After a day most wearisome, spent in ceaseless correspondences multiplying without end, I seek retreat in computation, as though in research I might find sanctuary from such clamour. Here am I, in my chamber, attended by a glass of wine and the solemn company of Law & Order, embracing solitude.
In the scientific research system, the scientists are aggravated by two separate but equally annoying embuggerances: administrivia and sleep deprivation. Well that’s my story.
Underrated comment for sure
Glad you liked it.
Friday afternoon and it’s absolutely pissing down. All I need now is a raven and a mantle piece.
It rained for hours here today too! Tropical weather coming up from Mexico.
Ours is coming from Antarctica
🤣
"My friend, I write as the day fades over this forgotten plain and failures accrued surround my very being. In a spirit of retreat, the primary solace is the knowledge of tomorrows existence and opportunity anew. "
The hill run didn't go so well I presume 🤣
It was actually pretty good (not great, but "good considering conditions") ☺️ ... more just channeling a feeling based upon your lead off there.
Oh I was just complaining about emails 😆
Emails are so often loathsome. I'm absolutely certain it was justified. Re: Run: Best part of run was a bunch of new music I'd cycled into my playlist ... and I always love conquering "kill hill", as I call it. The run actually has 3 of them, but the first is particularly intense.
Not bad! Somewhere Edgar Allen Poe is smiling.
Coincidentally, our friend group recently did a Poe salon night and I did an interpretive dance to a reading of Telltale Heart 😆
That looks fun! Glad it wasn't The Cask of Amontillado. 🤣
I also played Fortunato in a reading of that 🤣
Haha. I did too, ages ago in high school. All I remember is "For the love of God, Montresor!" Makes you think twice when you start pining for some "alone time." 🤣
A very good joke, indeed, an excellent jest!
Quoth the maven. 🤣
