endured a whole winter here for years, usually I cleverly skip overseas for part of it (she said, annoyingly). It just goes on and on. Where's the joy? Joy is gone.

The only remedy I can come up with is lots and lots of nesting and watching good dvds and reading books. And Arnott's Mint Slices.

I was talking with someone last week about this, and he brought up the revolt of the African American people against slavery. I don't know enough about that situation, but the gist of it was that it wasn't at the point when the oppression was the worst that the uprising came, it was after there was just a little taste of freedom

Oh dude you too! What's going on?? Sorry to hear you're also GLUM. GLUMNESS seems the new black. It's as much as I can do to just sit here and breathe.

I haven't had a full winter for years -- it's brutal. I am heartily sick of it/myself/everything. Hang in there, mate.

Let the spring come! Oh, please. Please.
