Hah–you see how disappointing it? Sensational title, boring content.

Thomas de Quincey, I hope you are rolling over in your grave over what you have left behind. Confessions of an Opium-Eater, my arse! You are quite a disappointment. I want to blog about how inspired I am, I want to be able to ponder the mysteries of life through your work, to be rolling new words and facts over my tongue. You give me nothing to express, and seem to have nothing to express either.

The forecast for this weekend looks steadily cooler, with a dry front coming in from the west….
