“In the real dark night of the Soul, it is always three o’clock in the morning.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Ah well, one always presumed, rather mistakenly as it turns out, that one had some sort of copyright on a time like that. I mean c’mon, what could be more quintessentially me than three in the a.m., some entertainment (Le sacre du printemps. Zbigniew Zamachowski. The Yardbirds. John Mayall. Cream - I’m not picky, unlike clapton), some cacao infused delectation and a little nicotine inhalation?
And of course, a well stocked fridge for when those munchies come calling. Ah the sweet and simple life, so very far it never has quite seemed before.
One’s brain is on its protesting way to becoming the most exercised muscle in one’s body, much to one’s chagrin. And one was recently unpleasantly surprised with the discovery of a hitherto comfortably missing guilt mechanism known as a conscience INSIDE ONE’S BODY! Now I know what they mean by ‘your body changes as you grow older’ – one will never quite be twenty again (tho’ here is not the time or place to mention sags and allsuch).
Incidentally, still searching for Nina Simone… all along the… naah.

Did you eat cryptic crosswords during childhood?
umm...make that consume cryptic crosswords during childhood! :D
must insist on the PROTESTING part of the brain exercise sentence... you must realize that whatever little mental activity there are traces of is completely unwilling... so obtuse comments (complimentary or otherwise) are merely tolerated rather than encouraged, you understand of course. and since this is the sacred space of confession and allsuch, here's one: i've never been able to crack a cryptic crossword. not once - just don't get them...though its not some general disability... i love the usual kind, and even encryption and allsuch. in fact just to prove i'm smart i sometimes EVEN MANAGE A SUDOKU all on my own!!!!
i feel like giving you a toffee for that last sentence:)
babe put your money where your mouth is... you now owe me a toffee and i know where you live... this is like fatal attraction all over again muahahaha
