The reality is in this head. Mine. I'm the projector at the planetarium, all the closed little universe visible in the circle of that stage is coming out of my mouth, eyes, and sometimes other orifices also.

Truer words never said, darling. You are full of self-confident elegance and poise. You are Mary Poppins: Practically Perfect in Every Way. Go find yourself a Dick-Van-Dyke-looking chimneysweep to entertain you in your quiet moments. (possibly offensive comment):Spoiler
Not that d¥kes are of any use to you, of course.
My interview today went well--the agency thinks it might have something for me, though I'd have to commute via public transport for about a day and half each way to get there. We'll see....
I'd hire you if I lived in America and owned a big publishing company.
I feel great. Yesterday I got the part time hours that I wanted at work, plus on Saturdays I go on the internal Helpdesk instead of the normal phones.
In addition, one of my best friends gets back from Australia today after being away for three months. Oh rapture.

"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
-George Steiner

I've been dragging all day. I'm tired, I have a headache. I want Ibuprofen and my bed. But, can't do that. Hubby's at GTI in Chicago (something about taking their robot apart and refiring the laser), there's creeters to feed, laundry to do, bills to pay.......
And here I sit!
Be kind to your web-footed friends, for a duck may be somebody's mother.
