I’ve bought the lens, made the arrangements, tied up as many loose ends as I could, and now it is just 3 days to go. At some point in the last week I finally ran out of steam; this year has ground me down to nothing at all. After all the dust and packing, moving and sorting, I’m now vaguely hay-feverish; I have not sat down to read for weeks, and surely this distended feeling is not going to be permanent. New subscriptions to the Economist, Prospect, New Humanist and Vanity Fair have sealed my fate; I am to become, once again, a careful word scribe and diarist, hurtling with reckless abandon to my doom. Soon, I will leave this barren mindscape behind. In the dregs of coffee and stains on wine glasses all over Europe.

There’s something wrong with your sidebar in Firefox: “[Table 'justin_amanuensis.wp_categories' doesn't exist]”
In other news, I need a manual like that one by Perec. That, or something like that, really should be issued with every new unit.
