Fusion clothing and cormorants and that.
May. 14th, 2006 05:16 pm1. The article of clothing that is randomly annoying me today is the shirt-dress. I approach them in all innocence, frankly, thinking they're shirts, then realise to my growing horror that they go on more or less forever. Then I have to back away.
I do begin to believe it possible to have too little in the way of genuine horror in one's life.
2. Walking past the art centre today en route to a shop that kindly sells ibuprofen, I became privy to the loudest and most blazing row within the walls of said art centre that I think I ever have heard. I decided to assume they were rehearsing for a play. Luckily they were singing songs from West Side Story when I came back, so I think I made a good call there.
3. I also saw a cormorant sitting on a rock in the middle of the river and holding its wings out to dry. I had to laugh at it. Another cormorant was swimming in that disturbing way they have that makes them look as though they're drowning, with only their heads sticking out of the water. They are an entertaining species of bird.
4. 'It is generally concluded,' says Dr Pierce, 'that late suppers are injurious and should never be indulged in. Persons who indulge in hearty suppers at late hours usually experience a poor night's rest and wake the next morning unrefreshed, with a headache and a deranged stomach...or, perhaps, the individual never wakes.'
Egad.
5. This point exists purely to make up the numbers and need not be dwelt upon any longer.
