quick update

unfortunately the past two weeks, rather than being full of time to be creative, have been full of some things approaching busy-work, some things not. needless to say it has been busy

i do hope to have time enough to do a proper posting on the weekend

last saturday, i read cormac mccarthy's the road in its entirety because, well, i needed a bit of relaxing time and reading is that. it took a while to adjust to the style of it, not an altogether uncommon thing i guess. but it was a pretty decent read. by way of being lazy, i will leave you with a short part i thought was really good:

"The one thing I can tell you is that you wont survive for yourself. I know because I would never have come this far. A person who had no one would be well advised to cobble together some passable ghost. Breathe it into being and coax it along with words of love. Offer it each phantom crumb and shield it from harm with your body. As for me my only hope is for eternal nothingness and I hope it with all my heart."
