Things I've done, not in any particular order.

* Got up at 8.30.
* Bought gel inner tube and more tyre patches.
* Bought extension cables (:p sonic). Albeit in the fourth shop on Newmarket road I went in.
* Reading Cryptonomicon again. It is still good. Is it one of the marks of a classic book that you keep noticing new things every time you reread it?
* Joined atreic and emporer and people in the Castle (their local! just beyond the post box, how cool?) for food and drink. There I:
* Had two binges
* Collected final word on my flowery shirt. I thought they were cheery (and incidently cheap) but everyone, friends and colleages, says 'no'. Though atreic said "no (but I like it)".
* I said many embarassing things some of which got written down ("Being short and froglike is more important than getting the girl").
* I am perceived as short person, despite not being really. This is interesting because I tend to do that, but wasn't sure how much other people did. I don't know if it's psychological, or if I just hunch, and either way if that's from deprecatingness or something else.
* There was mutual hand massaging. This is very relaxing.

Otherly, how come my last post got nearly 50 comments? I should haylp more often, assuming getting comments is the goal in life :)

Hand in hand, being pursued by a giant Cantor crashing through mathematics like Gozirra through Tokyo...

It's the giant Cantor imagery that's scaring me.

I didn't think that was particularly more surreal than the Cardinal Boutique sketch... :)

I'm not scared by surreal, I'm scared by things being "giant" and "crashing" and pursuing me through tokyo.

I think this one is the fiftieth, it should collapse...

LOL. Fair enough. But it isn't real. And it's not through Tokyo. It's *like* through Tokyo :)

*goes to hide in a corner and wait for the world to go away and nice infinities to come with sparkly things*
