hawkwing_lbI am wrecked and nervous, and the cat is needy. Also, my brain and my motivation have eloped, leaving me here alone. With the packing. And the needy cat who is very needy.
Books 2008: 83-84
83. Charles Stross, Saturn's Children.
I liked it. A lot.
84. Marcus Rediker, Villains of All Nations: Atlantic Pirates in the Golden Age (Boston, 2004)
A short book, but nonetheless an excellent overview of piracy as a social phenomenon.
#
Gods, I'm tired. And anxious, and under-exercised. Bad combination.
I really just want to go hide in a wardrobe until the packing magically does itself and all this shit goes away.
(And on an unrelated topic, I am pissed off at the racist and sexist dialectic I keep coming across in the national papers. It makes me want to hit something. Can I not just have a civilised country already?)
