1. When you suddenly realize that you have been inside for five days straight and are quite close to losing your mind, do not watch The Aviator*.
2. Do, however, contemplate the progress of the hyacinths you are forcing in water. They are much more calming.
*Do watch The Aviator if you are in a different frame of mind, as it is quite excellent - so excellent that it makes madness seem like something that could happen to anyone. One may watch it when one is in a funk, but with the consequence of waking up the next morning still contemplating the dank spaces in the human mind.

OMIGOD. You've been indoors for five days straight? I can't fathom it. I'm sure the introduction of mental images of small children bouncing legos off my head precludes my comprehension. Regardless, I so admire your perseverity. I believe I'd be behaving like batpoo. Maybe bouncing legos off small children heads myself. hee.

P.S. The hyacynth photo is very cool.

I'm going on four days (at 3+ this am), so you've got me topped there. But I'll get outside today, at least to get the mail or something, take a breath of air or two. For me, it's justified loafing; after the drain of semester one, I'd say it's well deserved . Anything it takes to charge the batteries for semester two, I tell myself.
