ONE WEEKEND!
Hoooooly shit.
Okay, am done catching up, hurrah.
"If you are in banking or if you fly an aircraft, you know that after you gain a substantial amount of expertise you are more or less guaranteed a profit or a safe landing. Whereas in the business of writing what one accumulates is not expertise but uncertainties. Which is but another name for craft. In this field, where expertise invites doom, the notions of adolescence and maturity get mixed up, and panic is the most frequent state of mind. So I would be lying if I resorted to chronology or to anything that suggests a linear process. A school is a factory is a poem is a prison is academia is boredom, with flashes of panic."
--'Less than one': Joseph Brodsky.
ETA: I wish I hated more people. I want to call someone a nobface. No reason.
Also, today is day of weirdly smelling people in computer room. Hmm.
Also, Smaller has left, Bigger is leaving tomorrow. Am gonna be alone for a week. And have no internet.
No fair.
