In the beginning there was the Big Bang, and that was a very long time ago. This is just a reminder of this evening’s extra performance. You can still grab a ticket. In brief, the encore revolves around the creation of the performance’s audience. And in any case, without an audience to applaud [...]

my everlasting sorethroat, which sprung into action last tuesday, has finally shown signs of relenting. after popping lousy SAF lozenges like sweets, after finishing more than a box of expensive Difflam Lozenges. rather amazing that it kept up for so long, and even more amazing that i did not develop a fever, as i fully [...]

If there is a god, he is not only a wizard at leaving clues behind. More than anything, he’s a master of concealment. And the world is not something that gives itself away. The heavens still keep their secrets. There is little gossip amongst the stars. But no one has forgotten the Big Bang [...]

Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy
Chapter 25 - The New Acquaintance Described
Idiosyncrasy and vicissitude had combined to stamp Sergeant Troy as an exceptional being.
He was a man to whom memories were an encumbrance, and anticipations a superfluity. Simply feeling, considering, and caring for what was before his eyes, he was vulnerable only in [...]

it was with a certain resignation that he lived out the last moments.
