Under the Weather
Okay, so I’m writing even less than usual. I have an excuse, apart from apathy. I’ve had a really terrible cold since Tuesday. Mostly in… Read More »Under the Weather

The Camera Never Lies
I have some comments on the Bowie album, but they’ll wait.
I finally got a digicam today. With a timer. This enables me to jump in front of it and take shots like this:
