A crater. We are peering down into it. I think you've lost your hat and we're wondering if it is worth going after. It is 'supposed to be' a bottomless pit but we all know that is silly - that there are no such things. Are there? I hope there aren't because it would mean ...well that the world wasn't round or solid like or something. I mean you'd just chute out the other side like I'd come out somewhere in the pacific ocean and then I'd drowned. And that would be a bummer wha!? But then you say that you didn't really like that hat anyway, that your aunt gave it to you and it was a Tilley Endurable and Malcolm says "who'd want that stupid thing to endure?" and we all laugh so hard that I fall in.Jan Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01771180344305042855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936402483709284852.post-54098492019018963192010-08-19T01:57:38.546+01:002010-08-19T01:57:38.546+01:00My feet stink.

It usually shows a disgraceful lack of thought or consideration. <br /><br />In books, especially, nothing is ever random. Never. Apart from the flamingoes.M.J.

And then I thought about "Water for the Elephants" which I am currently reading. And then I thought about going home. Not just because the book is there, but also because I feel that I did good merely by showing up at the university this morning, and they can hardly expect me to stay all day. And then I thought about how I really <i>should</i> stay all day since I am way behind and I am seeing my supervisor again tomorrow. And then I thought about going home anyway, to bake - mostly because it is baking weather and baking - procrastibaking, of course - would take my mind off the work I should be doing. And then I thought about the possibility for going home, reading my book and/or watching 30 rock. <br /><br />And then I thought about a telescopes, for some reason.Cruella Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422848273167338884noreply@blogger.com
